The traditional form of possession is a spirit occupying the bio-energetic field of your body but from within(the core). Think of this as an overlap of 100% synchronization, they complete control over most your bodily functions. You're basically in a trance like state but you don't perceive that you are(you're basically either an amnesiac or a passenger). You need to be compatible with the spirit otherwise you get stigmata. Some people are natural vessels so their organism doesn't "break" upon intrusion and it's easy for them to do that.
The second form is forcefully weakening someone's mind in order to "break" them so they can do the above to them. But most people where this is necessary aren't usually perfect vessels. So they do that and instead bind themselves to the persons head so they can be "puppeteered". This is also often times tonal in addition to energetic.
There are combinations of both depending on the type of person. The third variable is people who can be hypnotized effectively, most people have to be broken in order to be hypnotized. Entities can do this through mental or physical trauma.
You like to focus on possession but these methods are also extremely effective at automating proles. Often times most these people are not possessed but directed or it's a low level entity following protocol(like an egregore).
