Wait, to clarify, is an effect persisting after battle and into the next? Because that absolutely shouldn't be happening. If you're just talking about avoiding going under the hypno during a fight though:
A little tip first: you can actually get the exact name of a status effect and what it does by hovering over it. They have tool tips now! I think you're talking about the "Open" one, the purple silhouette icon when submission gets to 100. There is indeed a way of dealing with it. Two ways actually. One is just to manage time: deal with the enemies before they can cycle you in. The other involves a special item. To find it, pay attention to the graffiti.
