WILL I HAVE AMNESIA?

Most hypnotists will tell you initially that you will remember everything that is said, and you may.  As you become more comfortable with hypnosis, your conscious mind may wander a bit as you become more deeply relaxed.  You may be very tuned in to what the hypnotist is saying one minute, and tune out the next.  If this happens, your memory of exactly what was said may be fuzzy.  You need not be concerned if this happens as your subconscious is always tuned in.  Most hypnotists will verbally go over everything that is important for you to remember when you are not in hypnosis and put in writing those instructions that are most important for you to follow.  Even if you were given the suggestion that you would not remember, since you are always in control of your own mind you may choose to remember anyway.  In the thirty years I have been practicing I have never given this instruction because I have never found a situation for which this would be warranted.
