Is it true that if I remember hearing the hypnotist, I was not really hypnotized?

John McGrail, C.Ht. (Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist) gives expert video advice on: Is it true that my hypnotherapist has control of me when I am under hypnosis?; Is it true that only weak-minded people can be hypnotized?; Is it true that I can be put under hypnosis without my consent? and more...

When you're in hypnosis, even the deepest of trances, you're very likely to remember every single word you heard. About five percent of the time, a person in deep hypnosis will enter a state called spontaneous amnesia whereby when they come back to full conscious awareness, they may not remember anything. In fact, we sometimes use amnesia on purpose. We'll say, "Don't remember a thing I said, but allow your subconscious mind to take it on". Now, if that's the case, were I to suggest something antithetical to the client's goals, they'd remember it because they'd wake up instantly.
