Glad you enjoyed it: I'm glad you enjoyed your hypnosis session. Yes, it's normal to remember much, if not all, of what is said. Sometimes the hypnotist will also make a recording of the session and give it to you, so that you can practice with it at home. Can be very helpful for anxiety and many other conditions. Good luck to you.

Yes: You can remember any/all suggestions while under hypnosis, whether it's light or deeper. I review with my patients, in advance, the suggestions we will use--they are tailored to the individual and the situation.
