The problem with hypnosis is that it can easily create false memories and sometimes it can be difficult to tell between a fake memory and a real one.
Contrary to popular belief, human memory sucks, even for extremely traumatic or emotionally charged events. It's actually very easy to create false memories. There have been experiments where the participants were implanted with memories of having met Bugs Bunny at Disney Land when they were young. There have also been experiments that showed false memories of bad experience with a certain type of food actually causing participants to like that food less.
