Posthypnotic amnesia is the term used for the therapist inducing a patient to forget events that occurred during or before the hypnotic session. Hypnotic amnesia, while similar, refers to forgetting events that occurred during the hypnotic session only. Autohypnosis refers to self-hypnosis without the help of a therapist. Hypnotic meditation is a type of relaxation technique that combines hypnosis and meditation. Posthypnotic aphasia is not a recognized term.
