Can hypnosis block a thought or make you forget a memoy or thought that you don't want to remember?

Yea I was wondering there is just this one thing i want to forget and not think of anymore and i would be much happier if I did forget it or not think about anymore, so I was thinking can hypnosis get rid of this thought and help think of something else or can it help you forget something maybe like an image that you saw or something you don't want to remember so you no longer think of that thought anymore or you can't recall that image or thought in your mind so you can't access to that memory or thought if it ever came up again can it make you forget certain numbers or dates in your mind also?

I mean can you use it to make forget a certain date (mm/dd/yyyy) in your head if you want to

Please I need your help I want to know if this is possile or not?

Update:

Im trying to get rid of a thought and a memory snd i just dont ever want to recall it or remember it ever again thats all its not a traumtic memory or anything but it would be best if i didnt remember it

    I don't think it would work. Under hypnosis, you'll receive a suggestion to do something. It's usually for to help remember something or to reinforce something.

    You should consider talking to a professional. You should work through whatever happened so that you can deal with it rather than trying to suppress what happened.

    Forgetting something is a natural thing, like what did you have for breakfast yesterday, it doesn't really matter and you had most likely forgotten about that anyhow.Until I just reminded you. Do something that is a challenge for you in the present moment and you will soon find your self having wonderful memories in the future.
