What is hypnosis? (1 minute)

A natural, focused, relaxed state you've already been in, explained in one minute. Captions are on screen.

Inside the app: 82 programs

Habits around food, the way you talk to yourself and the hurts you still carry tend to run below conscious choice. These programs work at that level, with deep relaxation, visualization and suggestion aimed at one goal at a time.

Let Go Of The Past is included. Build a session with the induction and ending you like, and repeat the programs that speak to you until the new pattern feels natural.

Let Go Of The Past is included and yours to keep. The rest of the library unlocks with one purchase. No subscription.

Questions

What's included, and how do purchases work?
Let Go Of The Past is included with the app and yours to keep. Unlock the rest of the library with a single one-time purchase: no subscription, and it follows your Apple Account to your other devices. Already bought it? Tap Restore Purchases in the app.
How do I build a session?
Pick a program, choose an induction and an ending, add a background sound if you like, then press Play. Playlists line up several programs as one session.
Can I listen offline?
Yes. Once a program has played it's saved on your device and works with no connection.
What is hypnotherapy?
A state of focused, relaxed attention. You're not asleep and you're never controlled: you stay aware and in charge the whole time, relaxed enough to be open to positive suggestions.
What if I don't feel hypnotized?
Very common, and it doesn't mean it isn't working. Just relax and let the words wash over you; the benefit comes from listening consistently.
Is it safe?
Yes. You can open your eyes and stop at any moment. Never listen while driving or doing anything that needs your attention.
Which program should I start with?
Let Go Of The Past, the included program, then the shelf that matches what you want to work on first: weight and eating, a habit, or confidence.
How often should I listen?
Once a day works well for most people. Consistency matters more than length.
