Built around your specific pattern
Your session is generated from your own consultation. We ask when the reach happens, which apps, what feeling triggers it. Built around your specifics.
The phone solved a small discomfort so reliably that the brain now offers it as the answer to any pause. The reach happens before the deciding.
Compulsive phone use is a dopamine-loop behaviour. Variable-reward apps (social, news, messaging) deliver intermittent hits of novelty and social signal that the brain learns to seek the same way it seeks any reliable reward. The reach for the phone becomes the body's default response to any small pause, any small discomfort, any moment of being alone with itself.
App blockers and screen-time alerts work for some people some of the time, but they leave the underlying pattern intact — the brain still wants the reward, it just finds it elsewhere. The work that lasts addresses what the phone is regulating: small boredom, small anxiety, the discomfort of unstructured attention.
Phone out in the lift, the queue, the red light. Any gap in stimulation becomes a phone moment.
The 'I'll just check' that's still going at midnight. The hardest one to interrupt because nothing is asking for your attention.
Phone before feet on the floor. The day starting at someone else's algorithm before it starts at yours.
Phone as a regulator. Difficult feeling → unlock → distraction → feeling pushed below conscious access.
Looking at peers, friends, strangers' curated lives. The dopamine and the mood-drop in the same loop.
Reaching for the phone for messages that never came. The body so primed for notifications it invents them.
Phone-reach happens faster than conscious choice. By the time you notice you've unlocked, the deeper system has already routed for the reward. Self-criticism at the unlock-moment doesn't change the reflex.
Hypnotherapy works earlier in the chain. Rather than catching the reach, it offers the deeper mind different responses to the small pauses and small discomforts that produce the reach. The phone becomes one option rather than the default. The American Psychological Association recognises hypnotherapy as an evidence-based psychological approach.
Most generic content tells you to delete the apps. The session works on the reach reflex itself.
Your session is generated from your own consultation. We ask when the reach happens, which apps, what feeling triggers it. Built around your specifics.
You don't have to delete anything. The session works on the response. Many people find they reduce naturally once the reach softens.
Three short voice recordings during the consultation are analysed for emotional tone. The signature of compulsive reach shows in voice; the session is calibrated accordingly.
Every Hypnotrack pathway is built on clinical frameworks from a qualified hypnotherapist — registered, National Hypnotherapy Society (HYP16-03742).
The Habits & Behaviours pathway is designed for the specific shapes compulsive phone use takes. Some may sound familiar.
The hardest to interrupt and the worst for sleep. The session particularly targets the evening pattern.
First-thing-on-the-phone. Reclaiming the first ten minutes of the day for your own attention.
The hour lost to bad news. The cortisol elevation that follows.
The platforms most designed to be hard to put down. The session works on the reach, not the platform.
Phone as a regulator for difficult feelings. The cost: the feeling never gets felt and processed.
The inability to sit at a red light or in a queue without unlocking. The shrinking of unstructured attention.
Your session is around 15 minutes of personalised hypnotherapy audio. It opens with breath and grounding work.
It moves into recognition of your specific reach pattern. New patterns are introduced: the felt sense of tolerating small pauses, alternative responses to the underlying discomfort, and a different relationship with the phone when you do pick it up. Future-pacing — what daily life feels like with more space around the device. Yours forever.
Built from your own consultation — your specific reaches, your own language, the version of you who looks up.
We won't promise you'll never look at your phone again — that's not the goal. The goal is to make the phone one tool rather than the default response to any small gap. Useful when you want it, easy to put down when you don't.
If phone use is part of broader patterns (anxiety, depression, executive function difficulty), please consider supporting that work alongside.
No. The session works on the reach response. Many people choose to reduce social media use afterward, but the session works whether you keep the apps or not.
Often particularly — work-from-home has fewer environmental cues that distinguish 'focus time' from 'phone time'. The session can be calibrated around that context.
A common pattern that compounds insomnia. The session can address the reach specifically in the evening period. Many people pair it with sessions on Fall Asleep Faster.
The session is designed for adults. Phone-use patterns in teenagers have specific developmental dimensions and we'd recommend specialist support.
Often yes — many people with ADHD find compulsive phone use particularly difficult and the session helpful. We'd recommend it as one tool alongside any other ADHD support you have.
Around 15 minutes. Delivered within 30 minutes. Yours forever.
