Hypnosis Audio Guides started as a simple frustration: there are thousands of hypnosis recordings for sale and almost no honest information about what separates a useful session from a relaxing voice reading a generic script.

We listen to the recordings we write about — more than once, because a session you tolerate on day one can grate by day five — and we describe the technique behind the script so you can judge for yourself whether it targets your actual problem.

What we cover:

• What to listen for in a session — induction style, suggestion placement, pacing, background audio.
• How to use it — realistic listening schedules and what to expect in week one versus week four.
• What hypnosis can and can’t do — we are explicit about the limits and about when to work with a clinician instead.

We are not therapists and nothing here is medical advice. If you are dealing with a diagnosed condition, talk to a qualified professional before adding any self-help audio.
