App Profile: Self-hypnosis Patrick Browning

As seen in The Sunday Times and as featured by Apple as 'What's Hot'.

This hypnotherapy app teaches you how to take yourself into self-hypnosis, which is a very relaxed state, and where you can also motivate yourself to achieve your goals.

The process of taking yourself into a very relaxed state, known as self-hypnosis, is a very simple one and does not require any magic!

You know about being relaxed already. It is a feeling you might have just before falling asleep or when you have just woken up, or possibly when daydreaming in the middle of the day. As with any other skill you will find you get better with practice.

Here is a reminder of the steps involved:

- Decision to do self-hypnosis
- Find somewhere comfortable, feet flat on the floor or lying down, phones off
- Deep breath in, allow eyes to close as you breathe out
- Next breath out, say "one" silently to yourself
- Next breath out, say "deeply relaxed" silently to yourself
- And so on, until you reach the number 10
- Give yourself positive beneficial suggestions about your goals, health etc, repeating each one 10 times
- Or just enjoy the feeling of relaxation
- When you are ready to emerge, count back from 10 to one and then open your eyes

Reviews of the app

Sally Brampton, The Sunday Times
"And Relax...
Many people find hypnotherapy a powerful tool, not simply for cracking addictions, but also as a way to calm a racing mind. But, let's face it, it is expensive. Self-hypnosis is equally powerful, but best learnt from an expert. Patrick Browning, a member of the faculty of the Institute for Clinical Hypnosis and a fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine, has produced an app. His voice is so soothing and I was so relaxed, I was almost comatose."

This app really helps me sleep (5 stars - UK store)
by VikingFish71

"I'm usually a real cynic about these types of apps. But I have to say that I've never felt so relaxed in my entire life and the sleep lesson made me go to sleep and I never heard the end of the session as i was fast asleep snoring!! Don't be old cynic like me and just give it a go and I promise you will feel so so relaxed."
