Why I'm Building Hypnothera

I'm scratching my own itch with this one.

Did you know the standard hypnotherapy session is $100-$300 for an hour?!

Prerecorded sessions are about $15 on average per recording. And you don't even get to see the transcript ahead of time.

It is absolutely unbelievable how much gate keeping there is around this practice. Especially when it's nothing more than just that - a practice.

Hypnotherapists will have you believe that the multiple abbreviations after their name give them some sort of certified wizard status. The reality is that ALL hypnosis is Self-Hypnosis. Whether it's a recording or a live session, the voice you're listening to is nothing more than a guide. You can technically hypnotize yourself by just thinking to yourself if you have the mental fortitude for it.

Filling a Gap

Let's not take anything away from hypnotherapists. There are many very well qualified practitioners out there who have changed lives over the years. But let's face it, the majority of use don't have access to those practitioners. We don't live near them, nor could we afford their hourly rate anyway.

This is where many of us turn to online solutions. We go on Youtube to find generic prerecordings, and search for things like "hypnosis for sleep meditation", "hypnosis for anxiety", or "hypnosis for fear of flying"....

I've found Michael Sealy's free recordings immensely powerful, and appreciate him so much for putting his stuff out there for free. And seeing from his subscriber count on Youtube, hundreds of thousands of others have also been visiting and revisiting his work.

But after a few months of using the same recording, we all face the same question - "What if I want more personalized hypnotherapy?"

I wanted to go deeper into my anxiety. I have a fear of flying that has only recently developed. Personally I'm a frequent flyer and turbulence never bothered me until around 2020. I wanted to go deeper into the few bad experiences I had had and rewrite the story within my head so that I could fix those visceral physical sensations of anxiety around turbulence, rather than having to try to cover all the bases with another generic "Hypnosis for Anxiety" track on Youtube.

There is a clear gap in the market for affordable personalized hypnotherapy. There are plenty of hypnosis and meditation apps on the market. See: Hypnothera.ai vs. Reveri. The problem is that all of them are completely static. The content is stale. There's nothing personalized about it. They are pretty wrappers around the same old prerecorded sessions.

Why Personalization Matters

Would you rather have a go at a hypnosis audio that purports to "solve anxiety" for everyone, for all reasons?

Or would you rather have a carefully crafted audio specific to your reasons for anxiety?

Personally, I have a few very specific symptoms of anxiety that really bother me, as well as a few specific triggers that I'd like to work on.

I want my hypnosis track to specifically target those things.

For example, I feel a knot in my windpipe. I feel a sensation that there is some trapped negative gas in my throat, chest, and stomach that needs to get sighed out. So I sigh and I sigh and I sigh and it just keeps coming back.

Is there a single hypnosis audio out there that addresses that specific sensation? No. Even if there was, it's not easily found.

Then on top of that I may have a specific trigger, like having to make a big speech later in the day, or having to attend a high pressure event. Everyone has their own set of circumstances in life that cause this broadly labelled sensation of "anxiety" to occur. But whether it's hypnosis, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), or meditation, it's not going to be very effective if you try to apply a general solution to a specific problem.

How Does Hypnothera Help with Personalization?

I am working on making this more and more powerful but the first version is like so:

1) Type out what you're feeling. Like you're writing in a journal of anonymously posting on Reddit or Twitter (X) about your problems.

2) Click "Generate Script"

3) Proofread the script. Make edits as you see fit.

4) Pick the voice you like and click "Generate Audio"

5) Give it a few minutes, usually less than 30 minutes.

6) There you go! You have a personalized hypnosis session that addresses your specific needs, with the voice you like most.

Affordability

Inflation has been tough on many people these past 4-5 years. The last thing you need is to spend hundreds of dollars on your own mental health. Your mental health should be affordable to take care of.

Even traditional therapy services like BetterHelp are really quite expensive. One of the biggest stressors in modern life is literally the question of whether one can pay their bills, put aside savings, and still have enough money to enjoy their lives. To then ask someone like that to spend another huge chunk of their limited income on just not feeling like utter crap is hypocritical.

Conclusion

The future of hypnotherapy isn't in expensive one-on-one sessions or generic pre-recorded tracks – it's in accessible, personalized solutions that work with your schedule and budget. Hypnothera bridges this gap by offering customized hypnotherapy sessions at a fraction of the traditional cost.

Whether you're dealing with specific anxiety symptoms, facing particular fears, or working through personal challenges, having a hypnosis recording that speaks directly to your experience can make all the difference. The ability to detail your exact situation, generate a tailored script, and choose your preferred voice puts the power of personalized hypnotherapy right at your fingertips.

Mental health support shouldn't be a luxury. By making personalized hypnotherapy accessible and affordable, Hypnothera is helping to democratize mental wellness tools for everyone who needs them. After all, your journey to better mental health should work with your life – not drain your bank account.
