## What is Self?

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."

### 5/5 — B

*2025-02-17, version 1.20*

Great👍

### 1/5 — Problem

*2022-05-25, version 1.18*

App is unavailable- trying to open: it flashes up for a moment, then it disappears.

### 1/5 — Great app but now doesn't work

*2022-05-24, version 1.18*

Used to be good but immediately crashes on opening

### 5/5 — Thoroughly enjoyable

*2021-02-07, version 1.16*

I have tried quite a few hypnosis and meditation apps and  have to say I keep coming back to Patrick Browning.  Perhaps it is his voice, I don’t know.  I used this app daily for many months and now on and off over several years and found it very helpful.  I guess I was using it so often it was Patrick’s voice I was hearing as my own thoughts!  Yes perhaps the app is limited compared to others, but the sessions are very reasonably priced  and effective.  It’s also not rife with upselling and doesn’t try to cover every possible topic and I find it refreshing that there is no session on finances, money and abundance.

### 5/5 — A reassuring and comforting friend

*2020-11-30, version 1.16*

A wonderful warm and reassuring voice to help you quieten anxiety, relax an overactive mind and ease yourself into blissful relaxation. 
Having suffered from insomnia and anxious thoughts for years, I am now able to keep those worrisome and negative thoughts at bay and my sleep has improved enormously.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2019-10-18, version 1.9*

App quit working a few months ago. The seasons I bought are now worthless. Very poor sound recording. No service when trying to contact them.

### 3/5 — Poorly developed

*2019-01-24, version 1.9*

This app has no settings at all that the listener can control. The sound is so low it is impossible to follow his voice.  I found it absolutely useless.  I am going to try to get a refund.  I had the sound turned up as high as possible and even tried to use ear buds, but that did not help.

### 5/5 — No more nail-biting

*2017-07-26, version 1.9*

Having been a nail-biter for 37 years and tried various other ways to stop, I downloaded this app with only £2.99 or whatever to lose - and haven't bitten my nails since. Five months in now, my nails look amazing and I only had to listen to the session once! Going to try to kick the chocolate habit next...

### 5/5 — Impressive

*2017-02-14, version 1.9*

Update: The developers have issued a fix (very quickly too). App works well and the hypnosis sessions still get me deeply relaxed! 

Having tried hypnosis before without much success, I wasn't sure what to expect.

After listening to the 'learn self-hypnosis' freebie I was relaxed within minutes. So much so that I've bought a few of the paid ones. For me, they all leave me deeply relaxed. 

I can also now get myself very relaxed using the self hypnosis technique he suggests. For me, these sessions work and are well worth the money.

I've also had two 'lucid' dreams so far as a result of listening to the lucid dreams session. Great stuff!

### 5/5 — Helps us in troubled times

*2017-02-04, version 1.8*

We recently lost our dear son and Patrick's app has helped us to get to sleep and has reduced our anxiety. We started with the free self hypnosis download and then purchased Relax Into Sleep and Relax In Your Garden. 

Patrick has such a gentle, relaxing reassuring voice. Combined with the beautiful soft music, water sound effects and bird noises we soon drift off to sleep and feel refreshed for the first time in months since our loss thanks to his positive suggestions.

The downloads help us through the  stress of the day as we adjust to life without our son and have reduced anxiety levels.

Thank you Patrick.
