End Self-Sabotage Hypnosis offers 98 guided hypnosis programs by Joel Thielke, C.Ht., for procrastination, self-doubt, confidence and the habits that hold you back. START WITH STOP SELF-CRITICISM Stop Self-Criticism, a gentle session on noticing the critical voice in your head and answering it with forgiveness, is included with the app: play it in full, with no purchase and no subscription. It is built into the app, so it plays without a connection. Then continue with End Sabotage, Joel's core program on noticing where you get in your own way, which also plays offline. BREAK FREE FIRST The library opens on Break Free: fifteen programs including End Sabotage, Get Out Of Your Way, Stop Procrastinating, Stop Being A Victim, Let Go Of The Past and The Power of Saying No. Six more shelves cover confidence and esteem, motivation and focus, calm and relief, relationships, health and habits, and inner growth. Search by everyday words, such as "putting things off" or "self-doubt". SHAPE EACH SESSION Choose a program, then one of six inductions, classic and new: the original Short, Long and Sleep, plus Beach (a calm walk along the shore), Speed (a fast way in) and Staircase (counting down step by step). Then pick an ending: Wake, Sleep, None or Delay. Line programs up in a playlist, repeat them for as long as you like, and set a sleep timer. Playback continues with the screen locked, with lock-screen controls. On iPhone Duo the app fits both the outer and the inner display, and Nightstand mode turns the player into a calm bedside view when you stand the phone half-open. Other programs stream the first time and are kept on your device after that. A SOUND BENEATH THE VOICE One background sound is included with every session. The separately purchased Sound Mixer layers up to four of 15 sounds, such as rain, ocean, campfire and wind, with your own levels and saved mixes. ONE-TIME PURCHASES Buy single programs, including End Sabotage, or unlock every program with one payment. Unlock All covers the program library and is available through Family Sharing; the Sound Mixer is sold separately. Every purchase is one-time and restorable. There is no subscription. If you had the app before version 4.1, End Sabotage stays yours. Programs you bought before are still yours: tap Restore Purchases in Settings.

End Self's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 61%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
