Guided hypnosis programs for anger, frustration and a steadier temper, narrated by Rachael Meddows, certified hypnotherapist. With a free guide by Joel Thielke, certified clinical hypnotherapist. Anger shows up in the body before it shows up in words: a hot face, a tight jaw, a faster voice. The programs in Anger Management HypnoCalm use guided hypnosis and mindfulness to help you notice the heat early, create a pause before you react, and answer with a calm, steady voice instead of a temper. BE IN THE MOMENT IS INCLUDED Hear Rachael's voice before you buy anything. Be in the Moment is the program version of the guide's first exercise: the pause between what happens and how you answer. THE ANGER & CALM SHELF Control Anger (the title program), No More Frustration, Be Patient, Create Inner Peace, Stress Relief, Live In The Now, Help for Impulse Control, Be a Patient Parent, Say No Without Guilt, Stop Self-Criticism, Negativity Shield, Rise Above Negativity, Peace & Pure Meditation, Incredible Relaxation and more. Every program is a one-time purchase, or all of them come with Unlock All. 94 PROGRAMS IN ALL Love & Relationships, Confidence, Success & Money, Weight & Body, Health & Healing, Mind & Focus, Spiritual, Sleep & Calm, and Anxiety & Stress, all guided by Rachael Meddows. SUBLIMINAL AFFIRMATIONS Four new subliminal affirmations Calm Mind Subliminal Affirmations, large Tibetan bowls over a warm, low drone, for cooling a hot mind; Letting Go Subliminal Affirmations, a low cello-like drone with warm pads and resonant bowls, for setting resentment down; Clear Head Subliminal Affirmations, crisp glassy tones and crystal-bowl overtones, for thinking straight after a flare-up; and Inner Balance Subliminal Affirmations, crystal bowls ringing in turn over a low drone, for finding your even keel. Play one after a program, or let it repeat. YOUR WAY IN, YOUR WAY OUT Six inductions: Short, Long and Sleep, plus the Classic Beach, Speed and Staircase. Choose the Wake ending to come back alert, the Sleep ending to drift off with no wake-up, None to stop after the program, or Delay for five quiet minutes first. Repeat plays a program again and again; the sleep timer fades it out. SOUND MIXER Rain, waves, a brook, a campfire, wind, snow, chimes, tones and more. One sound is included; the Sound Mixer layers up to six, with presets and per-sound levels, and comes with Unlock All or on its own. THE FREE GUIDE: THE PAUSE Four exercises from Joel Thielke's practice, a 21-day plan that uses the app's programs, a contract with yourself and a daily journal. Ask for it from the app and it arrives by email. UNLOCK ALL Every program, the Subliminal Affirmations and the Sound Mixer in one purchase, plus everything we add to this app, now and later. One payment, no subscription, available through Family Sharing. IF YOU HAD THE APP BEFORE Control Anger is still yours, and so is everything you bought: tap Restore Purchases in Settings. You start on the original Speed induction, and the Classic inductions are under Induction, Classic. Hypnosis and this app are tools for relaxation and for building a calmer habit, not a substitute for medical or psychological care. Never listen while driving.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Anger Management HypnoCalm at free with in-app purchases against Work Motivation's subscription. Anger Management HypnoCalm also leads on ratings volume (80 vs 1). Work Motivation's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 9 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
