Self-hypnosis sessions for sleep, stress and pain
Guided clinical self-hypnosis for sleep, stress, focus and pain, built on decades of research from Stanford's David Spiegel. Sessions run around 10-15 minutes and are meant to be repeated rather than treated as one-offs. One of the few app-based interventions in this directory with a named clinical research lineage.
