Behind them: 1,215 single sessions, 57 packs, 23 Journeys and 9 ten-step courses, a wall you would have to climb on your own. This page is the map: twelve groups, and a short rule for working out which one is yours.
Sixty-seven sessions, sorted twelve ways

How do you use this page?
Twelve groups, one rule: sort by what the problem does, not by what it is called. If the fear has a name you can say out loud — flying, needles, the dentist, spiders — it sits in fears and phobias. If it turns up without a trigger you can point at, and the subject keeps changing, it sits in anxiety. If the trouble is the night itself rather than what you happen to be thinking about in it, it sits in sleep. If it only turns up when you are being watched or assessed — a stage, an interview, an exam, a meeting — start at confidence. If it is an hour, a room and something you had already decided against, that is eating habits. Nicotine has its own group, with a free phone number above every button. And if the trouble is your temper, that is anger, the one group where a question about who else lives in your house comes before anything in it is for sale. If the pain has a person attached — a breakup, someone who never felt the same way, a jealous jolt, a name you keep checking — that is relationships. If your hands or teeth get there before you have decided anything, that is bad habits, where the free method with the trials behind it comes before anything for sale. If the trouble is one person — a boss, a relative, a friend who never quite says it — that is difficult people, where a question about whether it is really abuse comes first. If you know exactly what needs doing and cannot make yourself start, that is procrastination and motivation. And if someone has died, or an animal you loved, that is grief, the quietest group on the site.
If two groups both look like yours, take the one that has cost you the most this month. Sixty-six of the sixty-seven below are US$18.95, about A$27, one payment, with ninety days to get it back; the sixty-seventh is a ten-session course at US$175.00. Nothing here is a subscription and nothing here needs an app.
| If this is what you would say about it… | Your group | The wrong door |
|---|---|---|
| It has been growing for months, or you have already handed it territory — a road, a shop, an appointment you needed | A GP appointment, before anything else | Nothing in the twelve groups below is a substitute for that, and a purchase here tends to delay it |
| The fear has a name, and you can name the thing that sets it off | Fears and phobias | Wrong door if the surges arrive with no subject attached to them |
| It arrives without a trigger, and what you are worried about keeps changing | Anxiety | Wrong door if it only ever happens within sight of one particular thing |
| The problem is the night: getting under, staying under, or going up at all | Sleep | Wrong door if the worry keeps office hours as well and the night is only where it gets loudest |
| It only turns up when you are watched or assessed: a stage, an interview, an exam, a meeting | Confidence and performance | Wrong door if the same dread meets you in a shop or on the phone, where nobody is assessing anything |
| Something you had already decided against, at the same hour most days | Eating habits | Wrong door if the eating is out of control rather than unwanted: that is Butterfly, 1800 33 4673, and a GP |
| A vape, a cigarette, or a craving answered before you decide | Vaping and nicotine | Wrong door before Quitline, 13 7848, free and better evidenced than anything in that group |
| The temper goes off faster than you do — at home, at the wheel, or over a delay that does not matter | Anger and irritability | Wrong door if anyone at home is frightened of you: that is the Men’s Referral Service, 1300 766 491, and no recording is a family violence response |
| The pain has a person attached: a breakup, someone who never loved you back, jealousy, or a name you cannot stop checking | Relationships and heartbreak | Wrong door if someone frightens, controls or hurts you: that is 1800RESPECT, 1800 737 732, and no recording is a response to it |
| Your nails, lips, cheeks or skin, and your hand gets there before you decide | Bad habits | Wrong door if it is leaving wounds, scars or bald patches, or eating hours of your day: that is a GP and a psychologist who uses habit reversal |
| One person makes everything harder: a boss, a relative, a friend who never quite says what they mean | Difficult people | Wrong door if it is a partner, ex or family member who frightens, controls or hurts you: that is 1800RESPECT, 1800 737 732, and no recording is a response to it |
| You know exactly what needs doing, and you still cannot make yourself start | Procrastination and motivation | Wrong door if low mood, loss of interest or tiredness has lasted two weeks or more: that is a GP first |
| Someone has died, or an animal you loved, and the days feel different now | Grief and loss | Wrong door if you have thoughts of not wanting to be here: that is Lifeline, 13 11 14, open now |
Every session on this site
Each one links to its own page here as well as to a basket, because the page is the part that is mine: what the session works on, what it will not do, who should not buy it, and what you can practise for nothing first. The button underneath is the publisher’s checkout, for anyone who has read the page. Roger Elliott narrates fifty-seven of them and Mark Tyrrell nine — claustrophobia, the dentist, spiders, stage fright, road rage, jealousy, lip biting, bullying at work and the death of a partner; the ten-step smoking course names no narrator I can verify. The times are the real running times. The two five-session packs are US$59.95 and stay on the hub pages, where there is room to say who they are wasted on.
Fear with a name attached — ten sessions
The publisher lists eighty-nine titles under fears and phobias. These ten are the ones I would put my name next to, and the fears and phobias hub explains what happened to the other seventy-nine.
Overcome Fear of Flying
Suits you if the two weeks before departure cost you more than the two hours in the air do.
Cure Fear of Needles
For the blood test you keep rescheduling — and it is the one fear here where fainting, not panic, is the thing to plan for.
Overcome Fear of Driving
For one stretch of road rather than for driving in general: the on-ramp, the bridge, the tunnel, the route you no longer take.
Overcoming Claustrophobia
For lifts, scanners and anywhere your attention goes straight to where the exit is.
Fear of Vomiting
For a fear that has quietly rearranged what you eat and where you sit, which is rarely about being sick at all.
Overcome Fear of the Dentist
The shortest of the phobia sessions, for an appointment that has got harder every year you have left it.
Overcome Fear of Heights
For balconies, bridges and glass lifts, once ordinary wariness has turned into a route you plan around.
Spider Phobia Cure
For the jump that has already happened before you have worked out what you were looking at.
Stop Panic Attacks
For the fear of the next one, which is the part that reorganises a life; the attack itself ends without help.
Overcoming Agoraphobia
For a map of where you will go that has been shrinking, usually because of panic rather than because of places.
Anxiety with no particular subject — five sessions
Thirty-four titles in the catalogue, five here, sorted by how the anxiety behaves rather than by what it is called. If yours arrives in surges and you are certain it is your heart, start with Stop Panic Attacks instead — it is filed under phobias and it is the bridge between the two groups.
Generalized Anxiety Treatment
For worry that changes subject every week while your jaw and shoulders never get the message.
Anticipatory Anxiety
For dread with a date on it, where the fortnight beforehand takes the evenings and the sleep.
Overcome Shyness and Social Anxiety
For rehearsing the conversation beforehand and running the post-mortem on the way home afterwards.
Overcome Hypochondria (Fear of Illness)
For the checking and the searching that start up again a week after a normal result.
Stop Worrying
For the person who would not call themselves anxious and still half-believes the worrying is doing a job.
The night itself — eight sessions
Sixty titles between the publisher’s sleep and relaxation shelves, eight here, sorted by which part of the night fails. Before any of them: if you snore, gasp or wake unrefreshed after a full night in bed, that is a GP and a sleep study, and nothing in this group applies until it is settled.
Fall Asleep Fast
For an hour of turning over at the front of the night, before anything has gone wrong with the rest of it.
Go Back To Sleep
For the two hours after you surface at two rather than for the surfacing, which everybody does.
Night Worry
For a head that starts composing once the light is off; there is a free preview on that page, so you can hear the voice before you spend anything.
Cure Insomnia
For months of bad nights and the dread that has attached itself to your own bedroom — alongside CBT-I, never instead of it.
Get to Bed Early
The shortest session on the site, for the evening where going up to bed quietly stops being a decision.
Stop Recurring Nightmares
For the dread of going up, not for the dream itself, which the free rewriting technique on that page handles better.
Sleeping Pill Addiction
For the certainty that a night cannot be got through without the tablet; it will not taper you, and only your prescriber can.
Body Scan Relaxation Technique
The longest one here, and an evening session rather than a pillow one — it will not touch insomnia.
Being watched or assessed — eight sessions
Forty-five titles sit between the publisher’s self-confidence and self-esteem shelves, and only two of these eight came from either — the rest are filed under job skills, communication skills, the phobias and the anxiety titles. Sorted here by where the fear shows up, because confidence is the least useful word in this part of the catalogue. One gate before any of them, and the confidence hub spends a section on it: performance nerves stop at the edge of the performance. If the same dread meets you in a shop or on the phone, where nobody is assessing anything, start at social anxiety instead.
Public Speaking Confidence
For a fear confined to being watched while you speak; there is no preview on this one, so the ninety days is what carries it.
Long Term Presentation Anxiety
For the three weeks in front of one dated talk rather than for the twenty minutes of the talk itself.
Beat Interview Anxiety
For someone already preparing properly, whose nerves are what is left over once the answers are written.
Overcoming Exam Nerves
For the dread that arrives with the timetable, not for the chapters that were never learned, which nothing here reaches.
Stage Fright
For a performer whose material is ready and whose trouble starts in the wings; it is the fourth of the Mark Tyrrell recordings.
Assertiveness Training
The longest of these eight, for the person who knows the words and freezes in the second before saying them.
Overcome Imposter Syndrome
For someone whose record is good and whose account of it is not — a label rather than a diagnosis, and that page says so first.
Self Esteem Booster
For a difficulty that will not narrow to one room or one date, which makes it the last of these to try rather than the first.
Eating with an hour and a trigger — six sessions
The publisher files these under weight loss. They are not filed that way here, and none of them promises anything about anybody’s weight: the only randomised, placebo-controlled trial of a hypnosis recording used alone found no weight effect. So the six are sorted by behaviour instead: when the eating happens, what sets it off, what stops it. The eating hub carries the trial, and the screening question that comes first.
Stop Emotional Eating
For the stretch between a bad day and the kitchen bench; that page says first that emotional eating is not a diagnosis.
Stop Boredom Eating
For the pantry at four when you were not hungry on the way there: a cue, not a feeling. The longest of the six, with a free sample.
Stop Night Eating
For an evening you are awake through and remember afterwards. Eating you cannot recall is a GP, not this.
Portion Control
For the moment you had had enough and went past it. The shortest of the six, and it says nothing about what is on the plate.
Control Hunger
For how loud the pull gets and how automatic answering it is. Cravings get quieter rather than rarer, and that page says so.
Sweet Tooth
For the walk to the cupboard after the plate is cleared; that page declines to call it an addiction.
Nicotine, whichever way you take it — three pages
Quitline is 13 7848, it is free, and it has more behind it than all three together: 104 trials and 111,653 participants for telephone counselling, at moderate certainty, against fourteen trials and 1,926 participants for hypnotherapy done by a person in a room, at low to very low — and no trial at all of a recording. That number goes above the button on every page in this group, so it goes above them here. Two of the three are US$18.95. The third is not.
Quit Vaping
For a quit date already in the diary, when the device is the problem. The longer of the two, and hypnosis for vaping has never been trialled.
Nicotine Addiction Treatment
For the craving rather than the device: it builds, tops out and goes within minutes. Free preview. “Treatment” is the publisher’s word, not a claim made here.
10 Steps to Become a Non Smoker
Ten recordings worked through in order, for someone who has already rung Quitline and seen a GP. No preview, and no running time I can verify.
Anger, and where the temper goes — six sessions
Every page in this group opens with a question rather than a phone number, so this one does too. Is anyone in your house frightened of you? If yes, or you cannot be certain it is no, none of these six is the right thing: two Australian governments have ruled that stand-alone anger management is not a family violence intervention. Men’s Referral Service 1300 766 491, MensLine 1300 78 99 78, 1800RESPECT 1800 737 732 if you are the one who is frightened, 13YARN 13 92 76, 000 in danger. No trial of hypnosis for anger exists anywhere, and the anger hub says so above the offer rather than under it.
Anger Management
The general one, for the jump from nothing to shouting at home, then awake at one going back over it. No preview.
Stop Being Irritable
For a low hum most days rather than three flares a year, and only after a doctor has looked: irritability is a symptom of a long list of other things.
Forgive and Move On
For the grievance still being argued at two in the morning with nobody there. It excuses nothing.
Be More Patient
For delays rather than wrongs: the queue, the kettle, the third “in a minute”. The only one here with a free preview.
Stop Arguing
For one person and the same argument on rotation. It reaches your half of it only.
Overcome Road Rage
For a temper that only shows up at the wheel. The shortest in this group, and the fifth of the Mark Tyrrell recordings.
Heartbreak, and the person it is attached to — six sessions
Each page pairs free steps from the breakup research with a guided session for relaxing and practising them. If someone frightens, controls or hurts you, start with 1800RESPECT, 1800 737 732. The relationships hub also carries four sessions for breakups, divorce and being ghosted.
Unrequited Love
For loving someone who has made it clear, or never quite said, that they don’t feel the same. Free preview on its page.
Get Over a Crush
The shorter, sharper version: someone you still see most weeks and have never been with. No preview.
Overcoming Jealousy
For your own anxious, checking jealousy. Not for a partner’s controlling jealousy, which is a 1800RESPECT call. Free preview.
Fear Of Abandonment
For the dread that a late reply means they are leaving. The page explains when a GP is the better first step. No preview.
Overcome Rejection Sensitivity
For a flat reply that takes the whole evening. A trait researchers study, not a diagnosis. Free preview.
Stop Thinking About Someone
For a name that keeps arriving, and the checking that keeps it fresh. No preview.
Hands and teeth that get there first — four sessions
Every page in this group teaches habit reversal, the free method with the most research behind it, and each session gives you a calm, repeatable time to practise it. If a habit is leaving wounds, scars or bald patches, start with a GP. Two more sessions sit on the bad habits hub.
Stop Nail Biting
For biting that happens before you notice: on the couch, in the car, in front of a screen. No preview.
Skin Picking
For everyday picking that leaves small marks rather than wounds; its page explains when a GP comes first. No preview.
Lip Biting
For chewing a lip you only notice afterwards, once a dentist has ruled out a sharp edge. No preview.
Stop Cheek Biting
For the same spot inside the cheek, once a dentist has checked your teeth and bite. Free preview.
One person who makes everything harder — three sessions
Each page sorts the person first, then pairs free steps with a guided session for relaxing and rehearsing them. If a partner, ex or family member frightens, controls or hurts you, start with 1800RESPECT, 1800 737 732; nothing in this group is sold for that. The difficult people hub also carries six sessions, for verbal self-defence, critics, bullies, control, gaslighting and guilt trips.
Dealing with the Narcissist
For a relative or colleague who turns every conversation back to themselves. A partner who controls you is a 1800RESPECT call. Free preview.
Cope with Bullying
For the evenings when work follows you home, alongside the record and the report; its page covers where to take it. No preview.
The Passive Aggressive
For the loud dishes and the “fine” with a full stop, and a calm, direct way to answer them. Free preview.
Knowing what to do and not starting — five sessions
Each page starts from the research on why people put things off, which has little to do with laziness, and pairs its free steps with a guided session for rehearsing them. If low mood, loss of interest or tiredness has lasted two weeks or more, see a GP first. The procrastination hub also carries six sessions, for putting things off in general, perfectionism, overthinking, overwhelm and focus.
Overcome Task Paralysis
For freezing in front of a pile of jobs. Task paralysis is not a diagnosis, and its page explains when a GP comes first. No preview.
Stop Being Lazy
For knowing exactly what needs doing and watching the afternoon go anyway. It is rarely laziness. Free preview.
Stop Self Sabotage
For the excuse you arrange before you start, which researchers call self-handicapping. No preview.
Self Motivation Booster
For the plan made on Sunday and the reason to start that goes missing on Monday. If the spark has gone from everything, see a GP. No preview.
Self Discipline
For rehearsing tomorrow’s plan before the moment arrives, rather than leaning on willpower. No preview.
Grief after a death — three sessions
Each page offers its recording as a guided rest, a quiet break in the day, not as a treatment or a timetable. If you have thoughts of not wanting to be here, ring Lifeline, 13 11 14. The grief hub also carries four sessions, including one for losing a friend and one for the days around a funeral, and anticipatory grief is for grieving someone who is still here.
Death of a Pet
For a quiet, regular rest after a pet dies, when the people around you may not quite count it as grief. Free preview.
Dealing with the Death of a Parent
For the evenings after a mum or dad has died, when you need a quiet time that asks nothing of you. Free preview.
Death Of A Partner
A quiet, regular break in the day after a partner has died; its page explains why to see your GP in the first months. No preview.
What is deliberately not on this list?
Almost all of it, and for two different reasons. Most of the catalogue is simply unbuilt — categories I have not reached, which is a scheduling fact and not a judgement. A short list is different. Those titles will never appear on this site at all, and an index that only tells you what it sells is an advertisement with a table of contents.
Quitting smoking and weight loss used to sit in this paragraph as promises. They are built now, and what made them buildable was giving up the outcome. The eating pages are about the behaviour rather than the body, because the only randomised trial of an audio hypnosis file found no weight effect: a page named for an hour and a trigger survives that result, and a page named for a number does not. The smoking page puts the Cochrane conclusion above the offer rather than under it — fourteen studies, 1,926 participants, insufficient evidence, a benefit small at most if it is there — with Quitline on 13 7848 above the button.
The clearest case is the newest. The Weight Management 5-Pack is US$59.95 and the publisher’s best seller in that category, and it is not linked anywhere here, because four of its five sessions sell an outcome the evidence does not support. The eating hub explains it in full.
Children are a different problem again. There are sixty-three titles for children and parents in the catalogue, and every one of them means an adult buying on a child’s behalf, which needs a gate I would have to build page by page. A few may earn one. Most will not be built.
And four things will not be sold here in any form. Sessions for cocaine and heroin, because dependence of that kind needs a person and a plan and a phone number, not a download. The anorexia and bulimia titles, because a named illness with specialist services behind it should not have a US$18.95 audio standing in front of it. The session for the death of a child, because there is no honest way to put a buy button under that. And the two bedwetting titles, because that is a conversation about a child’s body and it belongs with a GP.
Losing most of those sales costs me very little. Listing them would cost the only thing this site has.
What is coming next?
I do not know yet, and saying so beats inventing a roadmap.
What I can tell you is how it gets decided. The catalogue is enormous — 1,309 titles for sale — and most of it has no Australian search demand worth a page. Building all of it would be a spam signal however honestly each page was written. So two things decide it: whether anyone here is actually looking, and whether the category can be written honestly at all.
Both have changed plans already. Parenting went on the first: ten searches a month in Australia, and no amount of care makes a page worth writing for ten people. Smoking survived the second and shrank because of it. The plan was a cluster; what got built was one page, because the honest version is short.
Anger is the closest the second test has come to stopping something. The searches were there; what nearly stopped it is that eight of the nine Australian anger providers I read never mention family violence, and not one gives a reader a number to ring. It got built on the condition that the question and the numbers sit above the offer on all seven of its pages.
Relationships and bad habits passed both tests in September 2026. People here search for the problem in their own words — unrequited love, jealousy, how to stop biting nails — far more than for hypnosis, and both could be written honestly: free steps first, a recording to practise them with, and the research stated plainly further down each page. Alcohol and gambling were written as plain answers to “does hypnosis work for this?” rather than as groups, with the free helpline above every button. Difficult people, procrastination and grief followed later that month on the same terms, with grief written more quietly than the rest.
Who should not buy any of this?
Anyone whose problem is still growing. A recording is preparation, and preparation is the wrong tool for something that is taking ground off you week by week — or for something you are drinking to keep quiet. Your GP is the door to a mental health plan and the Medicare rebate that goes with it. That appointment is worth more than anything I stock, and twenty-seven dollars spent here tends to push it back by months.

I recorded none of these and I sell none of them. The test a title has to pass before it gets a page is one sentence long: can I name the person it suits and the person it doesn’t? Most cannot. More →
If you are not sure which group is yours, read the table again and pick the row you would say out loud to a friend. The wrong page costs you a click. The wrong purchase costs you twenty-seven dollars and a fortnight of thinking you have dealt with it.
These are self-help audio sessions, not medical treatment, a diagnosis, or a substitute for professional care. Nothing here replaces advice from your doctor or a qualified therapist. Fear that is worsening, panic that arrives without warning, sleep that has not been right for months, and any new physical symptom all belong with a GP first. Do not stop or alter a prescribed medicine because of anything on this site. Nothing in the anger group is a family violence intervention: if anyone is frightened of you, ring the Men’s Referral Service on 1300 766 491. Nothing in the relationships or difficult-people groups is a response to a controlling or violent relationship: ring 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732. If you are in immediate danger, call 000. Never listen at the wheel.
