  • Unlearn Your Fear: Hypnosis for Overthinking & Decisions

    Tired of weighing a choice from every angle and still feeling stuck?

    Decision paralysis happens when you load a simple choice with borrowed weight—past regrets, fear of making mistakes, and what other people might think.

    This 20-minute guided hypnosis track helps your unconscious mind release the unnecessary noise and distinguish between fact and fear. Sit back, allow your body to settle, and let your mind return to a natural state of clarity.

    Key Focus Areas:• Releasing analysis paralysis and mental fatigue• Letting go of the need for perfect decisions• Grounding your mind with a clear internal prompt: Is this fact or is this fear?

  • Safe to Be Seen & Heard | Deep Sleep Hypnosis for Inner Child Healing

    Allow yourself to drift into a deep, restorative sleep while gently rewiring old childhood survival patterns.


    Do you find yourself shrinking back when attention turns toward you, staying quiet in rooms where your voice is welcome, or holding tension in your throat and chest when it’s time to speak up? For many of us, the feeling that it isn't "safe to be seen or heard" isn't a lack of confidence. It is an intelligent survival response built by a younger nervous system to keep you safe.


    This deep sleep hypnosis session guides you through a gentle process of self-forgiveness and somatic release, honoring the younger part of you that stood guard, without forcing you to "step into the spotlight." As you drift off, your unconscious mind continues the work of letting your body know that it is safe to be present, safe to be heard, and safe to exist as you are.


    Designed with a peaceful sleep ending, there is no re-emergence count at the end of this session. You can simply allow yourself to drop off into a full, undisturbed night's rest.


    In this session, you will:

    • Reframe hiding and shrinking as an intelligent past survival response

    • Offer deep self-forgiveness to the younger self who carried the weight of staying hidden

    • Release somatic tension in the throat, chest, and body as you drift off

    • Calibrate your feeling of safety around being seen and heard at your own pace

    • Support deep nervous system regulation and restful sleep


    Best listened to with headphones as you settle into bed for the night. Do not listen while driving or operating machinery.

  • Safe to Be Seen and Heard | Hypnosis for Childhood Survival Patterns

    Do you find yourself shrinking back when attention turns toward you, staying quiet in rooms where your voice is welcome, or feeling a wave of tension in your throat or chest when it’s time to speak up?


    For many of us, the feeling that it isn't "safe to be seen or heard" isn't a lack of confidence. It is a deeply ingrained childhood survival response. When you were younger, staying quiet or becoming almost invisible was an act of intelligence. It was how your young nervous system kept you safe.


    This somatic hypnosis session helps you release the need to stay small without force or pressure. Instead of asking you to "step into the spotlight," this recording guides you through a gentle process of self-forgiveness, honoring the younger part of you that stood guard, and letting your body know that it is safe to be present now.


    In this session, you will:

    • Reframe hiding as an intelligent past survival strategy

    • Offer deep self-forgiveness to the younger self who carried the weight of staying hidden

    • Gently release somatic tension in the throat, chest, and body

    • Titrate your comfort level with visibility and using your voice at your own pace

    • Settle into true nervous system safety


    Best listened to with headphones in a quiet, comfortable space where you can fully relax. Do not listen while driving or operating machinery.

  • Sleep Hypnosis to Stop Emotional Eating & Night Cravings

    Sleep Hypnosis to Stop Emotional Eating & Night Cravings

    Welcome to tonight’s session. In this guided sleep hypnosis, we focus on breaking the automatic cycle of stress eating, late-night snacking, and sudden food urges while you drift into a deep, uninterrupted rest.

    During the day, stress, fatigue, or unexpressed emotions can often broadcast a form of internal "static" that feels remarkably like physical hunger. This session helps your deeper mind establish a quiet, automatic pause between the signal and the action. By learning to distinguish between true hunger and emotional static, you allow yourself the space to choose a healthier response effortlessly.

    What to expect in this episode:

    • Gentle progressive relaxation to prepare your mind and body for sleep

    • Guidance on identifying emotional static versus true physical hunger

    • Visualization tools to open up new, supportive choices when cravings arise

    • A continuous transition into full, overnight sleep

    How to listen:

    Settle into a comfortable position in bed where you can lie back undisturbed for the night. There is no need to try to stay focused, analyze the words, or remember anything. Simply allow your body to relax and let your mind drift off whenever it is ready.

    Note: Please ensure you are in a safe, comfortable environment and never listen to hypnosis tracks while driving or operating machinery.

  • Stop Emotional Eating Hypnosis: Break Stress Cravings & Night Snacking

    Do you ever find yourself reaching for food when you aren't actually hungry, but feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or physically exhausted?

    In this guided hypnotherapy session, we take a deep dive into subconscious reconditioning to help you break the automatic habit loop of emotional eating and late-night kitchen grazing. Rather than relying on willpower or restrictive diets, this recording works directly with your unconscious mind to install an effortless pause between experiencing a craving and taking action.

    • Hunger vs. "Static": How to easily distinguish between true physical hunger (which builds slowly in the belly) and "nervous system static" (the sudden, urgent impulse caused by stress or fatigue).

    • The Internal Dial: An automatic mental check-in to instantly break the old habit circuit before you move toward the kitchen.

    • The Multi-Door Mental Pantry: Expanding your subconscious options so food remains an option, but no longer the only option when you need comfort or relief.

    • Subconscious Integration: Guided suggestions and progressive relaxation to help your nervous system reset and anchor these new pathways naturally.

    Whether you listen during the day to clear your mind or lie back in bed at night to drift off into deep sleep, this session offers a compassionate, practical tool to help you restore a calm and balanced relationship with food.

  • Hypervigilance at Bedtime: Sleep Hypnosis to Calm High Alert

    If your mind tends to go on high alert the moment your head hits the pillow, telling yourself to "just go to sleep" rarely works. When you live with hypervigilance, your internal threat system can view the dark, quiet night as a time to stay extra watchful, making it feel unsafe to drop your guard.

    This guided sleep hypnosis session works with that protective part of your mind rather than fighting against it. Through the metaphor of the tower keeper handing over the watch to a steady, calm presence, you will give your nervous system permission to step down from night-time alert, allowing you to drift naturally into deep, restorative sleep.

    Read the deep-dive article on hypervigilance and nervous system regulation:https://markstubbles.com/vigilant

    • A gentle, trauma-informed way to give your body permission to rest at night.

    • A structured visual metaphor to relieve the internal watcher without leaving you feeling vulnerable.

    • A transition from constant threat-scanning into deep physical softening and ease.

    • A space for your unconscious mind to recognize true safety at bedtime.

    Listen in bed with headphones or through a speaker at a comfortable volume as you settle down for the night. Allow yourself to simply drift off whenever your body is ready.

    Safety Note: Please never listen to guided hypnosis while driving or operating machinery.

  • Hypnosis for Hypervigilance & Anxiety: Handing Over the Watch

    If you live with hypervigilance, telling yourself to "just relax" rarely works. When your threat detection system is stuck on high alert, a part of your mind genuinely believes that dropping your guard is dangerous.

    In this guided hypnosis session, we work with that protective response rather than fighting against it. Through the metaphor of the tower keeper, you will learn how to safely hand over the watch, moving away from constant, exhausting scanning and shifting into a state of calm, efficient awareness.

    • A gentle way to give your nervous system permission to step down from survival mode.

    • A simple anchoring phrase to signal safety when your body triggers a false alarm.

    • Post-hypnotic suggestions that help your unconscious mind carry this steadiness into your everyday life.

    Find a quiet, comfortable space where you can sit or lie down without interruption. Headphones are recommended for the best experience.

    Safety Note: Please never listen to guided hypnosis while driving or operating machinery.

  • The Garden: Hypnosis for Recovering From Gaslighting

    If you have lived through gaslighting, whether from a partner, a parent, or a narcissistic dynamic, you likely know what it feels like to doubt your own memory, your own instincts, even your own eyes.

    In this session, a guided garden visualization walks your unconscious mind back to the parts of yourself that were called into question, and helps you reconnect with what you already know to be true. No need to name or relive anything specific. Your unconscious mind already knows what it is looking at.

    This session brings you fully back to alertness by the end, so it is suitable to listen to any time of day, not just at bedtime.

    Safety First: Never listen to this recording while driving or operating machinery. Only listen when you can safely relax.

  • Reclaiming Your Reality: Healing from Gaslighting & Emotional Manipulation

    Have you ever left a conversation feeling completely confused, second-guessing your own memory, or wondering if you were somehow the problem? When someone else’s version of events is consistently placed over your own, it leaves a quiet, heavy fog that makes it hard to trust your own mind.

    In this peaceful sleep hypnosis session, we gently step away from the need to defend, explain, or replay old conversations. Through permissive, indirect suggestions and a peaceful inner garden visualization, this episode is designed to help your unconscious mind clear away the overgrowth of past manipulation.

    In this episode, you will:

    • Allow your body and nervous system to settle into deep, effortless rest.

    • Release the mental effort of trying to solve or fix past dynamics.

    • Reconnect with your own natural instincts, memory, and internal truth.

    • Internalize a quiet, protective reminder: volume was never the same thing as truth.

    There is nothing you need to try to do or force. Simply lie back, get comfortable, and let your deeper mind take whatever is most useful for you tonight.

  • Hypnosis for ADHD Time Blindness & Waiting Mode

    Do you feel like time is either completely absent or a sudden, panicked emergency? If you struggle with the frozen state of "waiting mode" paralysis before a task or appointment, this session is designed for you.

    In this session, we work directly with the subconscious mechanisms behind temporal discounting. By moving away from standard willpower and instead using a steady, mechanical clock metaphor, you will gently rebuild a felt sense of time passing safely and evenly. This recording includes a portable somatic anchor (using a specific breathing pattern and physical touch) that you can use anywhere to reset your internal rhythm in real time.

    Important Notes:

    • How to use: Listen while sitting or lying down in a comfortable place where you do not need to hold yourself up. Do not listen while driving or operating machinery.

    • Connect with me: If you recognize these automatic patterns in yourself, willpower alone isn't the answer. You can find more details on how I approach these subconscious response patterns at my website: markstubbles.com.
