Cope with Loss

Grief does not run to a timetable, and nobody gets to tell you how long yours should take. This downloadable hypnosis audio does not ask you to forget anybody, get over it, or pretend the loss was smaller than it was. It works on the weight you are carrying while you carry it.

Loss tends to take your sleep first, and then your ability to think straight, and then it starts telling you things about yourself that are not true. Under relaxation and gentle direct suggestion, this session helps you soften the sharpest edges, let the guilt and the what ifs loosen their grip, and let the memories become something you can visit rather than something that ambushes you. Most people say the first thing they get back is their sleep, and everything else gets easier once that returns.

How it works

It works in two halves. First the recording walks you down into hypnotic relaxation, which is nothing stranger than the drifting state you pass through every night on the way to sleep. Your body settles, your attention narrows, and the part of you that argues with everything gets quiet. Then come the direct suggestions, spoken plainly and repeated, aimed at the habit or the feeling you want changed. Repetition is the whole trick. A suggestion heard once is an idea. The same suggestion heard night after night starts to feel like the truth about you.

How to listen

• Headphones, somewhere quiet, somewhere safe. Sit back or lie down and let it play.
• Bedtime is the best slot. Start it as you settle down for the night.
• If you drift off, let it happen. It will not jolt you awake, and it keeps working while you sleep, so you get a proper night's rest and train your brain at the same time.
• Most people listen every night for two or three weeks, then whenever they want a top up.
• Never while driving, and never while operating machinery.

What you get

• An instant download. You pay, and it is yours in seconds.
• A high quality MP3 that plays on a phone, a tablet, a laptop, anything.
• It lives in your account for good, so you can download it again as often as you like, on any device, forever.
• No subscription, nothing to install, nothing to renew.

Please note

Grief can turn into depression, and that deserves real support. This is self help, not medical treatment. It is never a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or intervention, and it does not replace anything a doctor has told you to do. Hypnosis is not a magic wand either. It works when you want the change and you listen often. Results vary from one person to the next.
