The UM App is $29.99 per month, which is less than $1 a day for complete access to guided hypnotherapy sessions, personalized journaling prompts, movement practices, and all the tools designed to support your 90-day transformation journey. Think of it as an investment in rediscovering your freedom of choice.
The UM App is for people who want to transform their relationship with alcohol without labels, pressure, or the need to be perfect. This journey might be calling to you if you're ready to take a break or drink less, but traditional approaches don't resonate. You're curious, self-aware, and drawn to personal growth. Your drinking habits feel outdated, like clothes you've outgrown. This isn't a recovery program, it's a mindset shift that honors your complexity and your freedom.
No. This goes far beyond willpower and temporary restriction. The UM App offers a 90-day journey that helps you rewire your relationship with alcohol from the inside out through hypnotherapy, reflective journaling, movement, and science-backed insights. Rather than focusing on external goals, it supports deep transformation by working with your unconscious patterns, beliefs, and emotional triggers so that change feels natural and lasting.
Most approaches treat alcohol as the problem. We see it differently. Alcohol isn't the problem, it's the solution you've been using to meet a deeper need or soothe something underneath. Instead of just managing the solution, the UM App helps you discover and heal what it was solving for. This creates real internal change by working with your unconscious mind rather than relying on willpower or external control.
Perfect. The UM App is designed for conscious choice, not all-or-nothing thinking. The goal isn't to eliminate alcohol from your life forever. It's to give you back your power of choice, to drink or not drink based on what truly serves you in each moment. After completing the first 30 days of the reset phase, you'll have the option to choose your path forward: continuing alcohol-free or exploring conscious moderation. Whether your goal is moderation, mindful drinking, or taking a break, the program meets you where you are and adapts to your intentions.
The UM App will be available on both the App Store and Google Play. You can download it from the App Store if you're using an iPhone or iPad, or from the Google Play Store if you're using an Android device. Just search "Unconscious Moderation" to get started.
Each hypnotherapy session in the UM App lasts between 12 to 20 minutes. They're designed to fit easily into your day while delivering deep, effective results. Based on Dr. Herbert Benson's relaxation response theory, these sessions activate your parasympathetic nervous system, naturally producing the same feel-good chemicals often sought through alcohol.
Yes, but this isn't what you see in the movies. You're not "under a spell" or losing control. Hypnotherapy feels calm and grounded. You're aware, in charge, and guided by your own values. It's simply about letting your mind become relaxed and open to positive change that aligns with who you truly are. In this relaxed state, your brain becomes more receptive to updating unconscious patterns while you remain fully conscious and in control of the experience.
Some people notice subtle shifts after just one or two sessions, like feeling calmer or making more conscious choices. By Week 2, you'll start recognizing the relaxation response and activating it naturally. The UM App is designed as a 90-day journey because real transformation takes time, but research shows it takes 21 to 30 days to start forming new neural pathways, so meaningful change builds gradually and becomes integrated into your life.
Daily listening is recommended to help rewire unconscious patterns and strengthen new neural pathways through neuroplasticity. Think of it as emotional hygiene for your nervous system. Your unconscious mind drives 95% of your behavior, but willpower only reaches your conscious mind. The hypnotherapy sessions in the UM App bridge this gap by updating unconscious patterns that drive cravings and habits. Consistency creates momentum, not perfection.
Yes. Each hypnotherapy session activates your parasympathetic nervous system (healing mode), which naturally lowers cortisol (stress hormone) and produces dopamine and serotonin, the same feel-good chemicals often sought through alcohol. The movement practices also burn off stress hormones and tell your nervous system "I'm safe, grounded, and capable of change." This makes it easier to handle emotional ups and downs naturally.
Yes. The UM App works on a deep level to update unconscious associations you have with alcohol. Through journaling, you'll start decoding the symbolic messages behind cravings (a drinking urge might actually signal a need for rest or connection). Over time, you'll start responding to triggers with more awareness and less urgency, making it easier to pause, reflect, and choose based on what truly serves you.
No. That's a common myth. During the hypnotherapy sessions in the UM App, you remain fully aware and in control. You can't be made to do or say anything against your will. The sessions are designed to support your goals, values, and inner wisdom, never to override them. It's about becoming so aligned with who you truly are that old patterns simply fall away.
The first month is your Total Reset phase, where you take a complete break from alcohol, not as punishment, but as a gift to yourself. Research shows it takes 21 to 30 days to start forming new neural pathways and rebalance brain chemistry. During this phase, the UM App guides you through weekly hypnotherapy sessions, daily journaling prompts, and gentle movement practices. You're creating space between impulse and choice, allowing you to hear yourself again and distinguish between genuine desires and habitual reflexes.
Not at all. The UM App is designed for complete beginners. Dr. John and Dr. Nada O'Brien have created sessions that guide you step by step, making hypnotherapy feel natural and accessible. The more you practice, the easier and more natural the relaxation response becomes.
First, breathe. This isn't about perfection, it's about awareness and growth. The UM App approach honors your humanity, not your ability to be flawless. A slip doesn't erase your progress or mean you've failed. Instead, it's valuable information about your unconscious patterns and triggers. Use the journaling prompts to explore what happened without judgment. Curiosity, not criticism, is what creates lasting transformation.
Traditional therapy often focuses on understanding problems through talking and analysis. The UM App works directly with your unconscious mind through hypnotherapy, where 95% of your behavior is actually driven. Instead of just talking about change, you're actively rewiring the neural pathways that create your habits. It's also designed specifically for your relationship with alcohol, combining the expertise of Jungian analysts Dr. John and Dr. Nada O'Brien with practical daily tools. This isn't therapy, it's transformation through gentle, science-backed practices you can do anywhere.
