Break Free from Phone Addiction: How Hypnotherapy Helps You Reclaim Time and Focus

A Scene You Might Recognise

Phone addiction hypnotherapy can help when your screen time feels out of control. It’s evening. You finally get a moment to sit down. You pick up your phone to check one thing… and before you realise it, 45 minutes have disappeared. You’ve been scrolling through social media, replying to messages, and flicking between apps, yet you feel restless, anxious, and oddly disconnected from the world around you.

Is It Just a Habit, or Something More?

While some phone use is perfectly normal, signs that your mobile habits may be impacting your wellbeing include:

• Feeling anxious when your phone isn’t nearby
• Impulsively checking it, even during conversations
• Difficulty relaxing without scrolling
• Fear of missing out if you’re offline
• Disrupted sleep from screen time
• Regret or guilt after using your phone too much

These behaviours often run on autopilot, driven by subconscious needs for comfort, stimulation, or escape.

According to the NHS, addiction can encompass behaviours like excessive phone use, impacting daily life and well-being. Excessive phone use can be a form of behavioural addiction, leading to significant impacts on daily functioning. Read more on the Nightingale Hospital London website.
