Digital Reset Program
Take Back control of your attention and time!
Right now it takes effort to stay off your phone. After this, it won’t.
The Problem
We've all been there...
Nobody decides to make their phone the center of their day. It just… happens.
What starts as a quick break, a little entertainment, or a way to stay connected became automatic.
Like breathing, your hand finds the phone without you even noticing. One quick check turns into 30 minutes. Then an hour. Then the day feels scattered, and you’re wondering where your focus went.
You have plenty of willpower in other areas of your life. But... if willpower actually mattered, you'd have already broken free.
You're not weak. You're not undisciplined. You’ve been playing against an algorithm designed to pull you back in—again and again—until picking up your device is the default.
No thinking. No friction. Just reach, unlock, scroll.
And the fallout is familiar:
- Time slips: “I’ll just check one thing” → there goes half an hour.
- Scattered focus: your attention feels chopped into tiny pieces.
- Unfinished projects: half‑done tasks pile up while the easy dopamine wins.
- Shame and guilt: you know better, but the loop keeps running.
- Noise in your head: constant micro‑hits of content drown out clarity.
- Sleep and energy take a hit: late‑night scrolling steals tomorrow’s momentum.
If any of this sounds like you, you’re right to stop and think, because you’re caught in a loop you didn’t choose. The good news: loops can be interrupted...
The Solution
Tactical Recalibration
Breaking out of compulsive screen time, doomscrolling, or what people call phone addiction is not a willpower problem.
It is a learned response loop.
Your brain has been trained to react to cues — notifications, boredom, stress, pauses in attention — and the reach happens before you consciously decide.
That is why limits, reminders, and self-discipline work briefly and then fade.
The goal is not quitting technology.
The goal is stopping the automatic reaction.
This protocol interrupts the loop and replaces it with a controlled response.
The urge settles, the reflex weakens, and the phone becomes a choice again instead of a pull.
What people notice first:
- You can see the phone without grabbing it
- You can put it down without the mental tug to recheck
- You start tasks without needing stimulation first
- Late-night scrolling loses its grip Focus lasts long enough to finish things
You still use your devices.
They just stop deciding when you do.
This is not a strict digital detox and it is not a lecture about screen time.
It is a targeted process that gives you control over your attention again.
The Protocol
How we fix the 'urge'
This is not talk therapy and it is not a lecture about screen habits.
We are not discussing why you use your phone.
We are changing what happens when your brain feels the urge to reach for it.
The session follows a structured process designed to interrupt the automatic behavior and replace it with a controlled response.
Phase 1 — Pattern Mapping
We identify the exact moments the reach happens: boredom, transitions, stress, pauses in thinking, late evening wind-down. You will see, often for the first time, how predictable the loop actually is.
Phase 2 — Interruption
Using focused hypnosis, we step in at the point where the behavior normally starts. The brain learns to pause instead of react. The automatic reach loses speed and intensity.
Phase 3 — Reset
We update the response to the trigger. Instead of stimulation-seeking, the brain settles and attention stabilizes. The phone is still there, but it no longer pulls at you.
Phase 4 — Control Installation
We anchor a deliberate response you can use in real life: noticing the urge, choosing whether to engage, and returning to the task without the mental tug-of-war.
We address one specific behavior loop at a time so the change is noticeable immediately.
Most people leave the first session with something unfamiliar — quiet around the phone. The urge is weaker, slower, and easier to ignore.
You'll still have your devices. But you get to decide when they get your attention, because the urge will be gone.
The mechanics: Why it works
Precision Work foR sustainable change
The phone habit does not start with a decision.
It starts with a signal in the nervous system.
Boredom, stress, pauses in thinking, and even small moments of silence trigger the brain to look for stimulation. Over time the brain learns that the fastest relief is a screen. The reach happens automatically, often before you realize it.
This process changes the response at that level.
Nervous system regulation
Instead of sitting in a constant alert-and-stimulation cycle, your brain settles. When the internal tension drops, the urge to check drops with it.
Interrupting the reward loop
Right now your brain expects a quick hit of stimulation every time attention dips. We weaken that learned pattern so the cue no longer forces the behavior.
Somatic cueing
You learn a physical response that replaces the reach. Instead of grabbing the phone, your brain has a different action available, and the loop breaks.
Behavior stabilization
Once the automatic reaction slows down, focus can hold. You do not need to fight yourself to start or stay with a task.
We are not relying on reminders, timers, or discipline.
We are changing what your brain does in the moment the urge appears.
That is why people can still own a phone, still use apps, and still stay connected; without the constant pull.
Who this is for...
For those tired of losing hours they never meant to spend
This is for people who have already tried to control their screen time and watched it slowly creep back.
You set limits. You deleted apps. You turned on timers. It worked for a few days and then the pattern returned.
You do not need another productivity system.
You need the automatic reach to stop.
This fits if you recognize yourself here:
The constant checker
You grab your phone dozens of times a day without deciding to. Messages, notifications, or nothing at all — the reach happens anyway.
The stalled starter
You sit down to begin work, school assignments, or responsibilities and end up on your device before anything meaningful starts.
The late-night scroller
You plan to go to bed at a reasonable time. One video becomes a chain of them and tomorrow starts tired.
The capable underperformer
You know what needs to get done and you intend to do it. Yet the day fills with small digital distractions and important things stay unfinished.
The parent watching it happen
You see a smart kid whose time and attention keep getting pulled away. Reminders and consequences have not changed the pattern.
This is not about eliminating phones, social media, or technology.
It is for people who want to use their devices — without their devices using them.
Who's behind this?
Your Partner in the Process
I see this pattern every day.
Students, professionals, and high-functioning people who are capable in almost every area of life — except this one.
The phone keeps pulling their attention before they ever get a chance to use it.
When the loop breaks, things improve far beyond screen time: focus returns, sleep stabilizes, stress drops, and confidence comes back because they finally trust themselves to follow through.
My work is different from apps, coaching, or habit plans.
Most approaches try to manage behavior. They rely on reminders, logic, and impulse control. That means you spend all day fighting yourself.
I work on the urge instead of the behavior.
We identify where the reach actually begins — the internal signal, the tension, the moment the brain looks for stimulation — and we intervene there.
Once that response changes, the behavior no longer needs constant discipline. The friction drops and the phone stops dominating your attention.
What people notice first is simple:
- The pull weakens.
- Their mind feels quieter.
- They can leave the phone alone and start what they intended to do.
- More work gets finished. Evenings open back up.
- The sense of control returns.
My background is in performance-based behavior change. I’ve spent years working in high-pressure environments where focus, decision-making, and follow-through matter — teaching, emergency response, leadership, and applied hypnosis.
The same principles apply here: identify the glitch, update the response, and the output changes.
Sessions are structured, private, and conducted in person in Phoenix.

The Investment
Here's What You Get
Digital Reset Program — $795
This is a structured 3-week intervention designed to change a specific behavior pattern so the change holds in daily life, not just during an appointment.
Before the first session you complete a Digital Reset questionnaire to map your triggers and usage patterns, a self-sabotage assessment to identify the internal patterns that keep change from sticking, and a brief personal profile so we can begin focused instead of spending time on background conversation. These allow us to target the exact loop before we start.
The program includes one 90-minute initial session and two 60-minute deep sessions. Between the in-person visits you receive three 20-minute Zoom reinforcement sessions. Each step addresses a different part of the pattern, and the reinforcement sessions stabilize the change while you are applying it in real life.
The sequence follows behavior-change principles: interrupt the loop, update the response, and strengthen it under normal conditions so the new behavior becomes reliable rather than temporary.
All sessions are private and scheduled in advance.
What people usually notice is simple and practical: the urge to check the phone weakens, automatic checking decreases, tasks get started sooner, focus lasts long enough to finish things, evenings stop disappearing into screens, sleep becomes more consistent, mental noise drops, and a stronger sense of control over time returns.
The goal is not eliminating technology; the goal is having your attention available when you need it!
Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach me at dennis@tyrrellconsulting.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Yes. You are awake the entire time and you can talk, move, or stop the session whenever you want. Hypnosis is a focused attention state, not unconsciousness. Research using brain imaging shows people remain responsive and aware while attention is narrowed. You cannot be made to say or do anything against your will.
We review your intake so I already know your patterns. You sit comfortably, we guide your attention into a focused state, and we work directly on the urge-response loop. You will not be performing or revealing secrets. Most people describe it as a very calm, clear mental state where the brain finally stops scanning for stimulation.
Skepticism is normal and does not prevent hypnosis. The only requirement is the ability to follow simple instructions and focus attention for short periods. I work with skeptical clients regularly. They do not need to “believe in it.” They only need to participate.
Those tools manage behavior after the urge appears. This process changes the urge itself. Instead of relying on reminders and discipline all day, we intervene at the moment the brain looks for stimulation. When the pull weakens, the behavior changes without constant effort.
Attention states deepen more reliably in a controlled environment. Studies comparing in-person and remote hypnotic work show stronger responsiveness when distractions are removed. The office setting allows your brain to settle quickly and produce a noticeable change during the session.
Yes. Clinical hypnosis has been studied for decades and is considered a safe behavioral intervention when conducted by a trained practitioner. You remain aware, your memory remains intact, and you return to normal alertness at the end of the session.
Yes. The goal is not to eliminate technology. The goal is control. You can still use your apps and devices, but the automatic checking and scrolling decrease so you choose when to engage and when to stop.
Many people notice a shift after the first session — the urge is quieter and easier to ignore. The following sessions reinforce the change so it holds during normal routines.
This works best for people who want the pattern to change and are willing to follow the session structure. It is appropriate for teens, students, and adults dealing with compulsive phone use, distraction, or chronic procrastination. If you are unsure, send a message before scheduling.
No behavioral change works for everyone. The structured sequence and reinforcement sessions are designed to improve reliability and reduce relapse. Most people experience meaningful improvement when they complete the full program and apply the changes between visits.
