Why HypnoNews

HypnoNews is an independent, evidence-first guide to hypnotherapy. We read the research so you don't have to — then grade it transparently, the way a careful clinician would.

Every review names its sources, states the strength of the evidence, and says plainly where the research is thin. We compare our own tools against competitors on the same terms, and never let a product relationship bend a verdict — our editorial firewall is public.

No miracle claims, no hype, no pay-to-win rankings. Just what the studies actually show.
