This is a good fit if…
- You want to work on a specific habit or response.
- You are motivated to practice more self-control in everyday situations.
- You are ready to stay open, follow instructions, and take an active role in the process.
ATTENTION: If doubt or a lack of self-control is getting in the way of how you want to respond—and willpower alone hasn’t helped you make the changes you want…
A focused hypnotherapy session to help you practice greater self-control and respond to challenging situations with more calm.

Apply to work with Donald. He’ll review your application and follow up with you about next steps.
When willpower isn’t enough
Let’s be completely honest.
You may know the changes you want to make and still find it difficult to follow through. Everyday situations can bring up familiar thoughts and reactions, leaving you frustrated or unsure how to move forward.
- You know what you want to do, but find yourself falling back into familiar habits.
- Your mind keeps circling around a difficult conversation, a decision, or something you can’t control.
- You hold back from situations where you would like to feel more confident and self-directed.
- You may look like you have it together while feeling worn down by the effort of managing the same responses.
Knowing what you want to do and feeling able to do it can be two different things. This session gives you a focused opportunity to explore a response or habit you would like to change.
A focused working session
Before we go further, let’s be transparent.
This is not a magic wand or a passive experience. It is a focused session for people who are ready to take an active role in practicing greater self-control.
This isn’t a fit if…
- You want someone else to do all the work while you remain passive.
- You are looking for a casual chat or a way to test whether you can resist hypnosis.
- You prefer not to take part in the process or reflect on what you would like to change.
Meet Donald
Hi, I’m Donald Baar, CHT, MS.
I’m a certified hypnotherapist, and I’ve spent decades studying how people think and behave.
My journey began with hypnotherapy training. I wanted to understand more about human behavior, so I returned to school and earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, followed by a Master of Science degree.
After stepping away from my practice to care for my father, his passing renewed my commitment to this work. Today, my mission is to help people practice greater self-control and move toward the changes they want to make.

A structured approach
The Neural Alignment System
Donald’s approach uses focused attention and guided exercises to help you explore thoughts, emotions, and responses connected to a personal goal.
Donald draws on three techniques, selecting the ones that best support your personal goal:
The movie-theater perspective
From a comfortable, third-person perspective—like sitting in a projection booth—you revisit a challenging situation at a manageable pace and practice connecting with a calmer, more self-directed response.
Changing an emotional association
With guided attention and grounding cues, you practice shifting between a situation you find challenging and a positive, resourceful state.
The Tree of Doubt
Doubt can be like branches on a damaged tree. Everyday interactions may bring those thoughts to the surface and affect how you respond. In this exercise, we trace the thoughts back to earlier experiences and work to ease the stress attached to them. The aim is to help you feel calmer in situations that would otherwise feel uncomfortable.
The goal is to help you practice a response that feels more calm and self-directed.
What to expect
A 60-Minute Self-Control Breakthrough Session
This is a focused 60-minute session. You and Donald will decide together which habit, thought pattern, or response you would like to work on.
Choose a focus (minutes 1–15)
Talk through the situation or response you would like to change and decide what to focus on during the session.
Focused hypnotherapy (minutes 15–50)
In a comfortable, focused state, Donald guides you through selected exercises, drawing on the movie-theater perspective, grounding cues, and positive imagery to support your chosen goal.
Reflect and plan (minutes 50–60)
