Arrow Technique
A direct, layer-by-layer descent from the surface complaint to the original decision underneath it.
We follow the avoidance down to what finishing would mean about you.
Hypnotherapy for Procrastination
Hypnotherapy for procrastination — treating avoidance as protection rather than laziness.
How We See It
Procrastination is almost never a time management problem. It is avoidance of a feeling the task predicts: being judged, being wrong, being finished and still not enough.
Find the predicted feeling, resolve it, and the task stops needing to be avoided. Systems and calendars work fine after that.
What People Usually Describe
- —You do easy work fluently and stall on one specific kind of task
- —Starting is far harder than continuing

- —You feel worst about the tasks you care about most
How We Make the Change
Parts Negotiation
Sitting down with the part of you that wants the change and the part that keeps protecting the old behavior, and getting them to agree on terms.
The protective part that stalls is given a way to protect you that does not cost you the deadline.
Modeling
Identifying how someone who already does this well does it, and installing that structure in you.
We install the actual starting structure used by people who begin without drama.
Future Pacing
Rehearsing the new response in the exact situations where the old one used to run.
The specific task, desk and time of day are rehearsed with an easy start.
Common Questions
Is this the same as ADHD?

Commonly two to three.
