Before we dive into the formal agreement...
I know what's coming next looks like overkill for a free session, but here's why it exists:
This is the same service I normally charge for. You're getting it free because you're a Redditor and I want more experience with different people - and because sometimes I'm a softy. But free doesn't mean casual; it means you're getting professional-level work without the price tag, so we both need to take things seriously.
It's perfectly normal for people to say shopping is ruining their life, then a few days after the session to say they never really had a problem. That's a sign of success, not a reason to dismiss what we did.
My approach uses conscious, conversational hypnosis where you remain aware and awake at all times. No memory gaps, woo-woo or chicken noises, just a deep, focused discussion about you.
I cannot and do not program or control your behavior – you remain responsible for your past and future behavior, including your spending.
I can't guarantee specific results because everyone's different, but I will give you my absolute best effort. This approach works with your natural thinking, so it's not suitable if you're under psychiatric care for serious conditions or on heavy medications that alter your cognition. (Regular antidepressants are usually fine.)
The agreement also covers recording (mandatory), scheduling (you can reschedule once), and other logistics.
By ticking this box, you're confirming you understand the following agreement and are committed to showing up.

FREE HYPNOTHERAPY SESSION AGREEMENT
1. Service Description & Provider Qualifications
The service is as follows:
- A single, free online breakthrough consultation (via Zoom)
- Approximately 60–90 minutes in duration, up to a maximum of 4 hours
- The goal is to help the Client break the compulsive shopping pattern and regain financial and emotional control; regaining choice by changing perception
- This service is normally valued at $997 and is being provided free to Redditors for experience and testimonial purposes
Provider Qualifications & Limitations: Alan Carr is a trained hypnotherapist but is not a licensed medical professional or psychologist. Services provided are for personal development and behavioral change only. No medical advice, prescriptions, or psychiatric treatment will be provided.
2. Client Eligibility & Medical Restrictions
To be suitable for this service, the Client must:
- Be 18 years of age or older
- Be mentally competent to give informed consent
- Not be currently taking antipsychotic medications, benzodiazepines, mood stabilizers, or high-dose psychiatric medications that significantly alter cognition or emotional processing
- Not be under active psychiatric care for serious mental illness
- Not be under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs during the session
- Disclose any psychiatric medications or mental health treatment before the session.
3. Scheduling & Commitment Policy
- Initial booking: Session must be scheduled within 60 days of completing this agreement
- Rescheduling: Maximum of 1 reschedule allowed, requiring 24+ hours notice
- No-shows/short notice cancellations: Result in forfeiture of the free session with no opportunity to reschedule
- Technical issues/emergencies: If the provider needs to reschedule due to illness, emergency, or technical failures (internet outages, Zoom crashes, power failures), a new time will be arranged at no cost to the client
- Free doesn't mean low-priority: The Client agrees to treat this session with the same respect and commitment as if they had paid for it
4. Session Process & Recording Policy
Client Responsibilities:- Attend the session on time, with a working webcam and microphone
- Be in a quiet, private space with no distractions
- Be open and honest during the session
- Use the strategies or insights gained from the session in good faith
All sessions are recorded for quality assurance, session review and mutual protection, with recordings stored securely and retained for up to 24 months. By proceeding with this service, the Client consents to being recorded and acknowledges that recording is a non-negotiable condition of service delivery.
5. Expected Outcomes & Emotional Shifts
What to Expect:- Significant emotional responses, such as tears, laughter, giggles, frustration, or catharsis
- Sudden realizations, shifts in thinking, or intense self-awareness
- Changes in behavior, mood, or perception that continue to unfold after the session, including feeling so disconnected from your old patterns that you may question whether you ever really had a problem in the first place
These are normal and expected outcomes of deep unconscious work, and are considered signs of the process working, not signs that anything has gone wrong.
Client Responsibilities:- Take personal responsibility for their emotional well-being during and after the session
- Use support resources if needed
- Follow post-session integration tasks or reflections if provided
6. No Guarantees & Limitations of Liability
No Guarantee of Specific Results:While many clients have experienced significant positive shifts, specific outcomes are not guaranteed. Every individual is different; your personal background, circumstances, and response to the process will all influence your results. This kind of work can lead to rapid transformation, delayed realizations, or subtle shifts that continue to build over time. You agree to engage with the process in good faith, knowing that results vary and are, in part, beyond the provider's control.
Limitations of Liability:- The provider facilitates the client's own thoughts and insights but does not control outcomes.
- The client remains fully responsible for their own decisions, actions, and life choices following the session.
- The provider accepts no liability for:
- Relationship changes or personal decisions made after the session
- Continued spending behaviors or financial decisions
- Life changes or perspective shifts resulting from the client's own realizations
- Any outcomes beyond the direct delivery of the hypnotherapy session itself
7. Communication Policy
- All communication outside of sessions must be via email (alan@alancarronline.com)
- Zoom/phone calls must be scheduled in advance
- Office hours: Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm (Malaysia/Singapore time)
- Response time: Up to 48 hours for non-urgent matters
8. Testimonials & Feedback
As this is a free service provided for experience purposes, the Client may be asked to provide feedback or a testimonial after the session. Providing feedback is optional but appreciated. Any testimonial use requires separate explicit permission.
9. Entire Agreement and Jurisdiction
This Agreement is governed by the laws of Malaysia. Any disputes arising from this Agreement shall be resolved through Malaysian jurisdiction. Both parties agree to attempt good-faith resolution of any issues before pursuing formal action. This Agreement is the complete understanding between the provider and the Client. No other verbal or written agreements will apply unless formally amended and signed by both parties.
