The short answer
Our search of Europe PMC finds 0 results. Our search of ClinicalTrials.gov finds 0 results.
Limerence acts like a rumination loop tied to addiction, and published evidence on similar loops suggests hypnosis may help.
Danny is a Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist and the founder of the Unhook Protocol. He specializes in limerence and works with clients across North America by video.
He has been through limerence himself. He knows the pain, and he knows the feeling that your own mind stopped taking orders.
No study has tested hypnosis for limerence yet. He built the Unhook Protocol anyway, from the research that does exist, and from what got him out.

Key takeaways
- No study tests hypnosis for limerence directly: No study tests hypnosis for limerence directly. We searched Europe PMC and ClinicalTrials.gov and found zero results in both places.
- 52 of 408 accounts already call limerence an addiction: We checked 408 accounts about limerence. 52 of those accounts use addiction words.
- Hypnosis has 318 general records on rumination alone: Our search found 0 studies that test hypnosis for limerence directly. We point to 318 general records on rumination to show this idea uses real science and gives a clear reason to try it without claiming it works.

We checked. Nobody has studied this yet. Here is the proof.

We looked for studies on hypnosis and limerence. We found none.
- Europe PMC search shows zero matches. We searched for limerence and hypnotherapy together.
- The system returned 0 records. This means no papers link these terms here.
- A search for limerence alone found 31 records. This proves the search tool works well.
- ClinicalTrials.gov shows zero registered trials. We searched for limerence in this database.
- The result was 0 active or completed trials. This confirms no medical tests exist yet.
- To check the tool, we searched for depression. That search returned 46175 trials.
- This confirms the database is working correctly. The empty result for limerence is real.
- Two separate searches confirm the gap. One search looked at science papers.
- The other search looked at medical tests. Both checks point to the same fact.
- No direct study exists today. The data is missing for this mix.
- Real people try hypnosis without studies. Some users explore this path on their own.
- In our review of 408 certified causes accounts, we saw 2 mentions of hypnosis. These users brought up the idea themselves.
- They did not wait for a doctor to suggest it. They acted on their own needs.
- Recovery accounts also show interest. We checked 239 certified recovery accounts for signs of self-help.
- We found 1 account discussing hypnosis. This person shared their experience first.
- Others noticed and noted the mention later. On their own trying goes on.
- Users act where data is missing. The 2 mentions in causes groups show action.
- The 1 mention in recovery groups shows action. These people do not wait for proof.
- They try methods that fit their needs. Their choices build a trail for others.
Danny is a Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist who developed a method for his own limerence. He now offers a three-tier program based on this approach. His background guides what we do at Limerence Lab. There is no direct proof for limerence. The science points to general patterns instead. Hypnosis helps with stuck thoughts in other areas. Love and rejection affect the brain like addiction. These links make the idea reasonable. We cannot say it works for everyone. We can only say the reasoning makes sense.
Danny believes he can help some people. He takes clients he thinks will get support. He tells them upfront if it is not working. There is no lock-in contract. Privacy is kept safe. Results vary for each person.

The six-step method: Understand, Neutralise, Heal, Overwrite, Own, Keep
Our search found no study that tests hypnosis for limerence directly. This clear gap in research is why we frame this approach as plausible reasoning rather than proof.
Danny is a Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist who built this system after his own personal experience. He shares it as a structured path he found helpful, not as a guaranteed medical plan. General science shows how love and loss affect the mind. Some researchers compare intense attachment to a habit loop. Guided relaxation can interrupt the urge to dwell on the same thoughts. These findings support why the method makes sense. Many people struggle with constant thoughts about someone else. The mind often repeats old stories without asking permission. Guided breathing and quiet focus can break that cycle. You learn to steer your attention toward the present moment. This method relies on general science about thought patterns and guided relaxation. It does not claim to fix anything. The creator holds clinical credentials and sells this program directly. He states upfront that he cannot promise results. We look at how the mind handles strong emotions. The steps offer a clear way forward. You can try the audio files at your own pace. The system adapts to your daily routine. This path is built on what helped him navigate his own struggles. It stands as a reasonable option to explore alongside other support.
- Understand draws on the clear pattern of repeated thoughts. Many people notice their feelings act like a strong habit loop.
- This step helps you see the cycle without judgment.
- Neutralise uses the calm focus that guided practice offers. Research shows this focus can pause the urge to think about the same person.
- It works with the brain to slow down the loop.
- Heal addresses the quiet pain that follows rejection. Science links romantic loss to stress pathways in the mind.
- This phase gives space for those heavy feelings to settle.
- Overwrite replaces old mental tracks with new daily habits. You build fresh routines that take up your attention.
- This shifts your focus away from the past.
- Own brings back your personal power and choice. You decide what matters to you now.
- This step grounds you in your own life goals.
- Keep maintains the steady progress you have made. You check in with yourself to stay on course.
- Small daily actions protect your peace over time.
My personal take: my story, and how to try this for yourself
I am a registered clinical hypnotherapist who also sells this program. Our search of medical records shows no studies that test this method for limerence directly. I spent too much time stuck in these heavy thoughts. I used my own training to help my mind shift. Within 3 to 4 sessions the grip began to loosen. Over about 12 weeks my brain found a new rhythm. I built the Unhook method from what actually helped me. Start with the free Limerence Score quiz and book a free intake call. The Unhook System is $199 for self-guided audio paid once. The Regression Intensive is $299 for one deep session and most people start here. The Unhook Protocol is $999 for three live sessions over about 12 weeks. It includes the audio system and a personal relapse plan. I do not offer a money back guarantee and I only take cases where I see a clear path. All our work is fully confidential with no lock-in so please take the free quiz to begin.
You can take a free quiz today. It needs no commitment and gives no diagnosis.

About the Author

Danny Mohan
Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist (RCH) with the Association of Registered Clinical Hypnotherapists of Canada (ARCH-Canada). Danny works entirely online and specializes in one thing: limerence — the involuntary, obsessive infatuation that wraps your mind around a single person and will not let go. He built the Unhook Protocol after living through limerence himself and using his own tools to recalibrate in about twelve weeks. The work is a focused 3-session program over roughly twelve weeks, capped at 10 new clients a month, and completely confidential. It is a self-help and coaching approach for quieting the loop, not medical treatment or psychotherapy.
