Hypnotherapy is well known to be a tremendous help for people
looking to lose weight and become slimmer and healthier because
how and what you think affects how you feel and behave...your
mind really does affect your body and vice versa. As an aid to
mental health and wellbeing hypnosis allows you to QUICKLY change
beahviours from negative to positive and is incredibly successful
at dealing with bad habits. Speaking of bad habits the most common
one in relation with weight tends to be...
...Comfort eating or comfort drinking
Over eating, binging or comfort-eating is often known in psychology
as a compulsion or (orally) compulsive activity. When people are
being a bit compulsive they are giving themselves a quick reward
for something, getting an immediate satisfaction. Something sweet
or satisfying creates an initial boost (e.g. chocolate) which
is quickly followed by guilt ('I shouldn't have eaten that, I'm
trying to lose weight'). This sets you up for a vicious cycle,
battling with yourself all the time - sound familiar? Being a
bit compulsive is actually a wonderful way of dealing with stress,
giving yourself a treat once in a while, but isn't so good if
you have ten biscuits instead of one.
Many people that I have treated for weight loss at my Cheltenham
Hypnotherapy Clinic have also admitted to comfort eating because
of emotional issues, and they have noticed eating more (or more
junk food) when they are stressed, lonely, bored, tired, on shift
work, upset or depressed.
So weight loss not surprisingly can be quite a battle between
mind and body.
Slimming, weight loss and weight control
with hypnotherapy
In just a SINGLE SESSION, by combining deep relaxation with visualisation
and hypnotic suggestions we can replace and 're-programme' your
poor eating or drinking habits with new feelings of pride
and confidence in yourself and your food choices and
the way you look so that you start to lose weight easily and effectively.
Positive suggestions during the relaxing state of hypnosis can
be used to increase your WILLPOWER and MOTIVATION. You will naturally
become consciously more aware of how you feel when you are eating
and rather than TRYING to diet will just feel far more in control
of what you eat, how much and when you eat - putting you back
IN CONTROL. Suggestions can also be given, if needed, to increase
your motivation to exercise or go to the gym, and increase feelings
of self esteem about yourself and your own body. Everybody walks
out of the session feeling better about themselves!
Ella's story
"Hi Richard,I just wanted to say a massive thank you
for your help. I really can’t believe the difference
just one session has made to my weight loss. Before I came
to see you my biggest problem was definitely comfort-eating
in the evening, but since my therapy session I have felt completely
in control and have not wanted to pick at all.When I came to see you I was hoping to leave feeling motivated to diet, but the reality has by far exceeded that. I’ve gained complete control with food and actually have a new-found sense of calm in other areas of my life too. You have such a lovely manner and I didn’t feel at all embarrassed about talking through personal issues with you – even the free consultation left me feeling motivated and I couldn’t wait for the actual hypnotherapy to take place. Absolutely everything about the experience was really positive, even down to the beautiful and professional health centre you work from. I just wish I’d picked up the phone to you years ago! Many thanks..." Ella, Cheltenham, March 2008 |
The hypnotherapy weight loss session will also help you to combat
your stress levels, therefore having another beneficial knock-on
affect to your eating habits - the less stressed people feel,
the less they need to eat.
This session is also suitable for those wishing to control their
drinking more (see below) and have much more willpower in relation
to alcohol to prevent binges or over-doing it.
Eating Disorders and serious drinking
problems
If the weight issues are serious and ongoing, or where there are
a combination of other body-image problems such as anorexia or
bulimia or binging, then a course of analytical hypnotherapy would
almost certainly be more suitable to deal with some of the root
causes of these major issues.
