Hypnotherapy for Weight Management

How does hypnotherapy work for weight management?

Diets teach the body to endure starvation. Most diets are not sustainable in the long term, which is why most people regain the weight they have lost and more within two years.

What makes hypnotherapy effective when diets have failed?

Its all about re-educating clients to think like a slim person. The first session would look at adopting achievable goals:

• Eat when you are hungry
• Stop eating when you are full
• Drink more water
• Resign from the clean plate brigade

During subsequent sessions clients are encouraged to talk about any emotional problems they may have had in the past, which may have caused low self esteem or low mood. Typically it is these sorts of feelings that cause overweight people to eat to satisfy emotional feelings rather than physiological hunger.

Once these feelings have been identified clients can resolve the challenges. Hypnoanalysis can bring about profound changes in a client's life: empowering people to take control of their life and move on, leaving destructive eating habits behind. When this happens, weight slowly disappears on a healthy permanent basis without the need for diets.

Diets try to address the symptoms but not the cause. Even the words "weight loss" are unhelpful as we are all hardwired to find something, if it has been lost. The mind plays an all important part here. Hypnotherapy offers a unique effective way to change your life.

How does this work?

The logical thinking mind is only one tenth of our mind, the powerful part is the other nine tenths, the subconscious. This is our driver. The hypnotised state offers a doorway through to the subconscious. The hypnotherapist, by making powerful positive suggestions which totally resonate with the changes the clients wish to make, can motivate the client to set realistic achievable goals.

The client is always aware of what is being said, and is in control of their own level of hypnosis. The therapist is a facilitator who helps them get there.
