How food is used

Hypnotherapy is so effective because it can remove the need to eat for emotional reasons. We are the only species on earth that eats to help our feelings and the only species that gets overweight. It's no coincidence!
Most clients' weight problems start from their self confessed need to eat when they are either nervous, bored, sad, stressed, happy, lonely, anxious, frustrated, afraid ... but not when they are hungry! Hypnotherapy and NLP techniques can develop other automatic ways of satisfying these triggers without having to resort to overeating.
It's sad but true that due to our conditioning since birth, we all tend to indulge our feelings using food. But no amount of food is going to change the way we feel longterm so our minds will never feel satisfied. They just end up feeling worse.

Your natural balance

Hypnotherapy allows us to simply return our food habits to their natural state ... of being purely hunger led. It can enable your mind to feel better about itself by 'unhooking' it from unhealthy food habits. Combined with some relaxation and confidence building sessions you can then become free to get the most from life and the new you.

The Unhappy circle

It is well known that the more overweight you are, the more likely you are to have physical health problems.

However it shouldn't be forgotten that being unhappy about 'who you are' and how you look can also lead to mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. It's easy to see how that vicious circle develops where overeating for comfort only succeeds in increasing the problem in the long term.

Why lose weight?

There are many reasons for losing weight and you will have your own unique set.

Common aims to lose weight

Health problems

Some of the most common aims to lose weight are to:

Feel more confident
Feel good about yourself
Have more energy
Look better in your clothes
Not get out of breath so much
Enjoy shopping for clothes
Look forward to holidays and special occasions

In studies, people who have lost significant amounts of weight said they were more energetic, felt more confident, felt their health had improved, got more attention from people, had a better mood and even felt they were better at their job.

Being overweight puts you more at risk of developing health problems.

Heart disease
Diabetes
Stroke
Certain types of cancer
Sleep apnea (interrupted breathing during sleep)
Gout (joint pain caused by excess uric acid)
Gallbladder disease.
Steoarthritis (wearing away of the joints).

Hypnotherapy treatment to help weight loss

The first sessions

Will be concerned with getting to grips with the particular issues you face with regards to weight and to generate a plan to produce enjoyable, healthy eating for life. Relaxation and confidence-building in trance should also prepare you nicely for the changes ahead.

The second phase

Will deal with addressing your unique triggers to unhealthy eating, and aiming for you to be less reliant on food to make you feel better. We'll also look at the disparity between what food your body actually craves and what food your mind feeds it. Through hypnosis your mind can become more naturally aligned with your body's true needs and will find healthier food more and more appealing.

Finally

Whatever it is that triggers your unhealthy eating, we can normally replace those responses with other enjoyable and more healthy activities. This way you can feel good about yourself, not just in the moment, but for good!

Treatment length

The solutions are as varied as people. However, the 'average' treatment plan will usually address the following four main areas using a combination of hypnotherapy and NLP:

Understanding the emotional triggers for your unhealthy eating.
Enhancing the appeal and enjoyment of healthy foods.
Building your self-esteem to prepare you for change.
Bringing new habits into your life for healthy eating.
