Weight Control and Hypnosis

When most people think of losing weight, they think of diets and denial – fighting against your natural impulses. Even if you manage to lose weight this way, the fact is you cannot maintain this indefinitely, and sooner or later (usually sooner!) the weight is back on again. You will not lose weight permanently by fighting against yourself.

So how can hypnosis help you lose weight? 

Healthy weight loss comes from learning how to listen to your body, being guided by its signals, and by supporting that at a deeper level of the mind where our feelings and responses are being organized. Hypnosis provides us with a tool to access this part of our mind, and make changes at that level.  Hypnotherapy is the application of hypnosis techniques towards a therapeutic outcome, such as helping you to change your eating habits and your emotional patterns of behaviour. 

The goal is not to see how quickly you can shed a few kilos, your goal is to create balance and harmony. This balance brings to you a guidance system, and as you follow this guidance your eating patterns and emotional habits arrange themselves according to what you want them to be. A sense of enjoyment and satisfaction within this process automatically leads to a continuation of this process. In this way your body gradually lets go of those extra kilos naturally,and allows you to enjoy being at your ideal weight permanently, without the need for constant struggle. This is a much happier and a much more lasting outcome.

Hypnotherapy is a gentle and natural way of working to bring our actions in line with our minds. We take into account things such as:

·         Emotional eating – such as eating for comfort, or when you are bored;

·         Habitual eating – eating when you’re not hungry;

·         Specific foods which are a “problem”;

·         Social eating – celebrating with food, rewarding yourself with food, etc. 

Regaining Control

Weight loss work using hypnosis is designed to give you the motivation to eat and drink in a thoughtful and appropriate way, finding your natural body balance. This is not a denial program, but a good feeling program. By using your inner mind’s assistance through hypnotherapy techniques you can have relaxed, good feelings about yourself, enjoy eating, and secure lasting weight control. 

Hypnosis is beyond will-power, so does not call upon you to perform heroic feats of self denial; it is beyond daily insecurities so continues to work for you even when you are distracted by other priorities in your world. Hypnosis frees you to live more fully by subconsciously accomplishing all those things which you most desire but have, as yet, been unable to achieve even with your most focused thoughts.
