Weight loss hypnotherapy

Through the use of Weight Loss Hypnotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and the principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), we'll help you to permanently change your relationship with food, enabling you to effortlessly lose weight, stay in control and ultimately, become the size and shape you desire.

And as part of the process, will also help you to feel physically more relaxed, mentally calmer and, so much more confident within yourself.

To help explain why we are so successful at weight loss hypnosis, we would ask you to consider the following: why is it that weight is only a problem for two categories of being: the most intelligent species on the earth (that's us!) and the animals we domesticate?

Why is it that whilst 40% of UK citizens are now classed as overweight, 99.99% of the other creatures on this planet, providing their food is available, eat as much as they want, whenever they want and are never overweight.

Why is it that other creatures on this earth are not prone to that never ending cycle of over eating and dieting?

The reason for this bizarre phenomenon is very simple -- other creatures on this earth do not eat emotionally. That's right; the reason why so many people in the western world are overweight is because as a species we have learned to use food as a means to change our feelings. Indeed, most of our clients' weight problems emanate from the fact that they eat when they are bored, lonely, miserable or any number of other emotional scenarios, NONE of which have anything to do with physical hunger.

It a sad fact that as a result of our conditioning from birth, we all have a propensity to bury our feelings in food, but if we eat because of emotional hunger, our bodies will never feel satisfied because no amount of food is going to change the way we feel -- indeed ultimately, it will only end up making us feel worse.

Through the use of Hypnotherapy and NLP, we help to change your relationship with food by retraining your unconscious mind, that part of the mind that holds all our food related beliefs, associations and habitual patterns of behaviour.

Typically we would look to see you three times over a five week period, with each session lasting approximately 60 minutes and costing £60 each.

 

 

 

 

Hypnotherapy Can Stop You Over-Eating and Help You Lose Weight

Hypnotherapy can help you to find out why you over-eat and therefore enable you to gain control over your eating habits, and to develop a healthy relationship with food. This by itself can help many people lose weight, but Hypnotherapy can also complement a weight loss and exercise programme.

If your eating habits have a negative impact on your life, hypnotherapy can help you.

How can hypnotherapy help you lose weight?

By addressing the psychological root cause of weight gain, a new attitude towards food can be created and will prevent you from turning to food when you are anxious, lonely, stressed, bored, depressed etc and therefore lose weight much more easily than struggling with a diet.

Here are some of the reasons that can cause people to become overweight in the first place:

1) Eating to compensate for boredom, lack of love, loneliness –

hypnotherapy can enable you to fully understand your emotions, your reactions to them and allow you to break the link that your subconscious has between emotions and food.

2) Eating too quickly

hypnotherapy can help you slow down your eating and allow you to actually enjoy eating and become an eater rather than a feeder.

3) Eating to reward self seems to be a good idea at the time -

hypnotherapy can enable you to fully understand why you need to reward yourself and once again break the link that your subconscious has between reward and food.

4) Always clearing their plates

hypnotherapy can help you slow down your eating and allow you to feel the 'stop sign' that tells you when you are full. This can reduce your food intake dramatically by ensuring that you eat 'consciously'.

5) Skipping meals

hypnotherapy can motivate you to embark upon a regular and healthy eating regime.

6) Overeating to protect themselves

hypnotherapy can help explore the root causes of why you overeat and allow you to move on and successfully lose weight but permanently this time.

Results you can expect with hypnotherapy for weight loss:

  • Your attitude and relationship with food will change.
  • You will be able to identify the 'stop sign' much more easily and stop eating when full.
  • Become more motivated to eat better quality food, steering away from junk / processed foods preferring the 'healthy option'.
  • Increase in your confidence levels resulting in a more positive outlook. This new positive outlook will allow you to tackle obstacles in a much more motivated way.
  • Self-image issues addressed leaving you feeling less critical of your appearance.
  • Reduction of stress levels as well as other unwanted behaviours and habits such as self-sabotage, binge eating.
  • Once these issues have been resolved, you can realise that you are able to 'take back control' of your life and feel much happier.
