 How
can hypnotherapy help with weight loss?
It's not about diets. And it isn't about building your will-power to
deny yourself the things you want.
It's about making it easier for you to
get slim.
And stay slim. In a way that's healthy, natural and sensible. Still
enjoying the food you eat, but doing it in a way that enables you to
lose fat and keep it off. So you can avoid the diet roller coaster. So
you can look forward to keeping those shedded pounds off permanently.
How does it work for weight loss?
It's not a one-size-fits-all approach. When I work with clients, we
talk about several elements that are essential to their success.
- Your attitude towards food
needs to be looked
at. A lot of overeaters use food as a measure or substitute for
well-being, safety, or love. With hypnosis, you can change your
attitudes to reduce your perceived importance of food - so you eat less
and continue to enjoy what you eat.
- Your triggers for eating
need to be identified so you have new choices in situations that caused
you to overeat in the past.
- Self-esteem and confidence
are crucial factors
in making life-long change. The ability to imagine yourself at a
healthy weight is an important start. Hypnosis can reinforce good
self-talk so that you build on strength rather than battling feelings
of deprivation.
- Emphasis on health. Hypnosis
can increase your
desire for the foods you know are good for you. When you find
satisfaction with healthy food changing your eating patterns is much
easier.
Do you recommend a specific diet?
No, I'm not a nutritionist and I don't give specific nutritional
advice. IN most cases I find clients already know how to eat
healthy. The work we do removes the blocks that have kept
them
from doing what they know.
How many sessions does it take?
Weight is probably the most nuanced issue I help people solve.
It varies widely six to eight sessions is about average.
How much does it cost?
You pay a flat rate based on
successful resolution of your problem (rather than a per-session fee).
Rates vary by issue and individual.
