Hypnotherapy for Weight Loss / Eating Issues

Estimates show, that at any one time, as many as one in three of us are currently on a diet, with over half of us having dieted at some time in our lives.

The truth of the matter is that, for the vast majority of people, 'dieting' on its own just doesn't seem to work in the long term.

The question is: why not?

The answer is surprisingly simple... dieting, in essence, misses the point.

Why are some people so successful in losing weight?

Those who successfully, and permanently lose weight, are not those who simply diet. 

They are the ones who change the role that food plays in their life.

They learn to respect their food, and more importantly, to respect themselves.

While slimming / dieting alone can indeed help someone to lose weight in the short term, once the diet ends, the weight can (an often does!), creep back on.  This is because dieting alone doesn't address the person's underlying psychological desire to overeat.

This is where using hypnosis and, more specifically, analytical hypnotherapy can help with weight loss.

Analytical hypnotherapy for weight control is geared towards finding the reason why a person is repeatedly feeling the need to overeat - whether it be due to:

  • Compensation eating - and this is really 'comfort' eating and should be viewed as overeating to fulfill an emotional or psychological need.  Eating because of stress can also come into this area, as can eating to make you 'feel better'.
  • Reward eating (and this can still fall under the umbrella-term of compensation eating).  Typical examples would be: 'I've had a great day - so I'm going to treat myself - even though I know I shouldn't really have it' ... or ... 'I've had a really bad day - where's that maxi-pack of crisps?'
  • Feeling the need to be noticed and larger than life.
  • Wishing to erect a 'barrier', that will (subconsciously), push other people away.

Another common reason that people give as their reason for wanting to lose weight, is that they 'feel fat', or 'enormous', when in reality they're not really overweight at all.  The problem here, of course, is usually self-image.  Again, this is something that can be addressed, and yes, analytical hypnotherapy can help with this too.

Whatever the reason, analytical hypnotherapy is, by far, the best method used here for any of these problems.

Another method sometimes used to help with weight control is suggestion therapy.  However, suggestion therapy should really be viewed as an enjoyable visualisation session...  time to relax...  time for yourself.

Whatever the cause of your weight control issues, analytical hypnotherapy can be used as a very effective way forward, so book your initial consultation today.
