Remarkable Hypnotherapy for Weight Loss

More detailed information about hypnotherapy and weight loss.

Losing weight is one thing - and WOW, it can be a difficult one thing! - but changing your lifestyle so that it stays off and is manageable is what I help you do.

Maybe you’ve tried everything and this is the last shot. You’re probably sick of fad diets and diet plans that make you feel that all you want to do is eat! Have you lost the motivation? Maybe everything else is going great but weight is the one thing that’s always been an issue and why is healthy weight loss escaping you? Sick of listening to yourself when you look in the mirror? or step on the scales? Sick and tired of not feeling like yourself in your own clothes? Maybe you just feel so disconnected from the person you see in the mirror. Maybe it’s becoming a serious health issue, or maybe you want to up your game for longevity. I get it.

How you speak to yourself matters

Being harsh on yourself, that constant inner critic (maybe you even hear it in the voice of a family member). It puts so much pressure on you, and constantly leaves you feeling down and disillusioned. When we’re constantly making ourselves feel bad, shaming ourselves, then successful and manageable weight loss will continue to escape us. Hypnotherapy can help to change the mind of this inner critic, it can allow the more gentle and kind inner voice to come through to support us and champion our efforts, helping to boost motivation and morale to change our lifestyle for the better.

Emotional eating and eating habits can sweep the legs from under us

I’m sure lots of us have been there - emotional turmoil or maybe an awful day at work and we’re rooting out the ice cream and before we catch ourselves we’re half a tub down or half a cake has been inhaled. Maybe it’s the bar of chocolate every time we’re at a checkout. Maybe it’s the half (whole) pack of biscuits watching TV to stop the chattering in our mind so we can feel like we’re resting and recuperating (*that isn’t sustainable). Or we’re happy, elated, good news and we’re celebrating! Massive dinner with boozy drinks and dessert and maybe cheese because it’s cheese and we’re happy! We’re conditioned throughout our lives to link foods with emotions of high and low, and all of that isn’t a bad thing at all - except when we go too far with it and before we know it we use food as a coping mechanism for our emotions and we associate cake and fizzy wine with excitement and having a good time so let’s eat and drink and maybe we can force that feeling - we can’t. Hypnosis can help to break these associations, it can redirect that emotional need and those associations to much healthier and sustainable ways of coping, and it can do it quickly.

How come hypnotherapy helps when nothing else has worked?

Because we reprogram your thoughts and beliefs. That’s it in a nutshell. That is actually it. The therapy part of hypnotherapy is the use of counselling skills so we can talk about the real reason your relationship with food has been unable to change. We can change how you think and feel about the problem foods and we can change your beliefs about yourself. If deep down you don’t believe you are worthy of weight loss then your subconscious will always find ways to carry that thought out, because it’s a belief. We can change that inner patter to be nicer and kind. We can lift your self esteem and your self confidence and we can rewire your subconscious to be motivated to change your lifestyle and most people tell me that they finally feel like themselves again.

So how many sessions?

In my extensive experience, most people are satisfied and comfortable with their change of lifestyle after five sessions and find that they really have achieved sustainable and manageable weight loss that stays with them, they maintain a weight they’re comfortable with and it feels effortless to them. We work with changing attitudes to problem foods, through aversion or a desire to only have a small amount. Amplifying the desire for healthy foods and bringing motivation for exercise and motivation to work towards the goal in mind. All throughout the hypnosis sessions I use suggestions to help raise self esteem and bring confidence and a positive self image. We work to get rid of any negative beliefs about the self that can be holding you back - some people have held negative beliefs about themselves for decades. Maybe most importantly we find sustainable ways to replace the benefits you would have got from the old lifestyle - it’s easy to not think there would be benefits to an unhealthy lifestyle but there must be, because why keep it for so long otherwise?
