Are you having a happy new year or are you counting the cost of overindulging on food and drink over the Christmas period? I know that for hypnotherapists this is one of the busiest times of the year as clients resolve to change their lifestyles and create a fresh start in January. As specialists in Weight Loss Hypnotherapy in Nottingham we like to think that we take a very different approach to helping people reach their goals. None of our clients are placed on a traditional diet instead we work with them to understand when they are full and when they are hungry and the psychological triggers that are making them overeat.
Believe it or not most people have an inbuilt mechansim that tells them when they are full but in most cases it is ignored. Perhaps because of the busy lives we currently lead or because a part of our minds has decided that food has become a way of coping with stress, anger, guilt, fear and other emotions. Food becomes a way of dissociating from the present. In other words whilst the person is overeating they enter a little bubble of relaxation or calm and their outside problems seem far away. The problem with this is that the subconscious has created a coping mechanism but not really solved the underlying problem.
Our weight loss hypnosis sessions help our clients to understand the emotional reasons why they are overeating and help them to find new alternative behaviours. In many cases we can also help to alleviate the underlying problem as well. The perception of hypnosis is that it is the “magic” solution but that is far from the case. Hypnosis is a deep state of relaxed and focussed attention that allows us to communicate with your subconscious. Generally our minds are too cluttered to retrieve the thought processes that are holding us back or preventing us from reaching our goals. A specialised weight loss hypnotherapist however can help you to retrieve this information whilst you are in the trance like state.
If you are considering starting a healthy eating program and are considering hypnosis as an option then expect to sign up for a program. One session wonders will make little difference as one hour barely gives your therapist time to ask the relevant questions to conduct a successful session. Generally we would expect to see clients for an average of five sessions to make a real difference to their eating habits.
