Weight Loss - How can Hypnosis Help?

weight loss It's not about diets, and it isn't about increasing your will-power to deny yourself the things you want.

It's about making it easier for you to reach your goals, in a way that's healthy, natural and sensible. You can still enjoy the food you eat, but you’ll just be doing it in a way that enables you to help you lose weight and to keep it off.

How does hypnosis work for weight loss?

It's not a one-size-fits-all approach. We will work together and discuss several different elements that are essential to your success.

Your attitude towards food. A lot of people who overeat use food as a measure or substitute for their well-being, safety, or even love. With hypnosis, you can change these attitudes and reduce your perceptionof the importance that food has represented itself to you in the past- so you eat less and make better choices and you continue to enjoy what you eat.
Your triggers for eating need to be identified so you have new choices in situations that may have 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 positive self-talk so that you build on your strength, rather than battling perceived feelings of deprivation.
Emphasis on health. Hypnosis can increase your desire for the foods that you know are good for you. When you can find satisfaction with healthier foods, changing your eating patterns can be much easier.

How many sessions does it take?

For many people - especially those who only carry a few extra pounds - a single session of habit improvement may be all that is needed.

Others may need multiple sessions to achieve the results they want. There are all sorts of reasons why people overeat. It's very important to get to the root cause of the issue and to identify the programming that is causing the overeating. Hypnosis provides easy access to these root causes and then new suggestions are provided so that the tools to make the necessary changes are in place. Follow-up sessions can provide reinforcement when necessary so that these new patterns are deeply ingrained .

Do you recommend a specific diet?

No, I'm not a nutritionist and I don't give specific nutritional advice. Most people choose to eat what has been enjoyable all along, just in smaller quantities. That way, you don't deny yourself the foods you want to eat, so there's no need to return to "forbidden foods." With hypnosis, your appetite is fully satisfied, but only with modest portions of healthy food that are ideally suited for your size and weight.

If you’ve already seen a doctor or nutritionist and you would like additional help sticking to a new diet plan, then hypnosis can help ensure that you succeed and if there's a craving or two you genuinely want to get rid of, well, we can do that too.

Please note that I don't offer hypnosis for crash diets or any eating plan that could be detrimental to your health.
