Lose Weight and Manage your Weight with Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy
I can show you how solution-focused hypnotherapy can help you to:
- Lose weight more easily
- Act upon a new instinctive blueprint or template for a slimmer and healthier you
- Break emotional links with food (e.g. if you have over-eaten when stressed, bored, tired or lonely).
- Unhook destructive behaviour patterns and habits around food
- Create natural and healthy eating patterns and habits
- Positively change the way you think and feel about food, exercise and your own self-image
- Boost motivation
- Gain confidence
- Gain energy
- Become slim and continue to be slim as part of your lifestyle
- Instinctively make healthy food and lifestyle choices
- Benefit from your mind and body working together for a slimmer you rather than them working against each other.
- Feel naturally slim
- Ensure that your basic emotional needs are being met so that you have the spare capacity to fulfil your potential and so that food is not used as a misdirected attempt at meeting any missing basic emotional needs
- Stabilise that blood sugar rollercoaster and stop it from manipulating your behaviour
The unconscious mind has a major impact on food and eating habits. This is something which a diet based on will power does not take into account. Unconscious patterns which have developed over time can take over the logical part of the mind and this is one major reason why merely restricting food does not work in the long term when trying to lose weight.
I can show you how, with the use of solution-focused hypnotherapy, we can address directly the unconscious mind and the part of your mind which creates cravings, allowing you to act in the way you would like to act when being around food. My hypnotherapy sessions work directly with your instincts and therefore you can lose weight easily in a healthy and natural way without really having to think about it.
Research shows that hypnosis allows for a greater increase in weight loss and for maintenance of that weight loss:
Two groups of people were split into weight management programmes of nine weeks duration. One group had the addition of hypnosis to their programme and one group did not. At eight month and two-year follow-ups, the group which had the addition of hypnosis to their programme showed significant additional weight loss whilst those in the group which did not have the addition of hypnosis to their programme exhibited little further change. More of the subjects who had the benefit of hypnosis achieved and maintained their personal weight goals.

In a study of hypnosis for weight loss for 60 females separated into a hypnosis group and a non-hypnosis group, the hypnosis group lost an average of 17 pounds whereas the non-hypnosis group lost an average of only 0.5 pounds.
(Cochrane, Gordon; Friesen, J. Hypnotherapy in weight loss treatment. Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 54, 489-492, 1986).
Comparing the results of adding hypnosis to weight loss treatment across multiple studies showed that adding hypnosis increased weight loss by an average of 97% during treatment, and even more importantly increased the effectiveness POST TREATMENT by over 146%.
