Weight Loss, Hypno-Band and Hypnotherapy

Help to Lose Weight at the Gloucestershire Hypnotherapy Clinic in Cheltenham

Weight loss is probably the most common symptom that people consult me for. Everyone knows how difficult it can be to lose weight and lead a more healthy lifestyle, but it doesn't have to be.

Here at the Gloucestershire Hypnotherapy Clinic, I can help you to realise how your eating habits are affecting you and help you to change them for the better.

I am also a licensed practitioner for the revolutionary HYPNO-BAND system that you may have seen on TV or read in magazines. This programme is intended for those of you who have a lot of weight to lose, or who are considered to be obese, or are at risk of obesity. The system is also called the virtual gastric band and it enables you to eat less and feel full more quickly, it also helps you to get into a more healthy eating pattern, listening to your body and shedding those excess pounds. For more information about this system, have a look at my Hypno-Band weight loss page.

If you only need to get rid of a few extra pounds that can still feel like an uphill struggle. Using willpower alone often doesn’t work, and we all know that diets don’t work either. If your eating pattern is relatively healthy and all you need is a kick start to lose a few pounds, suggestion therapy using hypnosis can help you eat healthily and get you back into your exercise regime.

We all have different eating habits. Some of us prefer to have our 3 meals a day, whereas others prefer to ‘snack’ regularly during the day.

We all emotionally eat. Whether we are bored, stressed, frustrated, tired, upset, angry, or just fed up, a lot of us turn to food to make ourselves feel a bit better for a short period of time. This is also known as comfort eating.

Our eating patterns can be influenced by the amount of stress or pressure we feel at the time. Some people may have cravings, such as chocolate or crisps, others may go off food completely, whereas some people may binge eat in order to find some comfort from whatever is bothering them at that moment. Most of the time, once that stressful time has passed, our eating habits return to normal.

It is only when you start to eat too much or too little over a long period of time that you may develop an eating disorder.

Eating Disorder Treatment

Eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and compulsive or binge eating is not about food, its about how we feel about ourselves and is a way of coping with difficult emotions or feelings of anxiety and its about gaining back some control. You may not understand why you are feeling anxious or why your emotions are driving you to turn to food or starvation, but rest assured using the power of hypnosis and using a technique called hypno-analysis, the cause of your eating disorder can be realised and dealt with gently and quickly in only a few weeks.
