Weight Loss and Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis Help to Lose Weight at the Gloucestershire Hypnotherapy Clinic in Cheltenham

Most people at some point, have looked in the mirror at themselves and thought ‘I need to lose some weight’ or have put on their favourite jeans only to realise that they just don’t fit quite as comfortably as they used to. We all eat too much at Christmas, have a couple too many Easter eggs or have a bit of everything from the buffet at a family gathering. This is perfectly normal, we all do it at some point. However, getting rid of those few extra pounds to become a little slimmer, can be an uphill struggle. Using willpower alone often doesn’t work, and we all know that diets don’t work either. So what does? Well, 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.

Alternatively, if your eating habits have become a bit erratic or you find yourself comfort eating, that could be because you are under stress or have feelings of anxiety and you may be in need of hypno-analysis in order to find out why.

We all have different eating habits. Some of us prefer to have one large meal a day, whereas others prefer to ‘snack’ regularly during the day. 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.
