Hypnotherapy, in my views, is a natural way to aid weight-loss, primarily because it helps to empower, reinforce and build up will power that is lacking. Building up will power helps to create a better new image, a more positive image and outlook, with reinforcing suggestions such as:

- We don’t need to eat as much,

- Be happier, more in control.

- Be more confident in your decisions

Once reinforcing suggestions are accepted, a more positive way of viewing ourselves occurs, then we become more able to develop that new image, by using hypnosis suggestibility and acceptance to aid motivation, eating right and losing weight.

Self-hypnosis, is an efficient self-help technique and can be effective using appropriate cd’s or self-hypnosis downloads by planting auto- suggestions in our subconscious, to help increase motivation to lose weight, stop smoking and reduce stress, while in relaxation or asleep.

CBT within hypnosis is also helpful in giving you a new way of being, different perspectives on your beliefs, and in motivating a new perception of yourself.  NLP can also be very effective for changing perceptions of key problem foods.

I feel that hypnosis can help with weight loss, allowing us to overcome the unconscious obstacles preventing weight-loss. We recognise that eating too much is not sensible, and we are aware that exercise and a sensible diet are important. But these are not conscious logical issues, to succeed in losing weight I feel that re-educating the unconscious mind is the way forward. That hypnosis is one of the most natural ways to lose weight, a powerful tool because its suggestibility content has and does have the potential in helping build healthy habits, thus aiding a more natural easy weight loss, with a view to keeping the weight off, a new way of being, for reinforcing a healthier lifestyle.

I believe that hypnotherapy within weight loss and in conjunction with other therapies is one of the main ways forward, with all clients but mainly with clients suffering from low self-esteem, low self-worth, body issues, habitual eating and confidence issues.
