Hypnosis, Psychotherapy and Weight Control

More than 30 per cent of people in the western world today are overweight. This is often not particularly their fault, as the culture in which we live provides the kind of food that is unnatural for us to eat constantly and maintain a healthy weight. We are continually bombarded by advertising that is specially designed to seduce us into buying junk food. So, we build up a pattern of behaviours at an unconscious level that lead us to be overweight, when, in fact, we are often trying consciously to control our weight.

With the use of hypnosis and psychotherapy, a client can reconsider their options, examining their behaviour patterns that often are out of synch at a conscious and unconscious level. Our lifestyles are often contrary to our health and well-being and many people can not only end up overweight, but can also suffer from blocked arteries, thrombosis, heart attacks, and strokes.

Yo-yo dieting of starving yourself to lose weight and then over-eating to celebrate the loss of weight is one of the biggest causes of eating disorders today. This kind of approach to feeding has been encouraged by popular magazines and profiteering food manufacturers.

I tailor each treatment to the needs of every individual, helping them to go forward and not only change their behaviour patterns, but also implementing a different kind of lifestyle in many ways. It isn’t as hard as many people think to achieve a healthy and balanced weight and hypnosis is a particularly strong medium to help maintain that state of good health.
