Difficulty in controlling our weight is a very common problem and it is generally understood that diets are not a very effective way to lose weight, or to keep it off. Firstly this is because of the way the body works when it is deprived of food. And secondly, by trying to control and minimise our eating habits, we are taking an unconscious impulse and making it conscious which then creates an internal tug of war we can’t win. Have you ever won a game of noughts and crosses with yourself? With Hypnotherapy we can work to put the eating impulse back into the unconscious mind where it belongs and can give your unconscious mind direct instruction about what you would like for yourself. While this does not make hypnotherapy a miracle cure, and the work requires your commitment and motivation, alongside confidence building, it can be an effective way to help you manage your weight.
The number of sessions required will vary from client to client depending on your circumstance and upon your motivation. With some it will be sufficient to deal with the habits leading to the problem and with others it may be necessary to explore a bit. It is likely that you should see some improvement after about 3 sessions but this will vary considerably.
