Can hypnosis help you lose weight?
Friday 02 May 2008
Wouldn’t it be great if you could reset your brain and wipe out all of the unhealthy eating habits you picked up over the years?
With celebrity dieter Lily Allen leading the way, there has been an increased interest in hypnotherapy recently.
A lot of people associate hypnosis with pendulum swinging charlatans – but they couldn’t be further from the truth! Hypnosis, or hypnotherapy, can be very helpful in overcoming anything from childhood traumas, addictions and phobias.
Being under hypnosis allows us to access our subconscious and address issues we usually keep locked away. Because it can change behavioral patterns and the way we feel about things, hypnotherapy can also help us to alter our attitude towards food and eating habits.
How it works:
The therapist helps the patient to achieve a state of deep relaxation, similar to when we are drifting off to sleep. They will then utter suggestions that will alter the negative mind-set that is deeply ingrained in the patient’s subconscious.
There are no psychological or physical risks associated with hypnotherapy. Many people are worried that the therapist will be able to mess with their minds or make them do something they wouldn’t usually agree to, but these concerns are unfounded.
Because you are fully aware of what’s going on at all times under hypnosis, no one could psychologically bully you into doing something you don’t want.
It is essential that you chose a hypnotherapist that you trust and feel comfortable with though, and many practitioners offer a free initial consulting session.
