Weight Management

 

 

People put on weight for many reasons and a well trained hypnotherapist will be able to work with the individual to bring about changes in eating and thought habits in order to bring weight under control. Most weight loss programs very often achieve temporary benefit due to the person feeling that they are missing out. With a hypnotherapeutic approach this need not apply.

 

You may need to deal with only your cravings and this may be all that is required to kick start  your own personal program. In this case you would need fewer session.

 

Another aspect which we focus upon is the idea of letting go of excess weight.

So often we have the belief that we wish to lose weight.

This is unhealthy for the mind as loss has negative associations and we tend to always want to find that which we have lost. Clients that have the idea of letting go and releasing weight find results come much sooner and easier.

 

 

A program will be devised that will help you let go of your excess weight. It will  help you enhance the choices you make about food and exercise.The program will assist you with psychological and motivational aspects of weight reduction. Its purpose is to alleviate compulsive eating and ehance the motivation to eat naturally and be able to make sensible food choices.

The program focuses solely on these aspects of weight reduction, and on alleviating your current behaviors that are the source of overeating and obesity. It is a soulution-oriented, brief method that focuses on the "here and the now" of current behaviors relating to food,eating habits and coping skills and physical exercise. It will also allow you to work at your own individual pace.

Hypnosis  CD's will be made for you to listen to  so that you can reinforce the work we do together. This will include: Sensible food choices, Creating a healthy relationship with food and motivation to exercise.

 

The program which is constructed will look towards breaking unhealthy associations which you may have towards food and any negative ideas about managing your weight.

By altering your focus you will be able to look at what you want as appose to what you do not want.

Major aspects that we will look at are your, DESIRE to let go of  the weight.

 

 

IDENTITY: Helping to let go of the belief that being overweight is who you are. We work to understand that being overweight has been a behaviour, process and belief. You can then begin to see how you may have over identified with a family member or family trait.

 

SELF ACCEPTANCE: This allows you to break any long term ideas and beliefs about being self rejecting for  being overweight. 

 

MOTIVATION: This is where we work with beliefs and ideas that develop self drive . This is to get the momentum going and keep you on track.

 

INTENTION: To enhance the strength and the pull of the desire.

 

THE WANTING: The outcome becomes more than a wishful thinking.You'll have a wanting to fulfill the intention.

 

THE CAN. The building of your beliefs and your ability to do what you set out to will allow yourself to realise that you can.

 

DEALING WITH FAILURE OF THE PAST:We will focus on any negative thoughts and feelings associated with past failed attempts to reduce weight and look at the positive benefits of having failed. This will then be used to create momentum and motivation.

 

The ALLOWING:A belief in one's capability must be followed by internal permission. You must give yourself permission to change,to undertake the project and the task to succeed,the fear of faliure will be explored as this is so very common with weight control.This step is crucial. By approaching something with doubt you will not allow or give yourself permission to achieve your outcome set goal. What will happen is that you will unconsciously, sabotage your success. We will explore any doubts that you may have.

 

DECIDE/CHOOSE: When you give yourself permission to succeed then you will make the right choices that promote and support your outcome.

 

PUT IN MOTION:Making decisions and choices is not sufficient to accomplish a result. To achieve a desired result you'll need to implement your decisions and choices with action

 

SUSTAIN THE EFFORT: Putting the plan in to motion does not bring success unless one also sustains the effort to sufficiently to reach the outcome.

 

COMPLETE:To achieve your outcome you will have to put forth sustained action to complete what you wish to achieve.In this case weight reduction. Once the project is accomplished and you have reached your target weight you will now shift to weight maintainence. In this manner you get to keep and more importantly own your results.

 

 

 

REMEMBER IF YOU ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS DONE YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS GOT. :)
