Hypnosis has been shown to be an effective aid in the process of weight loss, according to the Journal of Clinical Psychology. In cases in which eating patterns and habits are the true cause of weight problems, hypnosis and hypnotherapy can help to change eating patterns at the subconscious level. By addressing the root cause of these weight problems at the subliminal level, lasting change can take place.
The main objective of hypnosis for weight loss is to change a person’s perspective or attitude concerning their eating habits and lifestyle. The subconscious mind does not know the difference between reality and fantasy. Therefore, introducing it, through hypnosis, to new perspectives can change its outlook dramatically. That is one of the reasons that weight loss hypnotherapy training is becoming increasingly popular.
One of the main ways that a hypnotherapist can begin to change a person’s perspective is through a technique called disassociation. Under hypnosis, it is easy to disassociate a person from his thoughts and even the concept of his body and eating patterns . . . demonstrating to him that he really is just the observer of his thoughts, not the thoughts themselves.
Reframing is another technique that is helpful for anyone wishing to lose weight. People believe the stories that they tell themselves. Much the same way as when we associate ourselves with our thoughts, So, one of the fastest ways to change weight loss issues is to tell yourself a new story. An example of this might be changing the premise of “I think I must be addicted to chocolate” to a new one like “in my past, I have been challenged by chocolate”.
By using hypnosis to lose weight, you are, in essence, reprogramming your mind. Most authorities believe that it takes at least 21 days of constant reprogramming to achieve long term results. Therefore, if you are going to use a hypnotherapist to assist you, one of the most critical factors would be having a good rapport with your therapist. So if you believe that this person can help you . . . they most likely can. On the other hand, if you don’t, then they probably cannot be effective for you.
It goes without saying, that one Pilates workout won’t give you 6 pack abs. And one hypnosis session alone won’t change your eating habits or self image issues either. However, by silently repeating positive affirmations for 15 minutes per day — while in a highly relaxed state — can positively impact your view of food and your relationship towards it.
Hypnotherapists typically utilize the power of symbolic imagery to reinforce behavior changes. So, if you can imagine it, it can happen. By imagining a day of healthy eating . . . or even a lifestyle of healthy eating . . . helps you to envision the necessary action steps to become a healthy eater. Most people tend to achieve what they believe they can achieve.
Imagine hypnosis actually helping you lose weight — because it does. By the way, did you know that hypnosis predates calorie and carb counting by a few hundred years? And according to Harvard Medical School, if you can add relaxing “trance” techniques to your weight loss efforts , it can help you lose weight — and keep that weight off.
The proper weight loss hypnosis/hypnotherapy program should be safe, natural, comprehensive, and powerfully effective. In addition, it will help you discover and change your subconscious emotional triggers — the deep seated behavioral patterns that contribute to obesity and poor self-image.
But effective hypnosis techniques, whether it be hypnotherapy for weight loss, self hypnosis for weight loss, or hypnotherapy courses; all have one thing in common: the individual’s desire to actually take action and lose weight. That first conscious action step has a very powerful effect on the subconscious mind where the actual change needs to take place . . . and to bring about desired results.
