Help for weight loss, weight control and problems with food using hypnosis and hypnotherapy at 1066 Hypnotherapy
covering Battle, Hastings, St Leonards, Bexhill, Rye, Heathfield, Eastbourne, East Sussex & Kent.

Whether you wish to lose weight for a short term goal such as a forthcoming holiday, wedding or other important social occasion; or you need help with yo-yo dieting, 'comfort eating' or general over-eating; or you need help with an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia, hypnosis and hypnotherapy can help you. I have successfully treated a variety of eating disorders/problems with food at my practice just outside of battle, East Sussex and covering Hastings, Rye, Bexhill and the surrounding areas of East Sussex and Kent.

Experience shows that dieting is rarely successful because by its very nature you are forced to think about the one thing that you are trying to avoid having thoughts about ----FOOD. All those thoughts about calorie-counting, what food is 'good' and what food is 'bad' for you, what time of day is best to eat, what do you eat with what, denying yourself certain foods so you end up wanting them even more....the list is endless. It's no wonder that you end up feeling guilty and miserable, so ditching the diet after a while and returning to your previous eating patterns, and then feeling dejected and hopeless as you watch the pounds pile back on.

The only way to control your weight is for you to permanently change your attitude towards food and your eating 'habits'; only then will you be able to lose weight and keep it off. Hypnotherapy works on a subconscious level to help you to achieve the correct state of mind to enable you to do this.

I offer two different types of hypnotherapy which will help you to to resolve your problems and achieve your goal: Suggestion Therapy and 'Pure' Hypnoanlaysis.

Suggestion Therapy works very well for short-term weight loss such as prior to a holiday or a special event such as a wedding. It may also be used to reinforce a decision to opt for healthier eating habits. This method is really only suitable for those who have about a stone or two at most to lose.

However, unlike smoking, say, which is a habit and can be easily stopped by using suggestion therapy in just one Easy Smoking Cessation session, eating is actually NOT a 'habit' as you need to eat in order to survive - nutrition is a basic need. So, for people who are very overweight and/or for long-term changes to your weight and your eating patterns, we would need to uncover the underlying cause for your problems with food, whether that involves comfort eating, over-eating, binge eating, yo-yo dieting or something similar.

Comfort eating, over-eating, binge eating and similar are all coping mechanisms or "self medication" methods which people use because they have an underlying feeling of, (for example), anxiety, worthlessness, unhappiness, being out of control, being unable to cope with life and so on - you are not just feeding your body you are feeding your emotions too. In addition, all problems with food are exacerbated by anxiety and stress so if we can relieve the underlying anxiety and/or stress, for example, it makes sense that the food problem will also be relieved.

A course of 'Pure' Hypnoanalysis would be needed in order to uncover the underlying cause(s) of any problem with food. The type of therapy which is best suited to your needs can be discussed and agreed upon during the free initial consultation.
