Weight loss with hypnosis in wokingham, Reading, Woodley, Berkshire

Gain control over binging & overweight issues/ Break the vicious cycle of losing and regaining weight over the years!

Hypnotherapy & NLP works in helping you not lose the weight because you already know what to do for that! Hypnosis and NLP helps you maintain the figure and lifestyle you work hard to get and then keep losing every time after a few months or years. My clients are normal people who are fed up with losing the weight via hard discipline over their eating and dieting habits and finding they sabotage themselves within a few months by the old habits of binging and lack of control coming back!

I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist & NLP Therapist with 10yrs of experience so can mainly explain how Hypnosis andNLP help people fighting their weight issues and binging issues in Reading, Wokingham, Woodley, Berkshire.

Let’s start dreaming for a little while that you are already the size you wish to be.Look into your eyes and find out if you believe the image you are looking at? Most people with weight issues come from category two of people with weight loss problems; category one clients are people who have recently put on weight , after a big stress, birth of thier child, a bereavement or a depressive phase in their lives; their deep beliefs about themselves is very good and they love the person they are and have been over the years. but lately the image got shaken and their destructive habits of over eating or binging is not going away. These clients are out of the door within 3-4 sessions of hypnosis and ready to shed off the extra weight and regain good eating, exercise and diet habits, because they bounce back to their original self image and self belief about their self worth and right to be pretty, great, gorgeous and healthy!

Category two clients are people who consciously work really hard at losing the weight but deep down they do not hold a high self belief and self image of themselves! They usually come for hypnosis/Hypnotherapy after two or three episodes of working hard with self help, weight loss programs etc...and then putting the weight back on. They realise that despite their conscious will and motivation to lose weight and feel good, there is something that is unconsciously sabotaging them. as they will put it ," it is as if another part of me is controlling me when i open the fridge." "it is as if another voice in my head saying, go on you need it , even after several packets of crisps"

How does Hypnotherapy/Neuro-Linguistic Programming help with weight loss? Hypnotherapy and NLP target the unconscious brain where our habits and instinctive responses are stored and triggered e.g. from breathing to cycling to driving, all these good habits become unconscious and effortless with time and practice. The same process works for bad habits like smoking, binge drinking, alcoholism, overweight issues.

Simply because our habits become unconscious with us as the days change into months and then years and this is true for both good and bad habits.Take driving, take cooking, and take dancing for example…. You start doing it consciously, with effort and concentration then gradually as you become competent these habits become unconscious with you and you drive, dance or cook without even thinking or putting any effort. The same happens for bad habits like snacking after dinner or having cup of coffee at bedtime or that first cup of tea in the morning.Logically we know we do not need that cup of tea or that snack or that cigarette, yet unconsciously for our brain it has become a source of comfort, relaxation, stress-release,freshness or just “normal” as part of our routine.

Why is Hypnotherapy so effective in helping you become as well as stay with weight loss? what would hypnosis give you that dieting and exercise cannot give you? Because Hypnotherapy works with the unconscious mind which believes and feels whatever is the internal experience of the person overeating, believing you are not worthy enough or lovable enough have become deep rooted habits and no matter how much you fight these beliefs consciously, the subconscious will still want to keep the status quo and thus sabotage your efforts somehwere down the line.The food intake, the weight gain started years ago by becoming pleasurable directly or because of the gratifications it was giving you: social acceptance, belongingness, stress relief, looking good, feeling more confident, staying silent, repressing vulnerable needs etc… now that you want to change the habit what about the need it was covering? where are you going to get the sense of self love from? where are you going to get self worth from? how are you going to meet the needs for belongingness? how are you going to cope with vulnerable needs and fears? the more you try to avoid it and resist it, the more your unconscious brain is feeling alarmed and triggering the tension in your body and mind. The more the tension… guess what? The more the need for food and weight gain to reduce that tension… then the guilt for having had yet another one chocolate, another crisp increases the resistance …and then guess what? The cycle of tension/resistance and then giving in/indulging into another bout of binging carries on.

As your Hypnotherapist in Reading, Wokingham and Woodley, covering Berkshire my job is help your unconscious mind lose that trigger from deep within. Once the unconscious brain learns to look at food as just physical things sitting on the shelf and has no reaction to it, you find that you stop seeing, smelling or thinking about food all the time, just like a normal eater who only remembers food when the belly rumbles and reminds him he need to have lunch/dinner.

For people who smoke in Reading, Wokingham, Woodley and Berkshire areaweight loss sessions last 1-1 1/2 hours, where you work with Hypnosis and NLP techniques over 5-6 sessions to work on changing the habits from your unconscious, working on the secondary gains from the weight gain and reprogramming the unconscious with healthier ways of meeting those needs as well as setting new habits and patterns deep in your subconscious brain so that your conscious efforts meet with subconscious approval and motivation as well.

Your investment as a binging person to become a Non binger and lose weight and gain health and a good figure with Hypnosis/Hypnotherapy is probably what you spend in a month on food and binging!! before you start the next cycle of exercise and dieting, might it be a good idea to check your belief system and your unconscious gains and motivation behind putting the weight back? so that this time around the change is long lasting and effective with hypnosis, exercise and dieting all together?
