Weight Loss...

In the last few months I seem to have been particularly busy with weight loss clients and it is so rewarding seeing how people can change a life time of habits so quickly.  I have worked with some clients that have been sceptical of hypnotherapy at the beginning and I completely understand that - I remember those doubtful feelings of how hypnotherapy could help me from when I first went to Hypnotherapy years ago.  However, many people come to hypnotherapy when they have tried many other methods and are almost at the end of their tether with a problem - when they see the results of hypnotherapy they often comment how they wish they had tried this method first.  With weight loss it can take between 3 - 6 sessions for permanent change but rarely more,  compare this with the cost of slimming clubs, fad diets etc and the fact that you genuinely can look at food in a fresh new way permanently and its no wonder that people wish they had found hypnotherapy earlier. 
Hypnotherapy is very powerful as it can retrain your subconscious brain by providing new visualisations and triggers to old situations, for example, boredom and comfort eating is a very common problem and people almost mindlessely eat just for the sake of it.  Through different techniques hypnotherapy will provide new visualisations which will train your brain to simply not associate food with these emotions and very very quickly you find that you simply dont think about food as much.  The most common reaction I find after just one session is " I got to the end of the evening and realised I hadnt snacked all day", each subsequent session then builds on this and by session 3 - 4 most people have changed habits of a lifetime and are looking at food in a completely fresh way.
