Can Hypnotherapy Really Help You Lose Weight?
Hypnotherapy has been shown to help people in many different aspects of their lives, from quitting smoking to learning to relax and even helping people lose weight.
This is especially true for those who accept suggestions easily.
While this may be a rather unconventional method to lose weight it is something that is relatively easy to do, and for many it will work very well.
It is definitely something that you should look into.
The process itself is actually pretty simple.
A person goes to a qualified hypnotherapist with a desire to lose weight.
The hypnotherapist then puts the individual in a relaxed state and offers them suggestions.
These suggestions will be such that the client will only eat what is necessary for their optimal health.
They may get suggestions to start an exercise program or some equivalent.
The hypnotherapist will only provide positive helpful suggestions for the individual to help them make the changes the client desire permanent.
There are other options available for hypnotherapy, aside from an office visit.
You can purchase CD's or DVD's.
These can be listened to or watched in the comfort of your home and will help guide you into what is known as a self hypnotic state.
This way you can follow the instructions and in effect hypnotize yourself.
Regular listening or viewing will help implant the suggestions in your subconscious mind and strengthen the programming.
Please keep in mind that if you do not want to make the change the hypnotherapy will not take.
Part of the reason hypnotherapy can and does work is because many people have weight issues related to emotional or psychological concerns.
We may have been told by someone that food is good for us and we should eat to our hearts content, or asked us if we wanted to join the clean plate club or told us we needed to finish what was on our plates before we got dessert.
As I recall after my tonsils were removed, my mother asked the nurse if I would be eating soon.
The kindly nurse then told my mother not to worry as I would be eating like a horse soon enough.
Well that message was implanted into my subconscious at a young age, and while under sedation.
So while I don't look like a horse, I do have more weight than I would like.
Hypnotherapy is like any other method or technique.
If you think it can work, it will work, and if you think it can't work it won't work for you.
Much of this depends on the person and their belief systems.
It is worth a try.
If you go the self hypnosis route it won't be that expensive.
You may be surprised as to how well it works for you.
You have nothing to lose, except some of those excess pounds.
