Losing Weight With Hypnotherapy
How Can I Lose Weight With Hypnotherapy?
We offer a programme for weight-loss of between four and six sessions, supporting you for a period up to four months.
We use what is known as a ‘mindful’ or ‘conscious eating’ approach to slimming which is not based on dieting, but on slowing down your eating, savouring your food and tuning into the feelings in your stomach.
It combines coaching and self-help techniques with hypnosis/deep relaxation to embed new habits of eating at a deep level. CDs are provided to support you between sessions.
How Will The Aspire Slimming Programme Help?
- By slowing down your eating and eating consciously you will enjoy your food more but will eat less
- You will give your body time to digest food more efficiently
- You will become more aware of a feeling of fullness in your stomach and only eat what is necessary
- You will find yourself reducing your portion sizes, snacking less and eating more healthily
- You will learn techniques for dealing with cravings
- You will no longer get caught up in ‘yo-yo’ dieting which can result in a feeling of failure when you put the weight back on
- You will eat for the right reasons, not for emotional reasons such as stress, loneliness or boredom
- You will want to take greater care of your body and will have the motivation to be more active and to exercise
- You will be embarking upon a sustainable and life-long change in your eating habits.
Mindful Eating
The mindful eating approach is not a ‘magic cure’, but is a sustainable approach to weight management which is not concerned with deprivation but with the pleasures of eating.
It has gained a lot of support from recent expert research and was popularised by Paul McKenna in his television series and book. It does require self-awareness and self-discipline but provides an alternative to the yo-yo effect of dieting.
Our clients have enjoyed the sense of control which it brings into their lives and find it can bring about other beneficial changes in their life-style.
It can lead to substantial weight-loss, particularly when combined with increased exercise, but is also useful for those people simply wishing to manage their weight more carefully and bring greater balance into their lives.
If you wish to discuss how the programme might work for you or would like to book an initial consultation, phone or email us at Aspire Therapy Manchester.
