Hypnotherapy Weight Control Program

 

We are now known here at the Stop Partnership as specialising in weight control.   This is because in the early days we had a lot of success with weight issues and the news spread like wild fire.   The vast percentage of our clients are ladies with weight issues. 
 
We developed a twelve week plan from those early days, which addressed the old behaviours as they began to formulate again.  One session was sufficient for some, though with most the next session was necessary at some point later in the future.    With some clients it was weeks, with some years, though it seems the unconscious began at some time to reconstruct the old behaviours on occasion.  

 

We now offer a four session program which deals with all aspects of weight control on a structured basis, tailored specifically to each individual.  We hold weight seminars and moreover, are considered quite expert in our field and now train other qualified hypnotherapists in the techniques.   Of course, clients may still chose to have just one session, though it is useful to know that experience has taught us it may take as many as four for this issue.  
It is easy for us to address compulsions, temptations, binge eating and the like, in just one session, though I know at present the conscious mind may find that hard to accept.   I would love to be able to help others with this very widespread problem as you don't yet know how good you are going to feel when those negative feelings are gone.   If you would like an appointment, or have further questions, I will be delighted to speak to you on 0772 3053 177.  

 

 

General Hypnotherapy

 

Many people have misconceived ideas about hypnosis ranging from thinking the hypnotist will make you do things you don’t want to do, to controlling your mind and making you cluck like a chicken!! In fact this could not be further from the truth –

 

HYPNOSIS IS SIMPLY DEEP RELAXATION. It is not uncommon for clients to feel as though they have not been hypnotised because the hypnotist did NOT make them cluck like a chicken!! In contradiction clients will return to full conscious awareness after a session feeling bright, full of energy and often better than they have done in years.

 

Have you ever dosed off on the sofa but still been aware of all the noises around you – thinking you hadn’t been asleep but then shocked to find out that an hour has passed? If so you have been in a state of hypnosis, a state of being neither awake nor asleep where your conscious mind has drifted off but subconsciously you are still awake.

 

It is at this stage that you are at your most receptive to suggestions that will make changes to your subconscious beliefs. The hypnotist will achieve this level of consciousness to guide you towards your required goal.

 

Another misconception is that you will be telling the hypnotist all your deepest darkest secrets – you will not do or say anything you don’t want to do or say, in fact the whole session can be run content free so that your therapist need never know the full details, you know and that’s enough!

 

Throughout our life the subconscious mind stores every single thing it hears, sees, feels, tastes and smells. Naturally if we remembered everything on a conscious level we would have little time to have new experiences and learn anything new. Our subconscious takes the learning (either good or bad) and lets our conscious mind know that we should exhibit some kind of behaviour for a certain trigger eg run every time you see a spider or smoke/drink/eat in times of stress.

 

The subconscious mind is the protector and will always advise the conscious mind to do whatever is right for us according to what it has learned. Sometimes however, it needs to be re-educated, particularly when the behaviour is becoming harmful, or interfering with an individual's life.

 

Hypnosis is simply accessing the subconscious mind, removing the old program and replacing it with a new and more up to date mode of behaviour, that will be more appropriate and beneficial to the individual.

It should however be explained that this process will only work if you truly want it to. Please read the FAQ page (frequently asked questions) to learn more.
