Does Weight Loss Hypnosis Really Work?

Many people who want to lose weight have already tried a variety of weight loss products or diet protocols before deciding to try hypnotherapy.  Generally, these failed attempts have left them feeling even more discouraged about their ability to take control of this area of their lives.

Hypnotherapy assists in increasing a person’s potential to achieve their goals in this area by addressing issues surrounding self-esteem and body image, as well as increasing their confidence levels and resolving conflicts between conscious and subconscious motivators.

Once a person is fully committed to working with a practitioner to address any underlying behavioural patterns or belief systems that are holding them back from making progress, hypnotherapy can help address issues surrounding:

  • Body image
  • Achieving and maintaining an ideal weight
  • Making changes in diet
  • implementing achievable exercise routines

How Can Hypnotherapy Help Me to Lose Weight?

Self Esteem & Body Image
Self-esteem can be negatively impacted from a very young age from messages received from family, friends and popular media. Many people with compulsive behaviors surrounding food often report feelings of shame and guilt which contribute to decreased self-esteem.

With hypnotherapy, the therapist can assist the person to improve their sense of self-confidence and self-esteem, shifting the way they view themselves and their bodies.

Conscious and Subconscious Motivators
Conscious and subconscious motivations may not always be aligned. A person who has made the conscious decision to lose weight may still continue to make choices around food that undermine that goal. This is because there may be subconscious motivations that the person is unaware of.

These are often connected with a desire to meet our basic needs such as, comfort, pleasure, or safety. A conflict can arise when an attempt is made to change the behavior which has been meeting these needs. Hypnotherapy can help a person identify these unconscious motivations and find healthy alternatives to meeting those needs.

I am still blown away by my experience with Julie. I had always considered myself too "rational" for hypnotherapy, placing it in to the woo-woo category of self-help. But this was a massive misunderstanding on my behalf that I now feel incredibly foolish about. Working with Julie was an absolute delight. She was knowledgeable, calm and - most of all - insightful. She has helped me a great deal, and I highly recommend her & her practice. If you're on the fence about hypnotherapy, I encourage you to give it a go with an open mind.
