    10 Ways Hypnotherapy Could Help You Lose Weight

    Talking therapies at The Devon ClinicPeople ask how hypnotherapy helps people to lose weight and maintain their loss without having to stick to a strict diet. The answer is that hypnotherapy changes the way you see and think about food and exercise. The old saying a little of what you fancy does you good rings true. It is when the little becomes a lot that we need to regain control.

    Quite often, hypnotherapy is seen as the last resort for those wishing to regain control. We don’t mind this, of course, as hypnotherapy only truly works when the person is fully committed to their goal. Take quitting smoking, for example. You cannot seek treatment to stop smoking if you aren’t 100% committed because it will not work long-term, it might work for a short period, but without commitment on the clients part, it’s always going to be difficult.

    The key to losing weight is creating a deficit of calories in vs calories out. It sounds simple, but as human beings, we are not simple, take our metabolism, for example. To successfully lose weight and maintain the loss, you need to engage the mind which is far easier said than done. Hypnotherapy is an excellent tool for engaging the mind at the subconscious level.

    With that in mind, here are ten ways in which hypnotherapy can help you lose weight and maintain your goal.

     

    1. Hypnotherapy helps your subconscious mind regain control over your eating habits. If you currently feel food controls you, hypnotherapy can help you flip the switch putting you firmly back in control.
    2. It will help increase your self-esteem so that you are far less reliant on the temporary pick-me-ups that food can provide. When a person feels more positive towards themselves, they are far less likely to reach for things such as food and alcohol for comfort.
    3. If you eat through impulse hypnosis can create mind triggers so that you stop, look and listen before deciding to eat, particularly if you are not hungry.
    4. Hypnotherapy will also increase and maintain self-motivation enabling you to stay on track. Motivation is the top reason many fail to stick to weight loss plans. By utilising hypnotherapy, you will remain enthusiastic about your progress.
    5. Weight loss hypnotherapy works with underlying issues, including letting go of past trauma that may have led you down the path of relying upon food for comfort.
    6. Improving your self-esteem and control over food will also increase your motivation to participate in exercise to reach your goal. Many people struggle to exercise, but once you begin to feel better about yourself, taking this step will become much easier and even enjoyable.
    7. It is longterm. Unlike diet plans, hypnotherapy is long term and doesn’t have an expiration date. Each day you can plant new suggestions into your subconscious mind through self-hypnosis.
    8. Through the delivery of strong suggestions that you are back in control and food is no longer, the boss will help you control binge and mindless eating.
    9. Driven by focus and goals hypnosis for weight loss can help you visualise and experience your goals mentally so that your excitement to achieve them is heightened.
    10. Overall, hypnotherapy will improve your wellbeing, self-esteem and enthusiastic determination to achieve your goals.

    You may have tried other options and previously discounted hypnotherapy but have come to realise that taking back control is more about the way you think than a simple meal and exercise plan.

  • What do Coronavirus, Lockdown and Hypnotherapy Training have in common?

    What do Coronavirus, Lockdown and Hypnotherapy Training have in common?

    With lockdown restrictions increasingly being lifted across the UK many people are re-assessing how they work. For us, it has changed the way we deliver hypnotherapy training making so much more use of programs like Zoom or Skype.

    It goes beyond that though, we have found that so many people are re-evaluating the way they live their life. Some people are finding that others are coming to them for advice, help and or support whilst others are blatantly struggling.

    If you find that:

    1. You are wondering if your old job is still as satisfying as you would like it to be.
    2. You are the sort of person that people come to for advice

    Then read on.

    With mental health problems becoming more prolific as a result of Coronavirus some people will be wondering if they could help others. As a practising hypnotherapist, my workload is increasing daily as people are emerging from lockdown. This is only the beginning, commissioners I have spoken to have talked about a Tsunami of cases in the future. This isn’t just a few months worth of work, the repercussions of this will go on for years with things like OCD, health anxiety, agoraphobia to mention just a few.

    Book on Eventbrite here

    Some people naturally want to help others and people seem to gravitate towards them for help. When we have that instinctive desire to help and people naturally gravitate towards us then we may well be cut out to work in the ever-growing health and wellbeing sector.

    Hypnotherapy training isn’t the only option out there, there are many other courses ranging from training to be a clinical psychologist through to counselling training. Clinical psychology can be very lucrative but requires several years of study and then gaining experience elsewhere. Counselling isn’t as rigorous but still requires several years of training and, in my personal opinion, isn’t as effective as hypnotherapy.

    Hypnotherapy has got a bad press over the years but in reality, is just traditional talking therapy but done in hypnosis. That brings up the question, what is hypnosis? There are many and often wildly differing explanations, some of them quite humorous. The truth is that hypnosis is simply the acceptance of a suggestion. If we give ourselves a suggestion, and we accept it, it then becomes self-hypnosis. If someone else gives us a suggestion, and we accept it, then it becomes hetro-hypnosis.

    I am running a free*, online, two-hour hypnotherapy training class on Monday 22nd June. Places are limited to just 12 to allow for full interaction with people. If you would like to join us, please click here https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/107542346052

    *  Eventbrite will charge £10.00 but that will be refunded once you have completed the training.

  • Bowen Technique – Julie Flood

    What is the Bowen Technique?

    Being balanced and having our pelvic level allows our body to work at its best. If our bodies are not in balance when we walk, jog, exercise etc., we are creating more issues. Think of your vehicle. If the tires are not balanced, other issues arise and when we continue to drive out of alignment before we know it we are facing more repairs!

    If we get the tires aligned then the vehicle runs at its peak. Same as our bodies balanced with the Bowen Technique everything works at its best and our bodies health issues are given messages to repair and heal and our daily exercises are usually enhanced.

    Bowen does not just mask our pains and you have to come every week – Bowen encourages healing by balancing and correcting issues, usually within three visits then we function as we should. Those of us with chronic pain issues find great relief when balanced and when the body begins to show it is out of alignment again the technique once again relieves our pain.
