What is weight loss hypnosis?

For people who struggle with losing even a little bit of weight, the entire process of trying to keep the weight off can sometimes be disheartening. It is not uncommon for people to find that it’s easy to shed the first 2 or 3 pounds, and after that the weight just doesn’t go down at all. No wonder then that diets always find a huge following, irrespective of whether they are good for the body or not. Weight loss through hypnosis is still a much debated issue. There are many who believe that hypnosis can help a person lose weight the right way whereas there are others who feel that hypnosis itself is just ‘ playing around with the mind’.
Hypnosis in real life as practiced by licensed doctors is nothing like what you may have seen in the movies. There is no swinging pendulum or series of moving images designed to lull you to sleep. Hypnosis therapy deals with leading a person into a state of ultimate relaxation, where the person’s mind is susceptible to suggestions or advice from external agents. Hypnosis itself is serious and is often used as an alternative form of treatment to control behavior, cure addictions, control bedwetting and so on. So does hypnosis work for everyone? Before commencing such a treatment, doctors usually conduct a hypnotizability test to check the capacity of a person to become hypnotized in the first place. People who score 0-1 are termed Apollonians and are not responsive to hypnosis. Those who score 2-3 are called Odysseans and can take part in hypnosis therapy. On the other hand, Dionysians who score 4 make the best candidates for such a therapy because they usually go into a trance in no time.

The guiding thought behind weight loss through hypnosis is the fact that in such a relaxed state the doctor can suggest positive information which is beneficial to the person. Negative or self destructive thoughts can be removed as long as the person remains open to such feedback. For instance in such a session, the client and the hypnotist first create a nutrition and exercise plan. During hypnosis, the client accepts instructions which may enable better control over snacking and lifestyle habits. Through the power of suggestions itself, other bad habits can be significantly reduced or removed entirely. Hypnosis brings about such a high degree of relaxation that patients are likely to find themselves less anxious and stressed out about small things in life. When the desire to make certain lifestyle improvements meets the right frame of mind, it can result in high benefits and lots of positive improvements in the person’s life.

Proponents of such weight loss through hypnosis therapy often advocate that we all need a boost or encouragement to continue on the road to weight loss, every now and then. After all, different forms of relaxation and intense concentration such as yoga, meditation and even hypnotism have been around for centuries. Studies are still being conducted into how and why it works, but people who have tried it claim that after sessions they become stronger and are less likely to deviate from the path of healthy living. Weight loss through hypnosis opens up many more possibilities, which are yet to be completely understood and appreciated.

    Weight Loss Hypnotherapy does work. I can say from my own experience hypnotherapy for weight loss does really work, i know that because i have had it done after struggling with my weight for many years.

    I must admit before I heard a radio broadcast on the BBC with Claire Hegarty who was invited on the show for being an leading expert in Weight loss hypnotherapy, i would have said to anyone who suggested that i was hypnotized for weight loss, not to be so stupid. But after struggling with my weight for many years and where my weight went all the way up to 22 stone, i listened to the show after becoming despearate and found it very interesting.

    I had tried everything to lose weight, i went on loads of diets, i went to my doctor time and time again and he was not interested, i even asked if i could be given a pill that doctors give out for weight loss but he refused so i was now desperate and would have tried anything.

    After listening to claire hegarty on the show and listening to what she had to say about hypnotherapy, i decided to contact her through her website, now you have to understand at this time i was still not believing hypnotherapy could help you lose weight but i did want to know more.

    She explained all about hypnotherapy and weight loss and how it works to help you lose weight and i was very interested and started to feel maybe their is light at the end of the tunnel, maybe i can get back my ideal weight. I agreed to meet her and after getting on well with her i became her client. And i have to say, that i am so happy that i am now four stone lighter and still losing weight.

    So what i have to say to you is, do research by all means into weight loss hypnosis, but it does work and do go to an expert and see the diference it will make to your life as it has made a huge difference to my life but make sure that they are an expert. Just because they do hypnotherapy, it does not mean they are an expert in hypnotherapy weight loss
