Weight Management with Hypnotherapy in Brighton
Many people who seek help to manage their weight with hypnotherapy, do so following failed attempts at dieting which may have been affective in the short term, but are not a lasting solution to weight management.* During sessions in hypnotherapy at the Conway Practice, your relationship with food will be addressed.* There are many reasons why you may find yourself controlled by food, instead of being totally in control over what you eat and when you eat it. Hypnotherapy can help you to understand the trigger to your overeating.*
Of course there is a connection with the choice of food and the affect it has on our weight. A great deal may depend on your parents’ eating habits while you were growing up and the eating routine within the family is likely to continue later in life as this is what is naturally perceived as normal.* A child who is forced to clear everything on the plate whether they feel full or not may well carry this subconsciously into adulthood, eating despite not being hungry.*
Compulsive eating is likely to occur during times of boredom when reaching for a snack becomes an unconscious habit that is hard to break.* Most of us find eating pleasurable and food is frequently used to cheer ourselves up if we’re feeling low or stressed as a soothing self-reward.* Comfort foods however are generally the very ones that are high in fat, sugar and carbohydrates and can all be main contributors to an expanding waistline and weight gain.*
You also may find that you eat to please others in a social situation and feel that if you don’t mirror the eating habits of the those you’re sharing a meal with, they will think less of you, or you will be the odd one out. Even with families, there may be pressure to show that you appreciate the food, by eating everything you are offered. While you are deeply relaxed under hypnosis, Jonathan Conway will help you to become aware of the reasons why you overeat or feel compelled to eat unhealthy foods.* You will be coached in relaxation techniques that you will be able to continue after the sessions whenever you need to reduce your stress levels which would have previously enticed you to reach for food.* You will have greater motivation to control your weight and your self-worth will improve, resulting in long term weight management and a healthier lifestyle.*
