I have never had the experience of working with a person who wasn't addicted to food for emotional reasons. I was addicted to food for emotional reasons. I’m told if a person just eats unthinkingly, without an emotional connection the weight just drops off and healthy eating is quickly mastered. Not my personal experience or those of my clients!
It took EFT and self-hypnosis to cure me of my emotional need for food - as well as getting on my treadmill. It worked. It wasn't easy. I had to have the courage to look at my past and release old angers, hurts and even desires. No matter how justified I felt in holding the emotions –then - they didn't serve me now. And the solution, then, was to eat and release endorphins to feel better. You can see it was easy to get into the habit.
I no longer do this. Am I thin? No. I have a different relationship with my body. It is in good physical health and I have more important things to do than put every priority on weight loss. However I do work t it, in moderation.
The clients I see have a lot of uncovering to do to find their eating triggers. Then they have conscious changes to make in daily life. I respect them a lot because 1] I've been there and 2] constant attention to thoughts and feelings must be given for at least 6 sessions – and that’s hard work..
Some hypnotists do far more sessions than this but I feel that a good start off and self-responsibility, as well as tune up sessions if needed, is more realistic. I stay in touch several times between sessions and give reinforcement cds and subliminals for between sessions so the subconscious is constantly being given instructions for change.
What have your weight loss experiences been using hypnosis or other modalities?
