Are you tired of battling with your weight? Worrying about your clothes size and counting calories? Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is not a miracle cure but it can help you to understand why you crave certain foods and why it can be so hard to resist temptation sometimes. Using the latest neuroscience research to explain how we form patterns of behaviour and how we can create associations between food and feeling ‘good’, helps you to change those unhealthy habits.

Recognising your own habits is key to getting them under control: do you always have a biscuit with a cup of tea or cake with coffee when you meet a friend? Perhaps you always nibble in the evenings, ‘rewarding’ yourself after a long, hard day or maybe you finish off the kids left-overs so that food isn’t wasted. We all have the capacity to make the changes we want to make, what we eat is under our own control after all!

Often when we start a weight loss diet – or any other health improving programmes, like joining a gym – we do so full of enthusiasm and motivation and get off to a good start. Seeing positive results keeps us motivated for a while but then we hit a plateau and start to think we’re never going to lose enough weight, so what’s the point? Might as well have that chocolate, cake, or chips if being ‘good’ doesn’t get results!

Hypnotherapy helps you to take charge, to maintain that positive mindset so that it is no longer about will-power, it is about how you take calm control of your mind around food in all situations. It teaches you how to adjust your thought patterns, break habits and change them for something better and long-lasting.

Understanding how the brain works also helps you to understand how you can create your own stress and how to reduce it, a very useful tool for everyone in these modern times. It is also very important with regards to weight control as we are pre-programmed to eat more when we feel under pressure, a primitive response designed to fuel our bodies to help us deal with dangerous situations.
