How To Choose A Weight Loss Hypnotherapist


By Anita Ortega


Losing weight can be difficult. In the short term a person can be determined to achieve a goal. They may want to fit into their wedding dress or suit. They may want to look go when they go on vacation. However the short term approach inevitably leads to more weight gained in the long term as people lose focus. One way to maintain focus and not put on any more pounds is to use the services of a weight loss hypnotherapist.

The crucial thing to realise is that hypnosis is not about doing things against your will. People often associate this with cartoons and being told to do the biddings of a villainous magician. In reality hypnosis is often used as a tool to help people achieve things that they have been looking to do for themselves anyway.

However there is nothing to stop you having that relaxing moment in your day with something healthier. Part of the role of a hypnotherapist is to look at the reasons behind your behaviour. Once this has been established it then becomes easier to find ways of removing that association and replacing those habits with better ones.

The good news is that with a change of approach you can create more positive routines to replace unhealthy vicious circles. In the case of diet it is about finding a healthier substitute for an unhealthier snack. For example if you enjoy pasta then using less oil and not topping the pasta with cheese is often a good start.

The difficulty comes after you have met this short term goal. Inevitably the praise from friends and family after you have achieved your goal will stop. The period after this initial success is often the key period for a diet or exercise regime as this is the test to see how sustainable it really is.

Unfortunately a lot of the time it is more the loss of motivation rather than the diet or exercise that is at fault. Therefore a better approach is to change your mental perspective in the long term. Often these psychological traps can be in our minds for long periods of time. For example a lot of people may go for drinks after work and consider their glass of beer or wine as a reward for a hard day of work.

What a professional hypnotherapist will do is get their patient to remove certain associations. For example they may often turn to cakes because they remember their mother baking them and making it for them when they felt sad. Therefore there is a subconscious association that this comfort food is linked with that memory. With hypnotherapy it is possible to disassociate the two things and get people to recognise that the cake is only personal to them because they have given the food that symbolic comfort value.

You can find a number of hypnotherapists in the Easchester NY area by using your regular search engine. When looking up a therapist be sure to check their credentials and learn a bit more about their background. It is also recommended that you get feedback from people who have used their services in the past to see whether or not their services offer the best long term results.
