6 Session Weight Control Programme
If long term weight control was as easy as eating less and exercising more then there would be no need for diet plans. This programme takes a holistic approach to weight control. Yes, the ultimate goal is to lose weight but it is also about changing habits and behaviours and thought patterns. Many people, in my experience, who struggle with controlling their weight are able to lose weight, they have done it numerous times, the real problem is keeping control of their weight. This is usually due to the unwanted behaviours, habits and beliefs that caused the problem in the first place never being fully addressed. Long term weight control usually involves some kind of lifestyle change, which may include changing behaviours and habits and at times dealing with emotional issues that are responsible for keeping them 'stuck' in that never ending cycle of dieting.
Goal Setting
Being prescriptive and realistic about your goal. It is recommended that you should be aiming to lose between 1-3lbs per week. This session sets you off on the path to positive change and the achievement of your goal
Thinking about & visualising the end result.
It is much easier to achieve a goal if you are able to imagine yourself at the finish line. If you can believe it you can achieve it.
Changing Behaviours
A big part of managing weight involves choosing healthy nutritious foods instead of unhealthy foods. Also choosing to move more and actually enjoy the experience and the benefits this brings. Many behaviours are learned, so if we become more mindful of our behaviours then better choices can be made.
Weight issues are different for different people. This is why it is important to tailor the therapy to the individual client. Weight management involves identifying the issues that are preventing the person from reaching their goal. This necessitates changing beliefs and behaviours that will not only allow the them to reach their weight loss goal but to maintain it long term.
Clearing & Releasing
Letting go of what holds you back from achieving your goal. This may be emotional attachments, learned behaviours, past experiences.
Motivation & Confidence
To achieve any goal and stay motivated and focussed, it is important to believe in your own ability to get there. Hypnotherapy helps you develop that inner confidence and belief in yourself and your ability to achieve your goal.
