There are often psychological problems associated with weight - depression, lack of confidence, low self esteem etc. Most psychological problems are resolved naturally once the weight has been lost. Often the anxiety and frustrations that cause people to over eat stem from being over weight... it's a vicious circle.

Having a negative body image can get to the very core of your self esteem, which can mean if you do not like your body, you do not like yourself. And if you do not like yourself, you may feel you are not capable of making lifestyle changes to control your weight.

Even if you start a weight loss programme, a lack of self esteem can still come into play. If you have started your weight loss plan and slip up, for example, negative self talk may come pouring out 'I have blown it as always, I might as well give up'.

How Hypnotherapy can help

if you're ready to make some fundamental changes in your life, hypnotherapy will help you to successfully restore self esteem, confidence and rebuild damaged egos. By utilising appropriate therapeutic methods a successful weight management programme can be initiated. 

Hypnosis bypasses willpower and changes the way the unconscious mind thinks. This allows eating healthily to become effortless, and is especially effective if self hypnosis is practised alongside professional hypnotherapy sessions. This works by utilising the same psychological principles you employ when mastering a new skill. If you are not able to imagine that you are going to be successful, then you are defeated before you begin. This is what happens when people undertake diets having previously failed many times before. No amount of willpower can surmount this feeling of defeatism.

Therefore, the outcome of hypnotherapy for weight control is to change your psychological mood.
