Weight Loss Hypnosis – does it work?

Weight loss hypnosis can help you lose weight and keep it off

There are many myths or misconceptionsaround hypnosis that can cloud the very real results of weight loss therapy throughhypnotherapy

There is a very BIG difference between clinicalhypnotherapy and “stage hypnosis”

Stage Hypnosis

Stage hypnosis is a form of pure entertainment that only seeks to amuse an audience by directing willing participants to engage in what can often be silly behaviou, under the direction of a stage hypnotist.

Stage hypnosis usually takes place in a bar or pub, and the participants have usually been drinking alcohol. These subjects eagerly volunteer to be part of the show, as a way to ham it up in front of their willing audience.

Unfortunately, stage hypnosis, often seen as humiliating its subjects to get a laugh, has undermined the credibility and therapeutic benefits of clinical hypnosis, and weight loss hypnosis.

It is important that youunderstand the very cleardifferences between stagehypnosis and clinical hypnosis

Clinical Hypnosis orHypnotherapy

o Clinical hypnosis is practised all over the world, and is extensively researched. It is used for treating a vast array of psychological, emotional and physical problems.

o Clinical hypnosis is normally conducted in a private, one-to-one clinical environment. It is a collaborative and interactive therapeutic process.

o During a session, the client will enter a natural state of focused relaxation, and calm.

o Through directed dialogue and the application of various hypnotic suggestions and techniques, the client learns to move beyond their fears and limitations to achieve their specific goals for lasting self-improvement.

Stage hypnosis is a far cry from clinical hypnosis – a therapy developed over centuries to help people with specific anxieties, memory recovery, pain and much more

Weight Loss Hypnosis

Weight loss hypnosis applies all the same principles and therapies used to kick bad habits. For example, you’ve likely heard of hypnotherapy being used to quit smoking; therefore it is only logical that the same therapies be used in weight loss. However, to be more clear – when it comes to weight loss, suggestive therapy becomes more prominent.

The Gastric Mind Band – Weight Loss Hypnosis

The Gastric Mind Band is a therapy, which utilises weight loss hypnosis and other proven psychological therapies. It was developed by Martin and Marion Shirran, who over 10 years, perfected the treatment. At their Elite Clinic in Spain, Martin & Marion provide a real alternative to the NHS surgical gastric band. What you get is a surgery-free alternative that is safe and very effective.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

What is Cognitive Behaviour therapy and how does ithelp you with weight loss?

When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research has shown us that therapy is usually the most effective option. Unlike anxiety medication, therapy treats more than just the symptons. Through therapy, the patient can uncover the underlying causes of worries and fears. Patients learn to relax, and look at situations in a new, less frightening way. They develop better coping skills, along with problem-solving skills, and the therapy can provide the necessary tools needed to overcome anxiety.

CBT Therapy & Weight loss hypnosis

CBT therapy and hypnosis is combined to help treat people with overeating. Over eating is actually a state of mind, and your brain can be re-trained through CBT therapy and hypnosis, ultimiately changing your relationship with food.

Time Perspective Therapy (TPT)

TPT evolved from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). The therapy is "talk therapy", and is goal-oriented. TPT works in clinical settings as well as a self-help tool. TPT switches the focus from past to present, from negative to positive, clearing a pathway for the best yet to come - the future. TPT has worked for a wide range of people from every walk of life.

NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)

What is Neuro Linguistic Programming?

Neuro-linguistic programming. Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is an approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in California, United States in the 1970s.

Guided Imagery Therapy

Guided imagery refers to a wide variety of techniques including simple visualization and direct suggestion using imagery. This type of therapy has found widespread scientific and public acceptance, and is now being used to teach psychophysiological relaxation, alleviate anxiety and depression, relieve physical and psychological symptoms, overcome health-endangering habits, resolve conflicts, and help patients prepare for surgery and tolerate procedures more comfortably.

Mindfulness Techniques

Mindfulness therapy or exercises allow you to be able to identify, tolerate and reduce difficult, painful and even frightening thoughts, feelings and sensations. Mindfulness gives you back control over your thoughts and feelings. Rather than having the sense that you are being pushed around by your feelings and thoughts you learn to be able to have some control over them.

Pause Button Therapy (PBT)

PBT is one of the most important components of the Gastric Mind Band therapy. It provides additional thinking time, allowing a person to consider the potential consequences of their actions and adjust their behaviour accordingly.

PBT has been hugely successful in the treatment of everything from addiction and weight issues to depression, anxiety and relationship problems.

The benefits of weight losshypnosis

Weight loss hypnosis is a mind-over-body approach that helps you get a handle on eating

Re-training your brain:

Through weight loss hypnotherapy, you already have everything you need to succeed. Crash diets can literally be a thing of the past, and you certainly won't need the latest pill craze or appetite suppressant.

The brain constantlylearns even when youare sleeping…

When it comes to losing weight and keeping it off, you must trust your innate abilities.

Look at it this way – trust in yourself the same way you trust yourself to ride a bike. You may not remember the first time you rode a bike on your own or how scary it probably was, but you

kept practising until you could ride automatically without thinking about it.

The same type of concept comes into play when one is trying to lose weight. You need balance, and you need that automatic response to bad foods. Imagine for one moment, being able to easily stop yourself from eating junk food - weight loss hypnosis sets out to accomplish this.

The Gastric Mind Band – Seeing is Believing

The Gastric Mind Band has several case studies presenting incredible results from the treatment. The Shirrans base their high level of success on treating each client differently based on their own individual needs. Each client that arrives at their clinic has their own set of problems and issues; therefore, personalising the treatment has helped signficantly increase the success rate in each client.
