There are many reasons why people become overweight but in almost all cases, the reasons they began overeating is that an emotional event or trauma caused them to begin eating for security or protection.

How can hypnotherapy help you to lose weight?

Dieting alone will not be enough to lose weight and keep it off. Dieters often view diets as short-term and look forward to achieving their goal weight so they can return to eating 'normally'. Once they have reached their target weight, they reward themselves with 'naughty' foods that they have been craving with the obvious result.

The subconscious has a deep-rooted need for excess food because of the emotional event from the past and dieting is not the solution. The emotional event in question needs to be visited and 'fixed' before any long-term progress can be made. A course of hypnotherapy sessions will allow the subconscious to take the client back to the emotional event or events that are causing this attitude towards food.

These are the first steps in eliminating the subconscious desire for excess food. Next, a new attitude towards food needs to be created. Once the attitude has become permanent, new eating habits will have been formed and the weight will stay off.
