Releasing and Managing Weight

Session InformationRequirements Suggested Reading | | 

 

As with the process of Smoking Cessation, Releasing and Managing Weight requires that the client be very motivated to change the addictive behavior. The hypnotherapist will likely use aids like Sondra Ray’s The Only Diet There Is to help the client collect appropriate suggestions that may be used during hypnosis. These are often suggestions for self-esteem and other aspects of self-empowerment. Suggestions for behavior modification (e.g., exercising, eating the appropriate foods, etc.) are given while the client is in hypnosis along with post-hypnotic suggestions for doing self-hypnosis with affirmations. Hypnotic future pacing (seeing oneself without the addiction) is also incorporated in the session.

However, the dilemma around weight often involves secondary gains (such as avoiding intimacy) for maintaining the otherwise unwanted behavior. In such cases some form of Hypnotic Parts Therapy and/or Regression work is also required for resolution.
