Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy for Weight Loss.
If you've been considering hypnotherapy to help with weight loss, this page will help to explain which type of hypnotherapy might be right for you.
Many people find that when trying to lose weight, they generally fall into one of two categories:
1) Those people who have a little bit of weight to lose, and are looking for a little bit of encouragement and motivation to lose weight.
and
2) Those people who have quite a bit of weight to lose, and/or feel that their weight is due to emotions, or some underlying anxiety based problem. This might be someone who feels that they 'comfort eat', or 'eat when stressed', or maybe dive into a bag of sweets or chips when they've had a bad day at work.
If you've been considering hypnotherapy for weight loss, or maybe are considering hypnotherapy for the first time, you might be surprised to hear that hypnotherapy can be used to help with both of these types of weight loss, although the type of hypnotherapy used will vary for each of those categories of weight loss mentioned above.
Suggestion Hypnotherapy (Also known as suggestion therapy)
This type of hypnotherapy is used to treat those issues that don't really have any deep underlying anxiety causing them.
Suggestion therapy can be a single session, can be very relaxing, and can help to manage some problems very successfully.
 It is best suited to you if you identify with the first category listed above, where you don't have an huge amount to weight to lose, don't feel that there's any underlying anxiety based issue, and are looking for a boost to your motivation.
Suggestion therapy can be done on a one-to-one basis with a therapist, where you will meet the therapist for a nice, relaxing hypnotherapy session (if you're in the UK, and would like to try suggestion therapy, make sure you check out the Find-a-Therapist service).
Alternatively, you could use something like a hypnosis download. Hypnosis downloads, such as Successful Weight Loss Hypnosis, can be extremely flexible, because it can be used in the comfort of your own home, at a time that's most convenient for you.

Pure Hypnoanalysis to Help With Weight Loss
The form of hypnotherapy known as Pure Hypnoanalysis might be most suited to you if you feel that there IS an underlying anxiety, or emotional issue that is causing you to overeat (as mentioned earlier, things like 'emotional eating' may fall into this category).
Pure Hypnoanalysis seeks to find the root cause of a problem. When the root cause of a problem is resolved, the symptoms (i.e. the need to overeat) can disappear, and the change is for lasting good.
Pure Hypnoanalysis is a very specialised form of hypnotherapy that can only be practiced by specially trained hypnotherapists.
If you're in the London area and would like to use Pure Hypnoanalysis for weight loss, you can arrange to come along for an initial consultation, and have an informal chat about things.
Alternatively, if you're not in the London area (but are still in the UK), but would still like to specially trained in this amazing form of hypnotherapy, make sure you check out the Find-a-Therapist service.

Pure Hypnoanalysis for Weight Loss
What is Pure Hypnoanalysis (also known as Analytical hypnotherapy)?
Pure Hypnoanalysis is used to treat the root cause of problem.
Pure Hypnoanalysis (sometimes referred to as analytical hypnotherapy) seeks to find the root cause of a problem.
It is a much more in-depth therapy than something like suggestion hypnotherapy (which is used to manage symptoms rather than resolve them).
The main benefit of Pure Hypnoanalysis is that once the root cause of a problem is resolved, the symptoms can disappear, and the change is for lasting good.
Cause and effect
Pure Hypnoanalysis works on the basis that every symptom has a cause, just in the same way that the term 'cause-and-effect' works in other areas of life.
Where the two different types of hypnotherapy differ so greatly, is the way in which they seek to help to deal with the problem.
While suggestion hypnotherapy works on the symptom, seeking to relieve the symptom for a while, Pure Hypnoanalysis looks at the root cause of the problem.
Underlying Anxiety
It is widely accepted that symptoms like panic attacks, phobias and social anxiety for example, are all different symptoms caused by an 'underlying' anxiety.
The symptoms differ simply because people handle situations differently, and so one 'underlying' anxiety might cause one set of symptoms in one person, and a completely different set of symptoms in another person.

Suggestion Hypnotherapy for Weight Loss
In contrast to Pure Hypnoanalysis, suggestion therapy can help someone who simply needs a little bit of motivation to kick-start their diet!
Relaxation
Suggestion hypnotherapy uses relaxation as a tool to help overcome a habit based problem. When your mind is relaxed, it is much more likely to accept the idea of the changes that you want to make in your life.
Modern hypnotherapy is a million miles away from the 'swinging watch' stereotypes of old TV and films... it's a real, psychological tool thast can be used to help with a whole host of problems.
An added benefit of suggestion therapy is that after the session, the person will have learned some very good relaxation techniques that they can take away with them and use in every-day life.

What Will Losing Weight Mean to YOU?
You’ve probably thought of lots of reasons that you would like to lose some weight.
Many people like the thought of looking slimmer… perhaps looking better in a swimming costume, or being able to buy some clothes that they perhaps can’t fit into at the moment.
Another big reason for losing weight might be to feel healthier, and again, this is a very good reason to lose weight.
However, people who have successfully lost weight will tell you that losing weight can have a much bigger effect on so many aspects of their lives.
The Successful Weight Loss Hypnosis Download Can Help YOU to Do FAR More Than Simply Lose Weight...
Those people who have lost weight, will tell you that life improves in so many more ways than they ever expected… and it really can do the same for YOU.
Successful Weight Loss Hypnosis Helps Where it Counts!... Just imagine...
- Feeling more confident in yourself
- Feeling more outgoing
- Being proud of yourself, and what you are achieving
- Feeling more energy
- Being able to do more things with your life
- Feeling the ‘buzz’ when your friends and family notice the changes in you
- Seeing yourself becoming fitter and healthier
- Feeling more attractive
- Enjoying being able to fit into new clothes
- Feeling more in control of your life
- Discovering and enjoying new foods
- Being able to look back at the ‘heavy’ you and feel a huge sense of achievement
- Opening up whole new avenues in your new life... new hobbies... new friends... new activities
- Feeling like a weight loss expert... and enjoy telling others how you did it
- Noticing how much life just seems to be getting better and better
…and that’s only the start!
People who have lost weight say that they just feel more accepted by people, that their social life seems to improve… they have more friends, and feel more confident and assertive, more outgoing, sexier, and… well… just happier!
It somehow just feels that they’ve been released from something that’s held them back in the past… they feel more in control, and able to achieve more things, in their social life, work life… in fact, in all aspects of their life.
There’s no doubt, that feeling more in control, free and happy in yourself, is going to improve the quality of life significantly.
With more energy, and with a spring in your step, everyday situations just seem easier and more enjoyable.
You’ll feel proud of the changes you are making in yourself, especially when you see those measurable results for yourself (maybe buying smaller clothes) or when you get great comments from family and friends who have noticed you are slimmer.
So you can probably already see how it’s possible to affect so many different parts of your life, but you might be asking… “why hypnosis?”
Why Use Hypnosis for Successful Weight Loss?
Hypnosis, put simply, is considered to be one of the most successful ways to help with weight loss. It’s one of the most natural ways to change those things that you want to change in your life… it doesn’t use chemicals, strict diets, surgery or pills… it’s a completely natural and relaxing process that harnesses and enhances the power that you already have within yourself.
Hypnosis is a calming, enjoyable and relaxing experience that can help you lose weight naturally, helping you to see weight loss as an opportunity to try new foods and drinks, and experience more out of life.
The good news is that regaining control, and losing weight naturally means enjoying those things that you like once in a while, rather than feeling the restriction of a diet... which is nice!

Why There's More to Losing Weight Than Weight Loss
Anyone who has ever tried to lose weight, and has either struggled to lose the weight in the first place, or has piled it all back on again afterwards, will realise that there's a lot more to it than just dieting...
Dieting and Weight Loss
Estimates show, that at any one time, as many as one in three of us are currently on a diet, with over half of us having dieted at some time in our lives.
The truth of the matter is that, for the vast majority of people, 'dieting' on its own just doesn't seem to work in the long term.
The question is: why not?
The answer is surprisingly simple... dieting, in essence, misses the point.
Those who successfully, and permanently lose weight, are not those who simply diet.
They are the ones who change the role that food plays in their life.
They are the ones who are motivated to lose weight, and keep it off.
Psychological Forces
While slimming / dieting alone can indeed help someone to lose weight in the short term, once the diet ends, the weight can (an often does!), creep back on.
This is because dieting alone doesn't address the person's underlying motivations.
Everyone is Different
Of course, it goes without saying, everyone is different, but generally, people will fall into one of two main categories:
1) Those people who have a little bit of weight to lose, and are looking for a little bit of encouragement and motivation to lose weight.
and
2) Those people who have quite a bit of weight to lose, and/or feel that their weight is due to emotions, or some underlying anxiety based problem. This might be someone who feels that they 'comfort eat', or 'eat when stressed', or maybe dive into a bag of sweets or chips when they've had a bad day at work.
...and that is why, where something like therapy is concerned (for example), it's not a case of 'one-size-fits-all'.
For example, a form of therapy that is commonly used for weight loss, is hypnotherapy, and even in hypnotherapy, there are many different options available.
