Hypnotherapy and Weight / Eating Issues
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 learn to respect their food, and more importantly, to respect themselves.
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 psychological desire to overeat.
 I went to Paul for some advice on giving up smoking and controlling my excessive eating habits.
Many months down the line I can safely say I haven't touched or wanted to touch a single cigarette.
In addition to this my life has been completely turned round in view of why and how much I eat.
I am now a positive person who enjoys all aspects of my life. I would recommend Avon hypnotherapy to anyone, if you're lucky like me, you will get more out of it than you could ever hope for.

Hypnosis and hypnotherapy for weight loss.
This is where using hypnosis and, more specifically, analytical hypnotherapy can help with weight loss.
Analytical hypnotherapy for weight control is geared towards finding the reason why a person is repeatedly feeling the need to overeat - whether it be due to:
- Compensation eating - and this is really 'comfort' eating and should be viewed as overeating to fulfill an emotional or psychological need. Eating because of stress can also come into this area, as can eating to make you 'feel better'.
- Reward eating (and this can still fall under the umbrella-term of compensation eating). Typical examples would be: 'I've had a great day - so I'm going to treat myself - even though I know I shouldn't really have it' ... or ... 'I've had a really bad day - where's that maxi-pack of crisps?'
- Feeling the need to be noticed and larger than life.
- Wishing to erect a 'barrier', that will (subconsciously), push other people away.
Self image.
Another common reason that people give as their reason for wanting to lose weight, is that they 'feel fat', or 'enormous', when in reality they're not really overweight at all.
The problem here, of course, is usually self-image. Again, this is something that can be addressed, and yes, analytical hypnotherapy can help with this too.
Hypnotherapy (hypnoanalysis) can help with weight loss.
Treatment using hypnotherapy for weight loss, can give very rewarding and satisfying results.
If you suffer with weight issues, and want help to lose weight, and especially if it's causing problems in your life, then don't suffer in silence.

I remember that first hypnoanalysis session that I had with Paul.
I was anxious and wondered if this man was going to be able to help me.
After many years I had finally realised and accepted that there were some areas in my life that I needed to change. I believed that I was a born worrier. I always dwelled and clung onto the littlest things that many 'normal' people would not even spare a thought to.
I had finally realised this and knew I did not want to continue day to day with these things bugging me.
When I look back now I am amazed at how much my hypnotherapy sessions with Paul have helped me. Within minutes after meeting Paul I was at ease and felt very relaxed and comfortable. For once in my life I felt that this time was about ME.
I looked forward to every session, I found it so easy to talk to Paul and I knew I could trust him. Paul has helped me see things so much more clearly.
He was always prepared and ready to move me on gently. These days I can't believe that I can actually say 'sod it' to things that once bothered me. At last I am free and so much more confident.
My husband has certainly commented on how much more assertive I have become.I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart Paul. If only the world was full of more genuine, caring people like you.
Without any doubt I will always HIGHLY RECOMMEND you because you quite simply are the best. Sometimes words don't do it justice. Thank you.
