Five Things to Know About Weight Loss Hypnotherapy

In the past few years, humanity’s quest for growth has yielded a lightning fast advancement. But this advancement has not come at the cost of a normal lifestyle, it has catalyzed an already unhealthy lifestyle. And it is due to the same fast lifestyle that a plethora of diseases has gripped us- obesity being the most common. Unhealthy eating habits, lack of regular exercise, and excessive consumption of junk food; we are aware of the myriad dangers it poses to our bodies and yet, we find it very difficult to break away from the temptations of such consumption habits. In such a scenario, where the root cause of the problem is our inability to restrain our minds from a toxic habit, merely the knowledge of the existence of the cure isn’t likely to help.

Therefore, there have been developments in science, which seeks to assist in breaking the mental constraints which hold the physical self back. This is the science of weight loss hypnotherapy. It is a technique, whereby therapists use hypnosis as a tool to help weight loss. Here are five things that you should know about weight loss hypnotherapy, and how it can be helpful for you. 

1. What is Weight Loss Hypnotherapy?

Hypnosis is a method by which your mind can be put in a state of total relaxation. As a result of hypnosis, a therapist is able to tap into your subconscious state of mind. It has been theorised and subsequently experimented, that the brain is more receptive in a state of hypnosis. Through this, it becomes easier to change certain beliefs, which have gripped your mind and are preventing you to get positive things done. In other words, through hypnosis, you can rewire the subconscious with positivity. In the context of weight loss, such a technique can motivate you to exercise daily, take a balanced diet and control your impulses to eat junk food. It can bring about a change in your attitude, which would render you more willing to undertake rigorous physical programmes in order to attain fitness.

2. How does Weight Loss Hypnotherapy Work?

Hypnosis acts more like a guided meditation, rather than a magic trick. In some ways, it is making yourself navigate deep within your own subconscious, with the help of another conscious brain, that is, your therapist. A typical hypnotherapy session begins with the establishment of your personal goals before your therapist. Then, the process begins with bringing your mind to that relaxed, focused state, with your therapist speaking in soothing tones. Once you have entered into that space where your brain is more receptive, then the rewiring process begins, with your therapist suggesting to you how you can change certain toxic habits. It is somewhat like, these ideas are already in your head, but through this process, there is firm implantation, and then this is the thought which will drive you in your normal state.

3. Who can use Hypnotherapy?

This method of assisting weight loss can be used by anyone. Certainly, there are people reported to have responded better to the treatment than others, but that’s the case with any technique. However, the key point here is that this process is time consuming so if anyone is looking for instantaneous results, this process won’t prove to be helpful. But, anyone who needs help with their weight loss journey can try it for once.

4. Benefits of Weight Loss Hypnotherapy

At this point, the pressing question in your head is – “Does this really work?” And if the data collected over the years is to be believed, then yes, it does work. The important thing to remember here is that this method is supposed to be used in combination with a properly planned exercise schedule and diet chart, depending upon the individual. The whole point of this exercise is to help you overcome the limitations your brain is placing on your body. It will fulfil that but without the elements of exercise, the physical change simply cannot be brought about. Hypnotherapy will change how you view food, and with it, it will make you feel good about consuming healthy. It will motivate you to feel positive about physical exercise, and you will start seeing the point more clearly, in putting your body through the pain.

5. Risks Involved

Since this process isn’t about following any pre-determined theory, it is about an individual person’s subconscious, there are a few associated risks. The presence of a well-trained therapist is extremely essential. While using hypnosis to treat mental health issues, there have been cases of false memory creations, as well as uncovered past trauma. So it proved to be detrimental, instead of helpful. Therefore, a caveat to consider here is that of a qualified therapist.

In order to render oneself capable to compete in this extremely rapid world, one has to stay fit and healthy. And the mind has a profound influence over the workings of the physical body. So, by treating the mind right, it is possible to treat the body right. A positive mind-set will ensure you go a long way in your weight loss journey.
