There are so many weight management programs out there, that it is really hard to know where to start. The main thing I know, is that it is more than just about what you eat; it is also about our behaviors and health overall, as well. As stated at http://win.niddk.nih.gov/, “(s)uccessful, longterm weight control must focus on your overall health, not just on what you eat. Changing your lifestyle is not easy, but adopting healthy habits may help you manage your weight in the long run.”
This is where I believe hypnotherapy can play a major role in a client’s weight management goals. By tapping into the subconscious and helping them get rid of the thoughts and feelings that they may harbor inside, that can keep them from the long lasting results they desire. In this way, most of the other forms of weight loss, diet plans and physical activity are actually targeting a totally different part of the permanent weight loss equation.
Sure diet, or better yet...eating better overall, should be part of a client’s weight control plan. I think that eating right is essential, because that what we put into our bodies, is what we will get from it. If the food we eat is bad (i.e. C.R.A.P.) then we can pretty much know this is not going to help a client be healthy; hypnotherapy with a bad diet, is definitely not going to be good I know. So yes, clients do need to be fully aware of this fact.
I also know that physical activities can play a major role in weight management for clients. I think that they will need to know that this will need to probably be another component of their long term weight loss goals as well; again, hypnotherapy without any physical activities at all, will not work well either. I think that there has to be a combination of things that happen to get the best results and I think hypnotherapy can only be one part of it; one without the others is not going to work at all.
In summation, I think that a successful weight loss plan can be achieved for the long run in a person’s life. However, the client has to know that it will have to be a totally lifestyle change many times and it will take a lot more than just hypnotherapy, or diet, or exercise, or self esteem...it will take a combination of them all in concert together. And with time and patience, I am sure that hypnotherapy sessions can be a major part of their weight control plans.
