Hypnotherapy – The Last Resort?

How many people consider hypnotherapy as the last resort treatment for dealing with their issues?  They may start with trying to sort out their issue for themselves and then, if that doesn’t work, they might go and see the doctor.  If that isn’t the answer, they may get sent for cognitive behaviour therapy or counselling.  If all of that doesn’t work, they may finally think about hypnotherapy.

However, a study by American Health Magazine in 2007 reported the following findings:

•  Psychoanalysis: 38% recovery after 600 sessions
•  Behaviour Therapy:  72% recovery after 22 sessions
• Hypnotherapy: 93% recovery after 6 sessions

No therapist can guarantee success but these are compelling results.  As the magazine article ( http://bit.ly/ze9Nbi )points out “Hypnosis is a special form of communication to the subconscious mind where habits are established and memory is stored…The hypnotherapist helps you connect with your subconscious mind, which puts YOU in control of your subconscious mind – the most powerful and empowering aspect of your brain.”

A recent BBC Horizon programme, ‘Out of Control?’, confirmed that our subconscious minds are influencing our decisions on issues from what you eat to who you fall in love with http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01dlglq Over 90% of our actions everyday are controlled by our subconscious minds so it makes sense that a therapy that harnesses the subconscious would be very useful.

So, if you are having problems with weight, smoking, an unwanted habit or something else, think about hypnotherapy.

Why Hypnotherapy for Weight Loss Produces Lasting Results

by Adam Cumberland GHR MNLP

Losing weight is something that unfortunately does not come easy for some. Some people succeed in shedding those extra pounds, but after a while, lose control again and find themselves back where they started. But there are also some who give up suddenly in the middle of their programme because they feel that none of the dieting or the exercising is producing any positive results. 

What you must always remember is that weight loss begins with what you THINK and BELIEVE. The common belief is that dieting and exercising will ultimately result in weight loss. But why don’t they work for other people? There are three possible reasons why exercise, pills or diet programmes don’t work for you. 

One is emotional eating. So many people who aim to lose weight often carry negative emotions about the way they look. If they start on a diet or an exercise programme and they feel that it is not working, they get frustrated and it will then lead to more extreme reactions like hopelessness, insecurity or anger. With these emotions, they tend to binge or gorge on too much food, allowing the weight they lost to build up again. So no matter how much you exercise, if you binge on too much unnecessary food at the end of the day, then your workout will be useless. Another one is misconceptions. 

One of the typical reasons why diet programmes don’t work is because of the false ‘belief’ that the results of diets are permanent. Some people, once they have lost weight, tend to go back to their unhealthy habits. You must always remember that diets need continuous maintenance in order for the results to stay, thus nearly all diets fail to create lasting results.
