Hypnotherapy for Weight ManagementThere is considerable evidence to support the benefits of hypnotherapy as a means to support safe and sustained weight loss, including improving motivation to exercise and eat more healthily.
Hypnotherapy can help you release the reasons you hang on to, the old ways of thinking and behaviour, which can allow change to take place with relative ease. You can choose new foods more easily, choose smaller portions more easily and pay attention to your body's signals. |

The University of Connecticut USA stated the following regarding use of Hypnotherapy for weight loss:
“An analysis of five weight loss studies reported in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology in 1996 showed that the … weight loss reported in the five studies indicates that hypnosis can more than double the effects’ of traditional weight loss approaches.”
Although the effectiveness of Hypnotherapy as a support to weight loss is well documented, there is a need to ensure that it takes place in a structured way, which reflects the needs of you, the individual.
Two supportive but distinctly differing programs are mainly utilised by Paul Elsey Hypnotherapy to assist clients with weight loss:
The SMASH program involves a straight talking, supportive yet direct hypnotic and motivational approach to driving a client’s weight loss. Because of the straight talking and direct approach it may not be suitable for everybody. You will only be accepted onto the program if you:
The Virtual Gastric Band Program, developed by internationally renowned Hypnotherapist Sheila Granger in the UK, uses hypnosis to condition your sub-conscious mind into believing that a band has been placed around the top portion of your stomach in order to create a small stomach pouch thus reducing the amount of food that you need to eat in order to feel full. Because it's not a diet, you do not feel deprived, miserable or hungry, which are the issues that usually cause diets to fail. The hypnotherapy process retrains your mind to become satisfied with much smaller food portion sizes, so there is no need for more food. It changes the way you think about food leading to the weight loss you desire.
However, it must be emphasised that Paul Elsey Hypnotherapy do not take a “one size fits all approach” and a bespoke therapy plan will be made if it is felt that a specific program is not best suited for an individual client’s needs.
