Help to lose weight with hypnotherapy in Brighton at The Conway Practice can be the first step in understanding the origin of negative eating habits.* During therapeutic intervention with hypnosis, Jonathan Conway will guide you to recognise the subconscious triggers related to compulsive eating.* This behaviour can commonly be traced to experiences and influences during early childhood, and these can contribute to patterns of eating that continue into adulthood as an emotionally driven food dependence.
Food may have been offered as a reward for good behaviour, or to sooth difficult emotions. This can result in comfort eating as an emotional relief rather than physical hunger, when food becomes a way of managing uncomfortable feelings and situations. On the other hand, if food is limited during childhood or used as a form of discipline for bad behaviour, the impulse to overeat may become stronger if you have learned that food is related to guilt and emotions, reinforcing comfort eating.
Hypnotherapy is a holistic process where these associations can be identified and addressed by introducing new coping mechanisms, while replacing negative beliefs with positive affirmations.* You will learn to respond to stress, sadness, boredom, or low self-esteem in a healthier way, and avoid cycles of dieting which are not sustainable long term, and generally result in periods of overeating when the diet fails.
However, compulsive eating isn’t triggered by childhood influences alone. While you are deeply relaxed during hypnosis, and your mind is more receptive to positive direction, Jonathan will help you to become more aware of the subconscious prompts which are responsible for a negative relationship with food.* The origin of the triggers can be tracked and managed with stress-reducing methods and distraction techniques, enabling you to develop healthier ways of responding to difficult emotions.*
