Compulsive eating, also known as emotional or binge eating, can significantly impact on the quality of life, both physically and emotionally. It generally presents as a response to emotional triggers, rather than physical hunger, and frequently results in consuming large quantities of food, often in a short period. This behaviour can disrupt daily functioning, relationships, and overall well-being. Support to overcome compulsive eating, and lose weight with hypnotherapy in Brighton is available at The Conway Practice, or remotely with Jonathan Conway by Zoom, Skype or telephone, if preferred*
Physically, disordered eating habits commonly lead to weight gain, and associated health problems. You may have found that you struggle with low energy levels and physical discomfort, all of which can reduce your ability to engage in social or other recreational everyday activities.
Emotionally, compulsive eating is closely linked to feelings of guilt, and low self-esteem. Yo-yo dieting where you alternate between depriving yourself of food, and episodes of self-indulgence, are likely to lead to regret and self-criticism, which can fuel a cycle of emotional distress and comfort eating.
Socially, this can strain relationships with family and friends. You may find yourself avoiding situations involving food or feel embarrassed about your eating habits, leading to a sense of isolation. Weight loss with hypnotherapy is a holistic process which identifies all aspects and origins of your eating dependence.*
All of these issues can be addressed with therapeutic intervention using hypnosis.* During hypnotherapy sessions with Jonathan, while your conscious mind is relaxed and receptive to positive direction, the emotional triggers to your relationship with food will be explored.* New coping mechanisms can then be introduced, including calming methods and forward-looking affirmations.* Any negative beliefs will be addressed, ultimately improving your sense of self-worth and confidence.* Relaxation techniques will enable you to reduce anxiety and stress, eliminating the reliance on food for emotional comfort, allowing you to regain control over your eating habits.*
