Understanding and recognising the triggers that lead to uncontrolled eating is a pivotal step in cultivating a healthy relationship with food. Overeating is often not just a result of physical hunger; it is intricately linked to emotional, environmental, and psychological factors. By identifying these subconscious cues, proactive steps can be taken to address the root causes of disordered eating and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Holistic intervention for weight loss with hypnosis in Brighton is available at The Conway Practice, or during remote sessions with Jonathan Conway by Zoom, Skype or telephone.* Hypnotherapy takes into consideration the origin of your eating habits and the part that food now plays in your life.*
Emotional prompts have a significant role in compulsive or mindless eating. Stress, anxiety, loneliness and boredom can all contribute to the desire to seek comfort in food. Recognising these emotions and finding alternative ways to cope, can help to break the cycle of self-reward which is commonly closely followed by feelings of guilt and regret.
Environmental triggers, such as the presence of tempting foods or social situations centred around excessive eating, can also lead to overconsumption. Understanding the difference between physical and emotional hunger can be liberating. During early childhood the discipline of clearing everything on the plate can continue to remain as a natural response to food later in life, even when you feel full. Hypnotherapy will enable you to address these pre-learned beliefs and to make healthy nutrition choices.*
Support to lose weight with hypnosis avoids the rotation of yo-yo or crash dieting, which is unsustainable in the long term and frequently results in disappointment and a sense of failure.* Negative beliefs, thought patterns and attitudes about food, body image, and self-worth can contribute to a dysfunctional relationship with eating. During hypnotherapy sessions with Jonathan, positive affirmations and distraction techniques can be introduced, together with new coping methods.* Relaxation routines will reduce stress and anxiety, eliminating the emotional attachment to food as a pacifier.*
Hypnosis is a relaxing experience, similar to a pleasant daydream where you are unaware of outside distractions* You will remain completely in control throughout the therapeutic session while your mind is focused and more open to positive suggestion.*
