Overcoming an unhealthy relationship with food is a transformative journey that involves reshaping your mindset, behaviours and emotions surrounding eating. Weight loss support with hypnotherapy in Brighton at The Conway Practice begins with understanding the origin of your eating habits, which can vary from childhood conditioning, to social isolation or emotional factors.*
Firstly, self-awareness is crucial. Recognising the negative thoughts and beliefs associated with food is the foundation for change. Identifying triggers, such as emotional states or environmental cues, helps to acknowledge the patterns of unhealthy behaviours. During therapeutic intervention with hypnosis, Jonathan Conway will help you to distinguish the difference between physical and emotional hunger.* Conscious awareness of your body’s signals will enable you to establish a more balanced perspective on food, empowering you to make informed choices to promote well-being, rather than focusing solely on weight or appearance which is often promoted by a diet culture.*
Challenging negative thoughts and replacing them with positive affirmations is another essential step. This involves re-framing beliefs about food, body image and self-worth, and will allow you to develop a healthier mindset. As with any hand-to-mouth habit, you may have little or no conscious awareness of the physical action or how much you are consuming, which often results in poor nutrition and weight gain. Hypnotherapy for healthy weight management provides a valuable source of support and guidance for your weight-loss journey.* Jonathan will introduce new coping mechanisms, distraction techniques and relaxation methods to manage the stress response, which may trigger compulsive or mindless eating.*
Practising self-care and nurturing well-being fosters a balanced approach to maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding bouts of ineffective yo-yo dieting where a cycle of overeating is followed by food restriction and skipping meals. By implementing these steps and committing to personal growth, hypnotherapy can help you to overcome your reliance on food as a coping mechanism and enable you to embrace a healthier, more balanced lifestyle*
