WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
One of the difficulties with dieting is the well known yo-yo effect. You get all enthusiastic, go wholeheartedly into the new diet, lose some pounds, then after a few weeks, or a few months, the enthusiasm starts to slip, you’ve done really well, and you want to give yourself a treat or a day off, then that day happens once a week, twice a week, three times a week and the treat happens once a week, once a day three times a day. The pounds slip back on, the clothes slowly tighten up again, and you look in the mirror one morning and think, “I was doing so well”.
No matter what you do, how closely you stick to the diet, nothing much happens. Others manage the weight, you only manage ounces, or even gain them. Life is so unfair. or you spend the whole ‘diet-time’ thinking about food, thinking about what you can and can’t eat, counting calories, or points, or sins, until you get fed-up with the whole thing and give it up…..for awhile. And then it all starts all over again. The real reason for weight accumulation is not being addressed. One of the assumptions made is that weight is a byproduct of what you put into your mouth and how much energy you expend. The more active you are the more calories you take off; the more sedentary you are the higher your weight gain. This is simple math and its perfectly true. Why do you have so much difficulty eating less then you expend? Here is one idea that needs some thought…and exploration….that being into the subconscious mind. We may find the associations with food and ‘being good’ buried deep down. When you were good as a child, sweets, chocolate, cookies were the reward for that behaviour. So, you can assume that if you don’t get those treats, you are ‘bad’ for some reason; this is felt deep in the subconscious mind. This message is that if you eat this sort of food you are a good person: loveable and deserving of the treats. When you stop yourself from eating these ‘goodies’ your sub-conscious mind takes this as a message that you must feel bad about something. Therefore, you are driven to eat the forbidden just to reassure yourself that you really are good. |
Hypnotherapy addresses on changing your eating habits deep down in the subconscious mind. It is as if we are correcting a view of yourself (someone who is not loveable or loved) to the feeling that you are indeed special and as loveable as anyone can be.
Your diet will need to change, but by reminding you of the truth about yourself we release a power, or an energy that starts to work with you rather then against you. The Therapist installs post-hypnotic suggestions that will make it much easier for you to not only have no desire to eat the foods full of calories, but also assist you in achieving a pleasure in eating foods that are good for you that outweighs any pleasure you ever obtained from eating sugary sweet foods.
When you actually feel good about yourself you have no need to reinforce that feeling by eating quick fix foods. Wholesome, tasty, well-prepared food is what you deserve – always. I have expanded my knowledge and experience to incorporate and share with my clients the benefits of EFT and HRT. I became a Clinical Hypnotherapist under the tutelage of Dr. Leslie McIntosh, head of the Coastal Academy of Hypnotherapy located in White Rock, B.C. I am registered with the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association and the National Guild of Hypnotists; both associations are highly respected in the industry. At the Coastal Academy of Hypnotherapy we gain the understanding that all hypnosis is actually self hypnosis. Therefore, through the use of Hypnotherapy, clients are guided towards achieving their desired goals in life and as a result gain peace of mind. To be able to help others maximize their potential gives me the most satisfaction and reminds me everyday of my purpose in life. The discovery of Reiki has broadened my understanding of energy healing. Since that time, Reiki has been a focus and mainstay in my daily life. The principles of Reiki guide my work and play. |
