Holiday Hypnotherapy? Weight Loss Over the Holidays
One of the biggest reasons people gain
weight at the holidays: lack of willpower. But what if it was possible to
manipulate your willpower, making you unwavering to the temptations of the
season?
Hypnotist Colin Christopher, author of
the book Success Through Manipulation: Subconscious Reactions That Will Make
or Break You, who helps his patients lose weight through hypnosis, says
hypnosis manipulates and strengthens a person’s willpower so much, that he
guarantees anyone who uses it can lose weight this time of year when food is in
abundance.
That’s not his opinion; the stats back
it up. The Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology says that adding
hypnosis increased weight loss by an average of 97%, and increased the
effectiveness of weight loss post hypnosis by more than 146%.
So how does it
work?
· Direct access to the
subconscious –
Hypnosis allows us direct access to the subconscious, where we can replace
negative programing with positive, healthy and empowering suggestions that
increase willpower.
· Visualization – The more you see something, the
more you believe it. Visualization techniques play an important role in
hypnosis and self-hypnosis. Even taking 10 minutes each day to visualize your
long term goals of a better and healthier body can help reprogram years of
negative conditioning, and increase willpower tremendously.
· The power of
suggestion – The
power of suggestion is everywhere: daily conversations, commercials on
television and even billboards on the highway all subliminally manipulate our
willpower. A hypnotherapist, spouse or friend can offer positive and empowering
suggestions that penetrate deep into the subconscious and increase willpower.
Phrases like “Food is no match for my will” and “I will stick to my diet that
keeps me slim” work best.
· Improves confidence which increases
willpower - Hypnosis
greatly increases self-confidence, which is key for people who have failed
over-and-over again at losing weight. Confidence is increased so the patient
stops feeling like a victim, and starts feeling like a winner capable of
conquering his or her weight loss goals.
· Triggers willpower to override bad
habits – Hypnosis can
be used to create physical, mental and emotional triggers that manipulate
willpower into action to override habits like emotional eating that put on
pounds. Hypnosis can give you the strength to say “No” when your current habit
makes you say “Yes” to food that makes you fat.
