Hypnosis an additional technique for weight loss
February 4, 2009
Hypnosis is nothing but a natural state of mind in which one can access the creative or the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind has the memories, beliefs and habits. If you can therefore access it,you can even change these things for the betterment of the person. It is used in medical institutions as an alternative treatment. It can be used for managing pain, smoking and even weight loss.
The hypnotic state is also the state of focused concentration. This is similar to getting lost in a good book so much so that the world seems to fade away. Guy Montgomery, who is the president of the Society of Psychological Hypnosis, which is a division of American Psychological Association, explained it in this way.
Patients become more open to suggestion in this state. The aim of the therapy is to gain access to the subconscious in order to change it in a positive way, which often is not otherwise possible because the conscious resists it.
Women respond differently to this treatment. While some have a feeling of falling asleep, while others remain conscious. Some might feel like going numb, while others would have a sense of either heaviness or lightness in certain parts of the body. This however, has nothing to do with the level of relaxation.
A person becomes overweight as a result of a series of unhealthy habits that the woman falls to. Usually, overweight women have some beliefs that are not at all useful as far as food and nutrition is concerned. If these beliefs and habits are changed, then she can get amazing help with reducing the excess weight.
Effectiveness of hypnosis usually varies from person to person, just like any other treatment. However, hypnosis, when combined with a behavioural weight management program, has shown to be quite successful in causing moderate to low weight losses.
Pros of hypnosis
The best thing about hypnosis is that it is non-invasive. It is safe as long as done by a qualified professional.
Sessions can be customised according to your own needs.
In cases where conventional treatments have failed, hypnosis has been successful.
Instead of promising a miracle cure, it offers real treatment for the problem of being overweight. It deals with the real cause behind the problem and helps the patient get on with losing weight.
It encourages a healthy lifestyle.
Cons of hypnotherapy
No statutory regulation exists for this profession. As a result, you are always at the risk of being scammed by an unprofessional.
People with epilepsy, post-traumatic stress and severe psychological disorders such as split personality or borderline psychosis and even depression should not go for hypnotherapy.
You will not see magical results. It takes time.
