The Truth about Weight Management - Why Diets don't Work

Has dieting not worked for you? Well, it’s not surprising because there are three very important reasons why diets don’t work:

1. The yo-yo syndrome. When starting a new diet people tend to reduce their food intake too much. They want to lose weight quickly. But, starving yourself slows down your metabolism – your body thinks there’s a famine going on. This restricted diet last for a while, but can’t be kept up and you soon start to eat the same way you did before. But, because your metabolism has slowed down it can’t burn all this extra food efficiently. So what happens? You put on more weight than you had before you started the diet.

2. Resistance is futile. Restricting what you eat doesn’t work long term. As soon as you tell yourself to avoid certain foods, like chocolate treats, you upset the balance of your relationship with them. By continuing to eat what you want, but just reducing the amount of those ‘naughty’ treats, you can establish a balanced diet and an interesting thing happens: your tastes change and you may find yourself craving the very foods that you're ‘supposed’ to be eating.

3. Dieting focuses on one issue: food. Many people, however, have an underlying issue which affects their relationship to food: a lack of self esteem. When you don’t feel good about yourself it’s almost impossible to get motivated to do something about it.

So, the answer is simple; do something that helps you start to value yourself. This will give you the motivation to eat the right kinds of foods, in the portion sizes that are right for your body type and to get some exercise.

This is where Healing Suggestions comes in. Our Weight Management System consists of 6 sessions of a combination of Hypnosis and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

Hypnosis works by helping you change your mind about yourself, on a subconscious level, and CBT gives you the tools necessary to understand yourself better and continue to stay positive and motivated.

Throughout, you are supported by a professional therapist so that by the end of the 6 sessions you will have a more balance relationship with food and with yourself!

Session 1:
The first session is a free consultation. This consists of finding out about you and you finding out about the therapy I offer. You sit and discuss, with complete confidentiality, the history of your eating issues, what you wish deal with and where you wish to get to. I fully explain CBT and hypnosis to you. You have plenty of time to decide whether this type of therapy is for you.

If you are happy to continue then you have a choice: we can simply make an appointment for the next session, or you can have another 30 minutes of hypnotherapy. This is a lead in session and consists of being taken into a light hypnotic state and having general healing and uplifting suggestions made to you. This helps you to be become comfortable with the experience of hypnosis, helping your subconscious mind get ready to do some major work when you return for your 2nd session. This part of the session is charged at £30.00.

Session 2:
The 2nd session is the personally focused session and lasts about 45 minutes to an hour. It consists of me taking you into an hypnotic state and making positive and healing suggestions to you based on the information you provided in session one. It also includes me explaining more in depth about the CBT techniques you will be using for the coming sessions. You will go home with a CD to listen to (to reinforce the hypnotic suggestions) and some 'homework' to do. This session costs £60.00.

Following 4 sessions:
The next 4 sessions consist of reviewing your progress, giving you more homework to do, and carrying out reinforcing hypnotherapy. Each session costs £60.00.

Any Further Sessions:
After the initial 6 sessions it may be that you will want to come back in a few months to review how you are getting on, and possibly carry out more work. This will be up to and you will book these sessions when you feel you need them.
