Losing weight involves changing your lifestyle, and eating habits, and sometimes even dealing with emotional challenges. To achieve this, more and more people are turning to hypnosis as an alternative method. But how does it work? Here’s how it works!
Reorientation of eating habits
Of course, hypnosis is an effective therapy for weight loss and general well-being. It helps achieve an altered state by reorienting eating habits or effectively managing emotions related to food.
Indeed, if you have a marked preference for foods rich in sugar and fat, hypnosis can be used to modify this addition. During the consultation, this hypnotherapist in Geneva can suggest healthier foods such as:
- Vegetables;
- The fruits;
- Nuts and seeds.
The power of this suggestion is that it works at the unconscious level . Your subconscious mind begins to integrate this new food preference. So, over time, you begin to naturally feel a desire for more nutritious foods. If you tend to snack when you are stressed, you will certainly have a hard time doing so after your counseling sessions . Hence the positive behavioral change !
Managing emotions related to food
With hypnosis, it is also possible to burn more calories, while taking control of your food-related emotions. Many people seek comfort in high-calorie, high-carb foods in response to emotions like:
- Stress;
- Sadness;
- Anger;
- Boredom;
- And sometimes even joy.
This tendency is often due to the release of endorphins, the “happy hormones,” which sugary or fatty foods can trigger.
During hypnosis sessions, the therapist can guide you to identify the moments when emotion is likely to push you to such a harmful urge.
- Is it during your moments of joy?
- Is it during dark times or in mourning?
- Is it while you are stressed?
Once you identify the trigger, you will learn techniques like deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation . These will help you better manage the problem instead of turning to food. This will result in more significant weight loss, and then you will have reached your goal!
