Hypnotherapy Sessions

Food is one of our basic needs, however for some the relationship with food is complicated as a result of previous conditioning and conclusions made in the past, and results in eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and compulsive eating. Eating disorders have a physical, emotional and psychological effect and sufferers usually deal with issues such as depression, anxiety and low self-esteem to name a few.

The issue lies in the illogical part of the mind, the subconscious which is why logicaI reasoning does not have an impact, and in fact makes a person feel worse when they cannot do what they consciously want. In a state of hypnosis, an understanding of what lies behind the thinking can be known and can be worked on to adopt a new and healthy relationship with food.

Hypnotherapy works to identify the emotional root of this complex relationship, and addresses the associations made by the mind which as resulted in feeling a lack of control around food.  This process involves a lot of inner-child healing, and also addresses issues of self-esteem and confidence.  Depending on how deep the issue is, the unravelling and healing can take between 5-10 sessions – with the results being permanent. Learning to love and accept oneself is an important part of the process.

How The Process Works:

The First Session:
Our first role is to clearly identify your objective and gain some background on the issue. All behavior is governed by beliefs, and we work with the beliefs you have accumulated in the subconscious mind that are holding you back. During the  session you will learn how the mind works, and discover beliefs that you have that are supporting you and sabotaging you towards achieving your goal. We will end with a tailor-made guided meditation that you can take home and listen to for the next few weeks.

Subsequent Sessions:
Each session comprises of several healing techniques, hypnotherapy, visualisations and exercises to release the disempowering beliefs and experiences from your subconscious mind. We believe that this journey is a partnership between you and the therapist, and will be giving you simple exercises to do for homework so you can maintain the shifts at home and create lasting change together.

Each session takes between 60-90 minutes, with the exception of the first session that includes a case history and is approximately 90 minutes.
