GASTRIC BAND HYPNOTHERAPY

Gastric band hypnotherapy is about developing a healthy, natural weight control system, based on the natural biological signals of eating when hungry and stopping when full, rather than forming an emotional attachment to eating. Hypnotherapy can address emotional and psychological issues at the root of an individuals’ ultimate need to begin – and continue – overeating.  

A thorough consultation establishes the client’s current eating habits, and identifies any problematic areas such as comfort eating, not being able to leave food on a plate, even if full, large portion sizes, unhealthy cravings, and so on. The therapist will discuss relevant areas such as healthy eating patterns, mindful eating, and exercise, before setting goals using visualisation techniques, for example, the client imagining themselves looking slim and healthy in a certain item of clothing.   

Gastric band hypnotherapy can be useful for not only general health benefits through supporting weight loss in overweight and obese clients, it can also potentially reduce the risk of developing other conditions associated with obesity, such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and so on. It can also be useful for those with metabolic disorders potentially affecting weight, including polycystic ovary syndrome and underactive thyroid. 

People have recorded reduced blood pressure and blood sugar levels, an increase in confidence, self-esteem, happiness, more enjoyment of exercise, stress reduction, loss of anxiety, sleep improvement, increased mobility, a loss of depression and in several cases, an increased libido.
