Many diet programs advocate strict calorie control or liquid diets and excessive exercise. In many cases these diets will work in the short term but over a long period of time they inevitably fail. Yet time and time again these people will try the next fad and the next in order to try and shed the pounds. When they inevitably go back on again the person feels a failure. The reality is strict calorie restriction of fad diets are not a solution to weight loss. This is because the person who is using them will feel deprived of the foods that they love. Take something away from a person and they will want it more!
What about Actual Gastric Band Surgery?
Many of my clients feel so desperate about their weight that they will actually have gone to a private clinic and had a gastric band, bypass or sleeve. They wanted the miracle cure and thought that by throwing money at the problem it would go away. Of course in many cases this is not enough as no lifestyle or psychological change has taken place. This means that despite the physical restriction in their stomach they don't lose significant amounts of weight as they originally thought. So what is causing the problem?
Emotional Eating Help
Our Gastric Band Hypnosis in Nottingham is aimed at giving our clients help for their emotional eating. That means we work with them to help them understand the reasons why they may be turning to food. Once we have a greater awareness of these triggers then we help them to try and resolve the underlying issues rather than just place them on a diet. There are numerous reasons why food may have become a problem and here are just some of the reasons that we see:
- Lack of Understanding of Portion Control
- Inability to Control Food Cravings
- Dealing with Stress by Eating
- Unresolved Emotional Problems relating to: Sadness, Guilt, Anger or Anxiety
- Binge Eating related to Perfectionism
- Eating Mindlessly to Dissociate from Problems
- Feelings of being Unloved or Alone
As long as these emotional issues are unresolved the client with the problem is likely to eat to comfort themselves for the problem. Our aim is to be help them identify what is the issue at the heart of their eating so that this can be tackled with therapy.
The Nottingham Hypno-Band Program
Our Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis involves everything from suggestion hypnosis to mindful eating to CBT techniques as well as coaching. We do everything we can to help our clients make positive changes to alter their lifestyle and the way that they use food. The virtual operation is a form of suggestion hypnosis to compound these suggestions but is only used when we have done the therapeutic work first. In additon to the work completed in the sessions all our clients are expected to do homework outside of the sessions which includes keeping a food diary and listening to our weight loss downloads.
