Weight Loss Hypnosis in Nottingham - How To Choose a Great Practitioner

If you are looking for weight loss hypnosis in Nottingham and the surrounding areas it can be difficult knowing where to start looking for a hypnotherapist who can help you. Generally looking up the term on Google will bring you up a large list of hypnotherapy websites but it can be difficult to work out which practices really have the experience and knowledge to assist you on your weight loss journey. Therefore we thought we would create this handy guide to help you choose the best weight loss therapist in your area.

What Questions Do Your Ask Your Weight Loss Hypnotherapist?

As experts in hypnosis for weight loss we know that experience counts when it comes to helping our clients. These are the crucial elements you need to consider before booking your appointment.

1) Groupon - For the general public Groupon can seem like a cheap way to get a product or a service that you want but for the person selling the service the benefits are not so great. When you offer your services via cheap sites such as these the person selling the service is making no money. This is because at least half the fee that you are paying goes to Groupon. This means that the only therapists who sell their services this way are the incredibly new therapists with no experience or referral lists or the desperate because they have no clients. Any great weight loss hypnotherapist wouldn't be seen dead advertising their skilled treatments as bargain basement deals. When it comes to seeing a therapist pay for the very best that you can afford. Good therapists are not dirt cheap!

2) Are they Part Time? - Many people are totally unaware that the vast majority of hypnotherapists are part timers. They may see only one or two people a week as a supplement to their day job. This is either because they don't want to commit to hypnosis full time or have been unable to make a practice work for them. A busy hypnotherapist is likely to be seeing anywhere from 15 to 30 clients per week. Generally the more clients you see then the more skilled you become at helping to remedy your clients problems. When you are part time you are simply not accumulating the vast experience needed to deal with complex issues such as weight loss. Before booking your weight loss hypnosis in Nottingham it makes sense to choose a full time practitioner. The exception to this rule would be a partially retired practitioner who may have been in practice for years.

3) How Long Have They Been in Practice? - Generally when you are a new hypnotherapist you need to work under supervision for the first two years. That is providing you are a member of a reputable professional body. You are of course qualified to work with the general public but again you may be lacking in experience in many areas. Choosing a senior qualified hypnotherapist helps as it means that you are benefiting from their years of experience and wisdom.

4) Do They have a Specialism? - Although most hypnotherapists are generalists there are many who specialise in a certain area. Our clinic for example specialises in weight loss hypnotherapy, gastric band hypnosis and all forms of eating disorders. Seeing a therapist who works in one particular area means you will benefit from their increased knowledge in that area.

5) Were they Trained Online? - Believe it or not it is possible to call yourself a hypnotherapist if you have received a certificate from an online company. In fact you don't even need a certificate at all to practice hypnosis. Studying online is fine but if it is not backed up with practice working with actual clients then you have a totally inexperienced practitioner for dealing with one to one work. Where possible choose therapists who have studied at a college or practice where they needed to interact with other hypnotherapists.

6) Are They a Member of a Professional Body? - It is perfectly possible to practice without being a member of a professional body but this means that the practice is unlikely to have a code of ethics or complaints procedure that they abide by. Try and choose a specialist who belongs to one of the major reputable professional bodies in the UK such as the General Hypnotherapy Register which we are a member of.

Six Ways Our Weight Loss Hypnotherapy in Nottingham Can Help You To Shape Up

Many people think of weight loss hypnotherapy as some form of magic bullet that will help them instantly shed the pounds after one session. Now whilst hypnosis can create amazing results it is more complex than people think. Generally one session is nowhere near enough to solve a life long problem with food. However when weight loss sessions are tailored into a program they can really help a person to understand why they are overeating and find strategies for change. Just some examples of the ways hypnosis can help include.

1) Using Positive Visualisation - Every Olympic athlete now uses this tool in preparation for their events and even whilst they are competing. Athletes understand that having a positive mental attitude can make the difference between success and failure. Now if it is good enough for them then it is good enough to be used in the therapy room. At our clinics we bombard our clients with positive messages from the start. We use them in our sessions and in the audios we give our clients. If we discover that our clients have entered into a pattern of negative thining then we show them ways to change. Believing that you can create a lifestyle change is half the battle.

2) Taste and Smell - When a client enters a certain depth of hypnosis we are able to enhance their senses. People in trance are able to visualise food as if it is in front of them. They are able to small the food and see the texture. Now if there is a food stuff that they do not like we can play on these senses to associate that food with foods that they normally crave. Today I had a client who hated liver. One of the things we did in todays session was get her to think about overeating and associating the taste of liver with that sensation. This should help her to switch off the cravings really quickly when she comes across temptation.

3) Mindfulness - Our lives now are very different to years ago. We no longer take our time over our meals and when we eat we are usually distracted by other things. How many times have you eaten your meals in front of the tv or whilst browsing on a tablet. When we run our weight loss hypnotherapy Nottingham sessions we go back to basics and teach our clients to eat without distraction and to pay attention to their food. One of my clients did this for one week and lost six and a half pounds!

4) Managing Emotions - Food is used by many as a comforter or a soother. If they are feeling upset, angry, frustrated or anxious food is often the thing they turn to in order to make themselves feel better. Of course the food does not deal with the underlying emotion and the problem remains! We help our clients to recognise emotional eating and find alternative strategies for dealing with the problem.

5) Portion Control - Understanding when you are hungry and when you are full is a real problem for many people. So many clients come in to our clinic and tell us that they never feel full. The truth of the matter is that they all know when they are full they just choose to eat past that point. Under hypnosis the subconscious can signal exactly where that point is and what made the person continue overeating. With practice this unconscious awareness can enter the consciousness and change eating patterns. We even give our clients a portion control download so they can practice this self hypnosis a at home.

6) Cravings Control - The mind is like a muscle and with practice is can be taught to manage cravings. Just as Pavlov's dogs salivated when a bell rang humans have build the same associations. Perhaps the signal for us is associating a cup of tea and biscuits or a cafe with eating cake. Now we only have to see the cup of tea and instantly we crave the biscuits as we believe they go hand in hand. Hypnosis can help to break these associations.
