Weight Loss Hypnotherapy

Weight Loss Hypnotherapy at London Hypnotherapy UK

London Hypnotherapy UK takes on a number of individuals with weight issues each year. Both men and women have gone to London Hypnotherapy UK in order to take off excess weight: the success rate has been extremely good.

IN ALL CASES, THIS THERAPY IS COMBINED WITH PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC SUPPORT

How does weight loss hypnotherapy work and how on earth will it help me to take off weight?

During the hypnotherapy, individuals are highly susceptible to suggestion. Weight loss hypnotherapy is used in order to facilitate an environment in which you are able access a healthy eating regime in your own mind’s eye. Once this is achieved, weight loss is possible. In Weight loss hypnotherapy, the procedure is as follows:

1) You will be asked whether you want to take off weight.

2) You will asked to imagine living your life at a certain weight–your ‘ideal weight’

3) You will be asked to imagine eating three healthy meals each day and to enjoy eating each meal.

4) You will be asked whether you can imagine eating the meals slowly

5) You will be given direct suggestions not to snack and indirect suggestion to eat healthily and in sufficient quantities

6) You will be asked again, using future orientation, to imagine enjoying your life at your ‘ideal weight’

7) You will be given ego strengthening and boosting so that you will have the confidence to fulfil this task

8) You will be given direct suggestions that you should reward yourself appropriately during the course of the treatment

9) Anchoring techniques, like rubbing your stomach, will be used to harness your control over your eating.

10) You will be given a number of suggestion to make sure that you maintain your weight–from week to week, month to month and year to year

Are there any other techniques used in order to help people take off weight?

Weight loss hypnotherapy is the treatment of choice at London Hypnotherapy UK; however, aversion therapy (covert sensitization) is another technique that can be used. Covert sensitization is used to help people stop eating a certain food type–i.e. chocolate, crisps or chips etc, or, indeed, any other food stuff to which the individual is addicted. This is also a very powerful technique, but it is a different form of therapy.   

Is weight loss hypnotherapy effective?

Weight loss hypnotherapy is an extremely powerful tool and is also used in order to treat individuals with more serious weight problems (i.e. obesity).    

How expensive is weight loss hypnotherapy at London Hypnotherapy UK?

Weight loss hypnotherapy is the same price as psychotherapy. The first session is an hour’s duration, and subsequent sessions are 50 minutes. Sessions run at £160.

If I have weight loss hypnotherapy, are there any side effects?

No. None.

Weight Loss Hypnotherapy

Weight Loss Hypnotherapy

 

Can hypnotherapy be used to help me to take off weight?

In short, yes—and very effectively too.

 

Does weight loss hypnotherapy work?

Many people have tried diets and have spent a great deal of time and money trying to take of weight. Hypnotherapy is a very powerful tool in this process and what is good about the technique is that, if used correctly, it reducing cravings and has a long lasting effect on weight.

 

So what is weight loss hypnotherapy and how does it work?

After the hypnotic induction, and in the therapy part of the process, weight loss suggestions are given and these are used to help the client to break the eating patterns of behaviour. Suggestions are given to help reduce the number of calories per day, to eat more slowly and to enjoy the food, to keep this process going from week to week, to exercise moderately, to eat smaller quantities of food, to cut out fatty foods or foods with sugar, to eat a breakfast everyday, to drink plenty of water, and not to snack in between meals.

 

Many people eat too much when they are stressed or bored: hypnotherapy can also be used to help people to become more relaxed and confident during stressful situations. The benefit of this is that individuals find tat they are more confident and do not have to turn to food for comfort; they comfort themselves in more appropriate ways. For more information on hypnotherapy, please click on the following link.

What is Hypnotherapy?

 

How long does this take?

It is important in therapy not to give guarantees; however, this process is very powerful indeed and begins to work straight away.

 

Obesity

Individuals who suffer from obesity find that the extra support given by hypnotherapists is invaluable. It boosts their sense of well being and this, in turn, gives them more encouragement to help them take off weight. The hypnotherapy must e combined with an organized diet chart.

 

Results

At London Hypnotherapy UK, weight loss hypnotherapy was used to help treat a number of women. The average number of lbs lost by each person was 18lbs during a ten week programme. Some clients continued to use hypnotherapy to take of more weight. At the six month follow up, all clients had maintained their body weight at that reduced level, and 35% had taken off still more weight.

 

Side Effects

None. Mostly positive comments were given. Most patients reported that they felt better and had more confidence and energy. One lady said that she had less energy, but she had reduced her carbohydrate intake dramatically; once she controlled her carbohydrate intake, she felt better.

Help. Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy in the Treatment of Anxiety.

Anxiety and Hypnotherapy

 

Anxiety and panic attacks have increased over the last twenty years, and over the last few years, I have treated a great number of people suffering from generalized anxiety disorder. Many of them are or have been teachers—both primary and secondary–solicitors, and members of the armed forces.

 

Many individuals who first experience these attacks go to their GPs to ask for help and advice. Often, they are given antidepressant medication to control the effects of the attacks; however, this does not solve the problem and, if anything, it does not help the person because it takes away control from the individual—control that he or she desperately needs.

 

Psychotherapy, used in conjunction with hypnotherapy, is extremely powerful: this treatment approach can be used to help people suffering from anxiety with or without panic attacks. The combined approach, often known as integrative psychotherapy,  works as follows. The psychotherapy is used in order to support individuals and help them to work through the traumas that are responsible for the attacks, while the hypnosis accelerates the healing process and helps individuals to lessen the effects of the attacks.

 

During a panic attack, clients can experience the following effects: rapid breathing, breathlessness, light headedness, flashing lights, feeling faint, sick, feeling hot or flushed, increased heart rate, hyper-awareness, anger, feeling of the loss of control and being outside one’s self amongst other symptoms.

 

Often, individuals feel anxious while travelling—by car, bus, train or on a plane—or in large crowds. Clients get worked up about these problems and this only makes them worse, and this can also lead to avoidance behaviour.

 

Where do I Go to Seek Treatment

 

Many individuals go to see a hypnotist to get support. Some think that he can wae a magic wand and everything will be better; however, it is important to go to a trained psychotherapist: he or she will be able to guide you through the anxiety slowly and in your own time, and will then be able to help you come to terms with the issue and help you alleviate your attacks.

 

Integrative psychotherapy is also powerful in the treatment of phobic disorders which may be associated, or inextricably interconnected with the anxiety.

Anxiety disorders, according to DSM IV (1994), may be considered under the following major six categories:

1 Panic Disorder (with and without agoraphobia)
2 Specific Phobia (replacing Simple Phobia)
3 Social Phobia
4 Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
5 Generalised Anxiety Disorder
6 Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

For more information on this please see our published article on anxiety and sleep disorders.

Hypnotherapy for Weight Loss

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — Dr David Kraft @ 4:14 pm

Can hypnotherapy help me to take off weight?

 
Yes. Hypnotherapy is a very powerful tool for helping people wanting to take off weight. Obesity is a huge problem in the western world. Often, people eat outside of meals times because of an emotional force—in short, they ‘comfort eat’, they eat too much because this helps them to relax, or they eat for some kind of reward.

Some people take in excess food in an uncontrolled fashion; they feel that they are ‘outside themselves’ or that they are ‘not in control of their bodies’. This is a dissociative mechanism and is often referred to as ‘binge eating’. Binge eating is sometimes associated with a binge-purge cycle. This is known as bulimia. Some clients, after the binge episode, feel ashamed that they have eaten huge quantities of food and they then try to remove the food from their bodies. This can be done by self-inducing vomiting, or by the use of diuretics or laxatives. However, clients suffering from bulimia are not necessarily thin, and some still wish to take off weight.

Many people suffering from binge eating disorder (without purging) or obesity want to take off weight and they find that hypnotherapy is a very powerful tool. London Hypnotherapy UK is committed to helping people taking off weight.

How can London Hypnotherapy UK help me take off weight?

At the beginning of the consultation, both the therapist, Dr Kraft, and the client, will talk about and make changes to the daily food intake. It is very important here not to make huge changes—it might make a big change in the near future but its effect will not be long lasting. What is important is that fatty foods should be eliminated from the diet and that clients should keep to a certain number of calories per day. Dr Kraft and the client will make realistic goals that the client can meet. In addition, he will suggest a modest increase in cardiovascular activity to help with the process of weight loss.

During the hypnotherapy, you will be told about all the benefits to your health and how much better you will feel having taken off the necessary weight. Dr Kraft will also talk about how important it is to slow eating down and to enjoy the food you are eating. Dr David Kraft will also use paradoxical sentence constructions and embedded commands to help you to control your diet; this will be combined with powerful ‘anchoring’ techniques.

If you are interested in weight loss, please phone London Hypnotherapy UK today. The phone number is 0207 467 8564.

Johrei and Hypnotherapy

Is hypnotherapy like Johrei?

The founder of Johrei was a Japanese man called Mokichi Okada (1882-1955). Okada wanted to create a peaceful world where everyone lived healthily and in happiness.  

Mokichi Okada practised Johrei; in this spiritual process, universial energy is transferred from the sun to the person: it is a two-way process. The universal energy has a huge impact on an individual’s state of being. Individuals feel more energized and relaxed; they feel happier, more confident and more able to achieve their own personal goals.

This Japanese art form has been taken on by people in the Isan region of Thailand. Not only have the principles of Johrei–specifically the nature farming and eating ofnaturally grown food produce–been taken on by Isan men and women in the wider community, but also the Sekai Krusei-kyo health care practices in Isan, particuarly in Nakhon Ratchasima, have set up mental development courses following Johrei tehniques, and have begun to teach the doctrines of the Sekai Kyusei-Kyo. The four truths of the philosphy are Mutitah (the celebration of other people’s happiness), Maehtta (compassion), Kharuna (mercy) and Ubeka (tranquility). Therapists have to perform three responsibilities to fufil their modus vivendi: homage, Johrei therapy and a disapline known as ’serving the faith’ (Phaengsoi, 2009).

Like Johrei, Hypnotherapy is also a two way process by which energy can be transferred from an outside source. During the process of content free therapy, the hypnotherapist can facilitate an environment in which the client can move energy from one place to another, thereby using the universal energy to help him to live a more appropriate and fulfilling life. The energy can also be used to eliminate negative energy, what, in Johrei terminology, might be known as ‘clouds’.

This is a healing process. Okada called it the Process of Purification, and, like hypnotherapy, it can be used to eliminate toxins found in illnesses or problems such as IBS, the flu, tiredness, anger, psychosomatic pain, mild rheumatism, depression. Both healing processes can also be used to manage or eliminate life-threatening conditions.   

 

Johrei and Dr David Kraft

Dr Kraft has been using hypnotherapy with a great deal of success. He has visited Thailand on many occasions and has begun to learn about the philosophy of the Sekai Krusei-Kyo school. He has also begun to learn about the principles of Johrei. He hopes, in the future, having learnt from trained masters in Thailand, to use Johrei in order to enhance his work as a hypnotherapist. Dr Kraft already uses, and has had great success in employing, energy therapy in conjunction with hypnotherapy.

Hypnotherapy to Stop Smoking

Do you Want to have Hypnotherapy Stop Smoking?

Hypnotherapy is a very powerful tool for the treatment of psychological disorders, but it can also be used to help individuals give up unwanted habits. Hypnotherapy has been used to help people stop smokingdrinking, fighting, and other antisocial behaviour; it has also helped nail biters and cannabis smokers.

What Technique is Used to Help me Stop Smoking?

Aversion Therapy. Dr David Kraft has had a lot of success treating clients in this way; it is a very powerful and intense technique. The benefits of this technique is that it is long lasting, and, also, the effects are instant. Some clients give up smoking in a couple of sessions.

What is Aversion Therapy? How does hypnotherapy help me to Stop Smoking?

Aversion Therapy is a technique by which clients, during hypnotherapy, are given an unpleasant sensation associated with the smoking–for instance, the therapist might suggest that, before you feel like taking a cigarette, you will feel ghastly, sick and nauseous. The idea is not to actually make you sick but to stop you picking the cigarette up in the first place.

IMPORTANT!!

If you want to get hypnotherapy just to prove to a friend that you have tried everything and you still can’t give up oryou want to prove to a friend or, indeed, the hypnotherapist, that hypnotherapy doesn’t work then don’t book a session. Save your money. When you are ready to be a non smoker, then make that telephone call–it will save you a lot of money in the future.

How much Money will it Save Me in a Year? 

If you smoke 20 Marlboro Light a day, the cost per year is £2, 190. £2,190 minus 3 sessions (average number of sessions) at £160= £1,710.

But it might save your life or, indeed, thousands of pounds worth of medical bills, too, in the future!

How Do I Book a Session?

All you need to do is to phone London Hypnotherapy UK for an appointment. The telephone number is 0207 467 8564. London Hypnotherapy UK is located at the Cavendish Square end of Harley Street.

What Other Essential Information Must I Have?

This is a complete abstinence programme. In three months’ time, you cannot say to yourself, ‘Oh, I will just have one cigarette” This never works. You stop now.

London Hypnotherapy UK, 10 Harley Street, London, W1G 9PF

Hypnotherapy to Stop Smoking

Hypnotherapy: Stopping Smoking

Can hypnotherapy help me to stop smoking?

Yes. Hypnotherapy is a very powerful tool. And the process is often a very quick one.

If I went to a hypnotherapist to help me stop smoking what would I expect?

It is important to see the hypnotherapist when you are ready. Motivation is a very important factor in this process. If you want to experience hypnotherapy in order to tell your partner that this didn’t work, then you will be throwing your money away. Only see a hypnotherapist when you, yourself, are ready.

Why is repetition important?

In every day life, if we repeat a phrase over and over again, we ignore its content and feel that it makes no sense to us; however, to the unconscious mind, which processes stimuli literally, each time one repeats a phrase, it enhances our awareness and our sensory responses react to that awareness.

 What do I do Next?

Book the session. All you have to do is to ring up the hypnotherapist and book an appointment. It is that simple. One used to have to go through the GP, but this is not necessary anymore; in fact, it is up to you whether you want your doctor to know about your treatment. To book an appointment at London Hypnotherapy UK, simply phone 0207 467 8564 and you will receive a phone call back the very same day.

What is hypnotherapy treatment like and how will it help me to stop smoking?

The therapy starts straight away. Smoking is perhaps different to some other addictions. It must be a complete abstinence programme. Once the treatment begins, you should never go back to smoking. In the future, you must not smoke one cigarette. Yes, just one will hurt you, because you will make excuses and end up smoking again.

What will happen?

In the hypnotherapy, you will be in control of how you feel, think and behave. It is possible that you will experience some time distortion; however, you will be fully aware of what is going on, and you will be in control. Contrary to popular belief, the hypnotherapist is not a sort of wizard that has control over your senses: he will simply facilitate an environment in which you will be able to effect change in your own behaviour. 

Aversion Therapy

London Hypnotherapy UK is committed to helping people to stop smoking. Dr David Kraft uses aversion therapy to help people to stop smoking. The benefits of this therapy are huge: not only is it long lasting, but also the effects are immediate. Some clients have been known to stop smoking in one, fifty minute session, while others have stopped after two, three or four sessions. Aversion Therapy (or covert sensitization) is a very powerful technique indeed, and the results have been quite overwhelming.

What is Aversion Therapy?

In trance, the hypnotherapist makes suggestions that, before you smoke, you will feel nauscous and sick. This is repeated at various times of the day. The intention is not to make you physically sick, but to make you feel sick before you take the cigarette. The technique is combined with ego strengthening and information about how much better you will feel having given up smoking. Ego Strengthening is a process by which the client is given suggestions that (s)he is becoming stronger, more confident and more in control. 

Smoking is one of the biggest killers in the world.

Become a winner. Be a non smoker.

Have hypnotherapy: stop smoking.
