Dear Dr David Kraft

My name is J. I am 14 stone and I have had two babies. I am now 42 and decided to have a hysterectomy last month because of what my doctor said. I went to a specialist in London and he performed the operation under a general anaesthetic. I want to take off weight so much. I was 10 stone five years ago before I had my two daughters and I want to take off that weight. Now, I am so depressed too. I know that the operation was a life changing event for a woman, but I feel less of a woman. I still want sex and everything, but I somehow feel less attractive to my husband. I feel fat, and non-sexy, and this feeling has worsened since I had the operation. I want another operation now to get rid of the fat, but I know that this would probably be a bad idea. Can we use hypnotherapy to help me with this problem? I heard that weight loss hypnotherapy was very effective for woman.

The fact that I have had a hysterectomy won’t effect my ability to take off weight, will it? I was told by my doctor that each person is different and that I should be fine, and still have good sex. I have had good sex since the oiperation, although it took some time to recover from this trauma.

I took a lot of care after the operation. Many surgeons agree that six to eight weeks is sufficient time to recover from the operation: I did not have sex for three months even though I was dying for it.

I worried that I would get chronic pelvic pain, but I didn’t.

Please help me take off weight and feel better about myself. If hypnotherapy is useful, please help me.

Dear Dr David Kraft

I have been looking very carefully at the internet and I have discovered your hypnotherapy website. I have been trying to take off weight for a long time, and have had some success. But, recently, I have had a baby and I now find that dieting is really hard. I want to feed myself all the time. I find myself trying to eat carrots and fruit during the day. If I manage it, I then snack in the evening. I have tried various weight loss diet and these have not worked either. I am really lost at the moment too and need some confidence. I don’t have any confidence, and I want to talk about this too. I have read on your website that hypnotherapy can help people to take off weight. Can you help. Weight Loss Hypnotherapy looks like the sort of thing for me.

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

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.

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.

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
