Over Eating and Weight problems

Why Do You Want to Lose Weight?

Is it about how you look or perhaps what you think other people will think of you? Do the health implications of being overweight worry you? Perhaps you have a specific habit that you would like to change or maybe you already know that your eating habits are not doing you any good.

The chances are that you have already tried a range of dieting strategies with some short term success before arriving here. This cycle of weight gain and loss can often leave you feeling drained of hope or motivation. But why does it happen and how can access to Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy and Counselling at Assisi Therapy (Salisbury) help?

Why “Dieting” can be Tough

You are a wonderfully complex system of systems. You have evolved over millions of years to have a very specific relationship with food and it can often be true that our modern diets cause those systems to develop an imbalance.

Your subconscious mind can have many reasons why it is trying to get you to eat. You may associate food with past emotions or it may provide you with a support when life gets challenging.

It may even be that in changing the way that you eat, you have upset the ancient programming in your brain that is concerned with starvation and building up energy reserves for hard times ahead.

You are not alone in having trouble managing these factors and you can get help.

How can I Help You to Lose Weight For Good?

Hypno-Psychotherapy seeks to help you identify the subconscious forces unique to you that have hindered your previous attempts to lose weight. By working directly with the part of the mind that you aren’t aware of, hypnosis can help you to understand what a healthy diet and weight will look like and how you can maintain it.

One powerful aspect of problem weight is how you relate to food and eating. We can change that relationship to help maintain a healthy weight for you. The beauty of a combined hypnotherapy / psychotherapeutic approach is that we can work with the subconscious whilst helping the conscious mind to understand and spot problem behaviours.

As you embed these new behaviours and subconscious patterns, you will find yourself increasingly feeling and acting differently as your relationship with food changes forever. There will be work required, but the change in your mind and body will be long-lasting and effective therapy.

What is Therapy & Counselling?

Many people have an idea of what therapy is like because they have seen it depicted on television or in films. You make have seen someone lying on a couch or talking to an “Expert Therapist” who nods knowingly. This can be a reality for some people, but the truth is that the only expert on how to be you, is you. Your therapy at Assisi Therapy in Salisbury can include Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy or Counselling and the only thing that influences the balance of these approaches, is what is best for you.
