How can Hypnosis help Obesity in Children, Teens and Adults?

The psychological and social effects play a role both known as cause and effect of overweight and obesity. Often the cause/effect relationship creates a never-ending cycle of psychological distress. Food affects moods in both ways, in biological and environmental. Habitual overeating can be a response to notably stress. Guilt and out-of-control feelings commonly associated with overeating lead to a reduced feeling of stress, shame and guilt.

Being overweight cannot only lead to cardiovascular, orthopedic, gastrointestinal, respiratory, hormonal, neurological, and metabolic diseases such as diabetes and diabetes type 2. But can also manifests it self through psychological difficulties, which may require the assistance of a trained professional.

Many children and adults have an increased rate of depression, low self-esteem, social isolation, low energy that manifest in significant behavioral problems. These communities grow up with a lower rate of college acceptance, getting married and often getting into financial frustration which all this can lead to serious medical illness or even suicide attempts. This is where hypnotherapy fits in. Hypnosis is about using all of your senses that are gathered up in your mind and have been suppressed due to receiving negative messages; my mission is to awaken your mind, which is the master of all. There for when you awaken those senses, such as feelings, hearings, seeing, smelling, tasting, touching and speaking in an appropriate way to a full wakening, you will not only feel awaken, you will start enjoying your life.

A trained hypnotherapist will work with a child or an adult on their behavior using cognitive therapy as well as hypnosis. Hypnosis can assist by changing the old negative behavior and help you maintain a new habit so you can improve your self-esteem as well as physical appearance and health; it can simply be done when behavior therapy combined with a healthy eating and exercise approach. This combined intervention results in a greater weight reduction.

Each client is different and therefore therapy will be designed on an individual basis. Some will need cognitive therapy followed with hypnosis; some will only need guided imagery during hypnosis and or even Inner child work. The end result is weight loss and an attractive appearance, feeling healthy gaining positive self- esteem to keep the weight off forever.

Benefit of Hypnotherapy
The major benefits of hypnosis is self confidence, self respect, increased energy, enhanced sleep, less fatigue, increased stamina and the freedom to choose your clothing.

How Do I know if I am overweight?
Your doctor will use a chart to find out if your weight is not healthy. Usually if you weight more than 85% of other people who are the same age and weight, you may need to eat more healthy food as well as exercising more.

What can I do to keep healthy?
Weight problem can be very hard to fix, so watching it will be very helpful!

* Ask your doctor or your nutritionist to teach you about the good food such as fiber, fruit, vegetable grains and water.

* Have three healthy meals a day and eat healthy snacks such as, apple, pears and carrot sticks between meals. Keep in mind that you don’t need to clean your plate or finish your drink.

* Family fun time can be a family fitness time, play basketball, kick the ball, run around the block, take your bicycle for a ride, go for a walk, put on the music and start shaking your body, dance like a star.

* Have a healthy desert, such as berries, melons, by following this simple advice you are teaching your children and yourself to value healthy food.

* Start a supervised fitness program.

Tip for health benefit:
* Lose 5 to 10% of your current body weight.
* Eat variety of healthy foods and snacks in smaller amounts.
* Eat more food that is high in fiber and low in fat.
* Exercise 4 or more times a week for 30 minutes each.
* Drinking 8 or more glass of water a day.

If you know anyone who is suffering in some of the ways described above, you may want to consider or suggest a residential weight-loss program combined with hypnotherapy.
