Food and emotions are closely intertwined with so many people. People often rely on comfort food if they feel bored, down, stressed, lonely or trying to cope with any number of negative emotional concerns. Hypnotherapy could help you address these destructive emotions. Events in your everyday life can often trigger negative feelings that lead to conscious, or subconscious, comfort eating which can then disrupt your weight-loss endeavours. Relationship problems, issues at work, even just being a bit tired can have you reaching for the biscuit tin; eventually you may even condition yourself to such a degree that you find yourself unconsciously reaching for crisps or chocolate when you are stressed or upset, without even thinking about what you are doing, enjoying what you are eating, or even wanting it in the first place. Hypnotherapy could help you discover and deal with, the motivations behind your cravings. Helping you to restructure negative behaviour patterns for healthier ones. Food can never help you to get rid of any emotional stress, in fact the more your emotions cause you to over-eat, the worse you will feel. They cycle of turning to food for comfort after a bad day, then beating yourself up or feeling guilty about being overweight, so you think “what’s the point I’ll order that takeaway and start again tomorrow”. But you never do, do you? Weight control hypnosis could help you could help you break this unhealthy cycle of inconsistency, and educate you on how your body reacts to binges and unregulated patterns of eating.
