How can hypnosis help me lose weight?

Hypnosis is a proven way to lose pounds and allow you to maintain a healthy weight .  Your Louisville Hypnosis Academy Certified Hypnotherapist will take the time to learn about you and how you relate to food and any other issues that contribute to your weight problem.

He or she will then formulate an individualized plan or strategy.  At the Louisville Hypnosis Academy, we do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach.  Everyone is different and everyone has different likes and dislikes that need to be considered in an effective weight loss program.

Your Louisville Hypnosis Academy Certified Hypnotherapist will work with you in private one-on-one appointments, and you will see the same Certified Hypnotherapist for each hypnosis session.  Except for a brief introductory video, we do not use videos or CDs.  You will experience hypnotherapy with hypnotic suggestions customized just for you by a Certified Hypnotherapist.

Who will hypnotize me?  

Your Certified Hypnotherapist is a highly trained and qualified professional who has undergone rigorous training in all aspects of hypnotherapy and Louisville Hypnosis Academy’s weight loss program.

Your Certified Hypnotherapist has also undergone extensive professional training and achieved additional certification in the advanced and highly effective hypnotherapy system knowns as 5-PATH®.  

Your Certified Hypnotherapist is bound by a strict professional code of ethics. He or she is a professional who will maintain the highest ethical standards, treat you with respect, and maintain confidentiality as required by law.

Here is how it works.

There are two main factors that contribute to weight gain:

1. Weight problems are often related to bad habits such as eating too much, or eating the wrong kind of foods.  These bad habits could have been picked up during your childhood, or teenage years, or at other times, such as when you were in college, or the military, or when a woman was pregnant.  These bad habits can be difficult (almost impossible) to break on your own.  Hypnosis makes it much easier.

2. Weight problems are often associated with emotions.  For example, many people overeat when they are bored, stressed, or sad.  While many of our clients know there is a link between their weight problem and their emotions, others don’t even realize it.

The Louisville Hypnosis Academy approach will enable you to experience a proven hypnotherapeutic process that will help you take control over those bad habits and episodes of emotional eating so you can positively change your relationship with food.

Bad habits removed with hypnosis.

First, your Louisville Hypnosis Academy Certified Hypnotherapist will listen to you and learn about the history of your struggle with controlling your weight.  Then, she or he will answer any questions that you may have about hypnosis.  You will also be asked about what you have tried in the past so that customized hypnosis sessions can be designed just for you.

Then, during each session, your Certified Hypnotherapist will give and reinforce individualized subconscious suggestions that will effectively neutralize unwise food habits.  You only need to follow simple instructions so that a sufficient level of hypnosis can be obtained.  This allows you to make the changes that you want to make.

Dissolving the emotional link that causes overeating and weight gain.

Your Louisville Hypnosis Academy Certified Hypnotherapist is more than just a hypnotherapist.  He or she has been trained to help you understand and overcome the emotional aspects of overeating that have caused you to gain weight.

That process will cause you to subconsciously seek out healthy food choices and greatly reduce your desire to eat when you are under emotional stress and not truly hungry.

You will also learn about the “Secret Language of Feelings,” and how taking charge of your emotions and feelings will greatly improve your ability to control the quantity and quality of the food you eat. 

Self-hypnosis assures long term results.

What you likely want is long term change in your eating habilts and weight loss.  Your Louisville Hypnosis Academy Certified Hypnotherapist will work with you to help you accomplish a number of things that will help you reach your goal weight and maintain it over the long term.

During your hypnosis sessions, you will experience insights into why you have this problem, and you will receive information about how emotions and eating are so closely linked.  In addition, you will be offered the opportunity to learn 7th Path Self-Hypnosis®, which is a powerful mind-body-spirit approach to self-improvement.

Once you have learned 7th Path Self-Hypnosis®, you will have acquired a skill that will enable you to always be in full control of your weight.  If you ever start to put on weight, you will have the ability to take control and get back on track by using self-hypnosis.  Plus, and this is a big plus, you will have learned a new skill that you can use in the future to make almost any kind of positive change in your life.  You can learn the 7th Path Self-Hypnosis® system during your regular hypnosis sessions, or in a 1-day class.  Ask your Certified Hypnotherapist about which is best for you.

Hypnosis can help you lose weight when diets have failed.

Most of the people who come to the Louisville Hypnosis Academy seeking weight loss help have tried many different weight loss methods and have failed (either failed to lose weight or, if they were able to lose weight, failed to keep it off).  Usually, they have tried every imaginable diet and exercise program.

Weight loss is actually simple.  Just consume less food than your body uses and you will definitely lose weight.  You probably already know that.  The problem is to figure out a way to make that simple process work for you, and then, when the weight is off, to keep it off.  The key is that changes need to be made at the subconscious level of the mind where emotions and habits reside.  This can be done through hypnosis and hypnotherapy.

Will I have to be put on a restrictive diet?

Each of our clients are different in this respect.  It depends on many factors such as how much weight you want to lose, how quickly you want to lose it, and whether or not exercise makes sense given the free time that you have, your lifestyle, your physical condition, and your individual attitude towards physical activity.  Remember, your Louisville Hypnosis Academy Certified Hypnotherapist will design an individualized program based on your likes and dislikes.

Many of our hypnosis clients report that they never had to diet to reach their weight loss goal. There are also those individuals who may need to follow a more formal diet while they are using hypnosis to lose weight. If that turned out to be the case, most of our clients are successful because they were able to stay on that diet through the power of hypnosis.  

Hypnosis can lead to success when other approaches have failed because you will have the control that you have always wanted.

Hypnosis and hypnotherapy can help you achieve a wide range of positive charges that you want to make in your life as well as making it much easier to overcome problems and unwanted habits and destructive behaviors. We urge you to call the Louisville Hypnosis Academy and discuss the problems and issues that are of a concern to you with a Certified Hypnotherapist. That will enable you to decide whether hypnosis and hypnotherapy are right for you. We are here to help you, so there is NEVER a charge for an initial telephone consultation with a Certified Hypnotherapist at Louisville Hypnosis Academy.
