SuccessFit - Weight Loss Hypnotherapy in Tunbridge Wells town centre or online
I hesitate to use the title of the Successfit Hypnotherapy Weight Loss programme because, as good as it is, I can already hear you sigh and exclaim "Oh what, another one?".
I imagine that you've tried many ways to lose weight over the last few years (as indeed have I at various times in my life) - calorie counting, food restrictions, diet shakes - this way, that way, the "yes I really must get a grip on this" way, none have worked so why would this one be any different?
We know already the basic principles of weight control. Eat more calories than you use = gain weight, eat fewer calories than you use = lose weight. Apply a bit of willpower, easy isn't it?
Well, we both know it isn't. The problem with willpower is that to apply it, you constantly have to think of the thing you are trying to avoid, thus creating an obsession.
And as French pharmacist turned psychologist Emile Coue observed over a hundred years ago, "When the imagination and the will are in conflict, where they are antagonistic, it is always the imagination which wins, without any exception."
The imagination is the subconscious mind, the part of the brain which controls our thoughts, feelings, urges and desires and is responsible for the negative self-talk that we often feed ourselves. As Monsieur Coue (and many others since have) observed, any attempt by the conscious mind to override the subconscious is doomed to failure, with each attempt becoming harder and harder in accordance with Coue's Law which states that the harder we try, the more difficult the task becomes.
So, we can see then that excess weight is not the problem itself but rather a symptom of a deeper malaise.
However, by using hypnosis combined with other psychotherapeutic techniques, we can communicate with the subconscious to address the emotional issues that are at the core of weight problems and assist with any specific difficulties you may be experiencing, boosting confidence and self-esteem, allowing you to build a new, healthy relationship with food and a new, sustainable, healthy lifestyle.
The Successfit programme itself consists of six sessions of a loose structure, allowing it to be personalised according to your needs, requirements, circumstances and personality to further enhance your chances of success in finally overcoming emotional eating and becoming the person you want to be.
It can be used alongside other systems you may be following such as Slimming World or Weight Watchers, though I should emphasise that it has no connection to, nor is it endorsed by, these organisations, being based on the work of Dr. Richard Nonguard from the International Certification Board of Clinical Hypnotherapy.
The investment for the six session programme is:
At my usual fee of £50 per session, each one payable in advance of session OR
Payment in advance £270 OR
Payment of £120 deposit and £25 at each session.
The Successfit programme is available either in person in Tunbridge Wells town centre, online via Zoom or sometimes by home visit.
A free, no obligation, introductory consultation is available, in person, online, by telephone or chatting via text if you prefer.
I do understand how difficult a problem this can be and the deep effect it can have on our psyche - our behaviour, self image and how others view and judge us. I also know how difficult taking those first steps can be so please do reach out by text here or email me here - you really will find me empathetic, totally non-judgemental and completely discreet.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Paul.
Research studies for Hypnosis for Weight Loss.
I). An analysis of five weight loss studies reported in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology in 1996 showed that the "… weight loss reported in the five studies indicates that hypnosis can more than double the effects" of traditional weight loss approaches." and "Two years later hypnosis subjects continued to lose significant amounts of weight".
