Clinical Hypnotherapy

This reader asks 'How can I do it?. How can I lose 3 stone and keep it off?'
Many people have asked me the same question.
Maureen was one such person. Last April she came to me lethargic and with a similar '3 stone' cry. She was approaching 50 and wanted a life change.

She had four hypnotherapy sessions. By the end of September she was in New York shopping for a complete new wardrobe, underwear, the lot! A size 10 by December. In March she ran a half marathon! She says she is 'in the zone' and looks fantastic.

Our reader has made the first big break, she has asked for help!

When you team up with a professional two people are committed to achieving a good result, so much better than one! Together we will look at this holistically. While the right food and exercise are important factors in a weight control programme we need to see the whole picture to be able to maintain the loss for good. We look at how it will fit in with your time, work and family.

Do you get those bothering negative thoughts, the ones that try to sabotage the positive ones?

Maybe whenever you see a chocolate a little voice in your head says,
`I know I shouldn't, but ...' or, 'I'll do the diet when I finish the box.'

and what about the other excuses, such as;

"I will go to the gym this morning but first I need to clean the house ... or I'll just make a phone call and then I will go... " and you never do get to the gym so the exercise never happens.

Well, we fix this, and then we check your motivation too. By increasing your motivation, your confidence in yourself, and your focus, you really can reduce your weight permanently.

For some patients wanting a kick start I may suggest a short 9 day deep cleanse, or detox. On this easy programme you make an initial, quick reduction and then go into cruise control to reduce the rest. It is a good way to immediately see results, and motivates you to continue.

I use the well known and excellent Forever aloe vera and bee pollen products in the Clean 9 pack. Read more .

How it works
During our first appointment we work out what weight/size you truely want to be, how achievable it is and when you want to get there. We discuss all the variables and treatments. You may be fine with a normal series of consultations, or this cleanse may suit you better.

"My weight went down 9lbs in those first 9 days - I really enjoyed it! "
Stuart, June 2008

"I havent had alcohol, nor snacked, since I first saw Marilyn, and that was a month ago. I am right on track with 13lbs now gone. I feel really driven."
Anon, July 2008

The kick start programme includes:

1. the 3 hypnotherapy sessions outlined below, each at my rate of £65 Knebworth, or £75 London.
2. the Clean 9 pack @ £99 including 3 check ins, and phone calls, as needed.
3. and you will learn ways to keep control of your weight and maintain it for life

The kick start programme outline:

• Day 0, Hypnotherapy session 1 - a good preparatory hypnotherapy consultation the day before the cleanse starts. Discussion on the details of the cleanse, a weigh in and measure.
• Day 1-2, Cleanse - start on the aloe vera gel, garcinia tablets, bee pollen tablets, lots of water and milkshake meal replacement.
• Day 3-9, Cleanse continues - and includes one good meal per day.
• Day 3/6/9, Cleanse monitoring days - weigh in and measure.
• Day 9, Hypnotherapy session 2 - this ensures that the healthy eating lifestyle continues when you go off the cleanse, and keeps you focused.
• Day 23, Hypnotherapy session 3 - I recheck progress and give you the tools to keep up the good work on your own. This is the one that works to embed the changes and empower you to keep them happening.

At the end of that first month it is likely you will be feeling very focused and motivated, and alot slimmer. Clothes will be substantially looser, and you will be trying on new clothes in smaller sizes.

You may feel you would like to check in for a booster session a month later. Every session is different and every one of them specialised so you get the most out of it. You will know what I mean when you come for your sessions. Hypnotherapy is very special.

Clinical hypnotherapy offers many specialised techniques. After a thorough consultation a very personalised series is developed.

During each session you will enter a wonderfully relaxing, yet focused trance where very positive thoughts, visualisations, feelings and habits are introduced to your mind. It will take what it wants and run with them during the following months.These will consist of encouraging healthy eating, smaller portions, more fluids, and gentle exercise, plus other ways to help you personally.

Also there will be techniques for handling stressful situations, emotional issues, or building up self confidence and motivation. Plain and helpful ways to form good lasting habits where you are in control and the outcome is what you dream of.
