Hypnosis for Weight loss and the neuroscience

Combining hypnosis and neuroscience for weight loss is a fascinating topic!

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in using hypnosis as a tool to support weight loss efforts, and neuroscience has shed light on how hypnosis can potentially affect our behaviors and habits.

Hypnosis is a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility, where individuals become more open to suggestions that can influence their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In the context of weight loss, hypnosis can be used to target specific behaviors and habits that contribute to thoughts about eating, overeating or unhealthy eating patterns.

From a neuroscience perspective:

Hypnosis has been shown to influence brain activity and neural pathways associated with behavior change. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have demonstrated changes in brain activity during hypnosis, particularly in regions involved in attention, perception, and self-awareness. These changes may help individuals become more receptive to suggestions aimed at promoting healthier eating habits and lifestyle choices.

One way hypnosis can aid in weight loss is by targeting the subconscious mind, where deeply ingrained beliefs and behaviors reside. By accessing the subconscious, hypnosis can help individuals identify and address underlying issues that may be contributing to weight gain, such as emotional eating, stress, or low self-esteem.

Hypnosis can be used to reframe negative thought patterns and beliefs about food, exercise, and body image.

Through repeated sessions, individuals can reinforce positive attitudes and associations with healthy behaviors, making it easier to adopt and maintain a balanced approach to eating and exercise.

It's essential to note that while hypnosis can be a valuable tool for weight loss, it is not a magic solution on its own.

It works best when combined with other evidence-based strategies, such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and behavioral therapy. Additionally, individual responses to hypnosis can vary, so it's essential to work with a qualified hypnotherapist who can tailor the sessions to your specific needs and goals.

Overall, the combination of hypnosis and neuroscience offers exciting possibilities for supporting weight loss efforts by tapping into the power of the mind to foster positive behavior change and promote long-term success.

Consistent effort and mindfulness-based Hypnosis provide an excellent platform for a life free of the blocks around body image, strengthening the body and nurturing and nourishing the Body for a positve relationship.

Clinical hypnotherapy for chronic pain

Clinical trial evidence consistently provides positive results for hypnotherapy effectiveness in reducing daily pain intensity levels in people with chronic pain.

Hypnotherapy harnesses your ability to retrain neural pathways and develop new patterns in the brain and body helping you reclaim control and relieve unrelenting chronic pain.

Chronic Pain and illness is debilitating, exhausting and extremely stressful.

Chronic Pain is considered as pain that occurs most days of the week and has been persistent for longer than three months. It may include pain that no longer has an identifiable cause regions of the body that have physically healed and pain remains.

Other physical identifiable causes include: 

·       Arthritis 

·       Autoimmune syndromes

·       Cancer 

·       Chronic nerve pain and bone / cartilage & ligament damage 

·       Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

·       Complex Pain Syndrome

·       Fibromyalgia 

·       Motor Neurone Disease / ALS: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

·       Multiple Sclerosis

·       Neuropathic pain syndrome

·       Phantom Pain Syndrome

·       Shingles

      ….. just to name a few.

It is estimated that 1 in 5 people suffer chronic pain.  It’s complex and the cause and treatment options which suit one person may not be as adequate for another.  Treatment options often require reviews to medications, changes to treatment recommendations and emotional resilience falling short at times due to the sea-sawing effect to ones’ ability to maintain healthy emotional reserves when the chronic pain remains.  

As a person in chronic pain there are some real concerns to address such as their primary chronic pain site, mobility and mental distress as well as financial hardship.  These issues present consistently for a person with chronic pain and their family as a decrease in their capacity to earn, ability to maintain social connections and their needs as a caregiver becomes compromised. 

What we do know is that there is not one single treatment that alleviates all chronic pain.  It takes good communication, support and the ability to advocate for yourself or your partner.  

It often requires the combination of proactive strategies about how your mental and emotional health may be maintained and health care professionals focused on providing you with positive outcomes and improved quality of life.
