Hypnosis for Eating Disorders

How can Hypnotherapy help you overcome your eating disorder?

Hypnotherapy used in conjunction with NLP can be highly effective in the treatment of Anorexia and Bulimia. I use a combination of techniques when treating eating disorders including the following:

o Teaching self hypnosis
o Direct suggestions to stop binge/purge cycle
o Lowering levels of anxiety
o Increasing feelings of confidence and self esteem
o Emphasizing feelings of general well being
o Exploration of early memories and relationships
o Re-accessing body feelings such as hunger or fullness
o Identifying and secondary gains (reasons for holding onto bulimia/anorexia)
o Identifying triggers - loneliness, boredom, anger, depression, tranquillizing from anxiety, low self esteem, self worth measured by weight, unhappy or disrupted personal life - and finding more constructive ways of dealing with these issues.
o Prohibition of certain foods (Bulimia only)
o Increase motivation
o Stimulating motivation to eat (Anorexia only)
o Goal setting
o Accessing true body image
