How successful is Cognitive Hypnotherapy?

Q





Can Hypnotherapy help with
weight loss?

A


Good Hypnotherapy can change the thoughts, feelings and emotions that drive over-eating or food addictions. These feelings can include boredom, loneliness, sadness, fear, and guilt.

Losing weight by dieting alone is very hard because it’s driven by negative unconscious emotions and thoughts. When the triggers are released a normal healthy lifestyle can be restored.
