Hypnosis is a state of inner
absorption and concentration and it's usually done by a hypnotherapist using
mental images and verbal repetition.
When you are put under hypnosis your
attention is highly focused and as a result you are more responsive to
suggestions which include behavior changes that help you in losing weight.
Pros of hypnosis
One of the advantages is that it
helps you to easily lose weight. According to experts, the technique helps you
to lose up six pounds in a month. You should note that although this is the
average amount that you can lose in a month, you can lose more if you work
hard.
This means that you should
concentrate more and thoroughly follow what your therapist advises you to do.
Another advantage of the weight loss
technique is that you can easily find a therapist to help you. If there is no
therapist in your area, you can go online and find one.
If you don't have money to hire a
therapist, you don't have to worry as you can undertake self-hypnosis. Here you
only need to read articles or watch videos that will guide you on how to go
about the process.
Cons of the technique
The main disadvantage of the
technique is that you can't use it as a substitute for diet and exercise. This
means that you can't use the technique on-its-own. For you to find results you
should incorporate dieting and exercises as part of your plan.
This means that once you concentrate
on the ideal foods to take, you should take the foods for you to witness
results.
Tips on how to get the most from
hypnotherapy
Communicate: just like everything else,
communication is important in hypnosis. You should communicate with your
therapist on everything in order to clear the air. For example, you should communicate
about the trance state which is an important part of hypnotherapy.
You should remember that different
people experience trance differently. For example, some feel heavy, others
light, and others drift off into a sleep-like state. You should communicate
with your therapist for him/her to use the right techniques that will help you
access trance.
Do your homework: since you will be learning, your
therapist may ask you to do some homework. The homework can include
concentrating a few minutes about the food that you need to avoid. For you to
attain the right results you should do homework and ask as many questions as
possible.
