Gastric Band Hypnotherapy

So exactly why is the Gastric band Hypnotherapy program so successful for weight loss? Probably because it uses a unique combination of mindful eating techniques, suggestion hypnosis, CBT and deeper hypnotic work to help clients take back control. Oh and because it is also not a diet. You see diets don't work and never have done for the majority of people. The diet industry is worth billions of pounds but the number of people who have managed to keep the weight off that they have lost on a diet is actually incredibly small. Most people end up putting back on all the weight that they have lost and more over time. They will have tried every diet going and cut out food groups, eaten diet foods and it will have all been for nothing in the majority of cases. The diet industry is making a fortune out of its customers when in fact most of the time it is highly unsuccessful!

If diets don't work then what does? Gastric band Hypnotherapy is a great way to lose weight as first of all there is no real deprivation involved in the program. At no stage are our clients told that they need to cut out anything. Instead we suggest that they eat when they are hungry and stop when they are full. If they have a problem which involves them eating when they are not hungry then we work with them to find out why. You see generally overeating is caused by an emotion. The person may want comfort when they are feeling sad, stressed, angry or bored so they turn to the fridge and start picking. In the majority of cases they won't even be able to recognise what the emotion is or stop themselves and this is where we come in. Under hypnosis we are generally able to find out the emotion that is causing people to over eat. Once we find out what it is we can work with you to alter your mindset and change your behaviours.

A perfect example of this problem in action is when people go to have the real gastric band or bypass operation. You would assume that if they have paid thousands of pounds for a risky operation the weight would fall off and stay off. The reality is generally very different. In fact although the weight may come off initially over time in many cases it starts to go back on again. The person finds ways of cheating the band and before they know it they are the same size they were when they started. So physical restrictions simply work again in the short term only unless the emotional reason is tackled.

At London weight loss hypnotherapy we have a great deal of experience of Gastric Band Hypnotherapy and making it work for you. Before taking on any client we also spend some time with them on the phone in order to assess their suitability for the program. Remember nothing is magic, we still need out clients to follow our rules otherwise the effectiveness of the treatment will be reduced. In order to get more information about the procedure and to ask questions simply give us a call on 020 8351 2744 and we will be happy to answer any of your questions.

Gastric Band Hypnotherapy - How Does it Help you Lose Weight?

Gastric Band Hypnotherapy is a relatively new form of weight loss which has taken the press by storm over the last few years. In fact it has almost become a myth or a legend because of the incredible stories which are written about it in the press. The press seem to suggest that almost a form of magic has taken place and that has caused a person to shed stones in weight but the true story is much more complex than the sensationalist stories which appear in the press. In fact when an advanced practitioner in hypnosis works with a client for weight loss using this method there are a myriad of issues which need to be taken into account.

You see Gastric Band Hypnotherapy is far from a miracle and the first step on any weight loss journey is that the person involved in the procedure must be willing to put in some effort. This is easier than it sounds. You see the Hypno-band technique requires a person to fill our food diaries, listen to audio and even do some form of exercise a set number of times per week. No hypnotist whether they are Paul McKenna or Derren Brown can force someone to do something that they don't want to do. So the first thing that our clinic does before you even turn up for a session is to assess your willingness to follow the program. We don't want to waste your time or money so this is a sensible precaution which takes place during the first phone call.

Apart from a certain degree of willingness to follow the program you must feel relaxed in the company of your therapist. Hypnosis is all about relaxation and in order to get the depth of relaxation required to find the root cause of a problem a client must feel comfortable with their therapist. This rapport or trust between client and therapist is key to finding out what may be the emotional root cause of your overeating. If this rapport is present it becomes relatively easy for an advanced hypnotherapist to journey into your subconscious and ask the relevant questions to find out why you have been overeating. Any qualified hypnotherapist is capable of delivering subconscious suggestions but not every therapist can find out the real root of a problem. This takes advanced skills and capabilities.

As well as tackling your subconscious mind we also work on your conscious mind and during sessions we also give our clients conscious or mindful eating techniques to follow. Again these can be ignored by the client but if that happens they will find that the treatment will not work as well. When mindful eating is combined with suggestion hypnosis and advanced hypnosis a powerful weight loss combination is created.

Gastric Band Hypnotherapy works so well when our clients are actively involved with their therapist every step of the way. This weight loss alliance is the thing which creates such great results. If you want to find out more about Gastric Band Hypnotherapy or indeed any other form of weight loss hypnotherapy we are always happy to talk to you. Simply give us a call on 020 8351 2744 and we will be happy to spend time with you answering your questions.

Gastric Band Hypnotherapy on NHS

A number of my clients have been asking me whether it is possible to get Gastric Band Hypnotherapy on NHS. They have seen the incredible results that many are people are getting in the media and so they begin to research whether they would be eligible for this new form of hypnosis treatment. This is especially the case for those individuals who have considered having the real gastric band fitted but found that they were not suitable for the treatment.

The reality is that the health service in the UK has constrained funding and does not have the ability to offer this form of treatment as part of its day to day services. Despite many people seeing considerable weight loss with this form of hypnosis it is simply not available for free. In fact the only place where you can get Gastric Band Hypnotherapy is through a private clinic. As hypnotherapy is currently not regulated in the UK this adds a further element of difficulty as the average weight loss client does not know who or what to look for in order to get a reputable practitioner.

If you were looking for gastric band hypnotherapy on NHS and were unable to get on a program via your doctor then these are some of the things that you need to look our for.

1) Look for a practitioner who is a member of a professional hypnotherapy body. This means that they abide by a strict code of standards and practice ethically.

2) Beware one session wonders. If you have had a lifetime of weight problems beware any practitioner who tells you that they can resolve all your issues in one session. If it sounds like a miracle then the chances are it is.

3) Thinking about Groupon Gastric Band Hypnotherapy? Do the maths. Yes you will get a cheap deal but think about the practitioner who is offering that deal. Groupon usually take 50% of the therapists money and the deal is a steal anyway. Divide that 50% by the number of sessions the therapist is offering and you will find that the therapist is generally making no money. What good hypnotherapist who gets great results would be working for virtually free? You get what you pay for in this world so don't cut corners.

4) Look for someone who offers the Hypno-Band weight loss system as they will be following a fully licensed system which is regulated. This system is not offered to hypnotherapists who are not fully qualified.

Our hypnosis clinics are based in London and Hertfordshire and although we do not offer Gastric Band Hypnotherapy on NHS we are fully qualified Hypno-Band practitioners. We are members of the General Hypnotherapy Register and have offered this form of hypnosis along with traditional weight loss hypnotherapy for a number of years. Before we take on any client we always spend considerable time with them on the phone checking their suitability for the treatment.

Gastric Band Hypnotherapy London

Gastric Band Hypnotherapy London is one of the most talked about weight loss treatments that is on the market today. Paul McKenna has written a book on it and cases studies pop up in the media and national newspapers almost every week. This is because it uses a revolutionary technique to help you shed the pounds. Unlike traditional diets it does not force you to go on a starvation diet. Instead the treatment program gives you a set of rules to follow which will make you more conscious about the food that you are putting in your mouth. This combined with regular hypnosis to reinforce those suggestions helps you to shed the pounds in a natural way. Diets do the opposite and make you feel deprived so whilst they work in the short term over longer periods of time you end up putting all the weight back on again.

Our company offers Gastric Band Hypnotherapy London at two clinics in the city. Our flagship clinic is in Harley Street which is right in the centre of London close to Oxford Street tube station. We also have a further clinic in North London near Enfield. Our Gastric Band Hypnosis sessions are one of our most popular treatments as our clients know that dieting alone will not resolve their problem. They want to understand why they have an issue with food and during our sessions we can help you to discover where you may have a problem. We work with both your conscious and your subconscious mind to help you make the changes that you need. It is worth noting that there are no miracles involved in the procedure and that any form of weight loss hypnotherapy London requires an effort from the client to follow the instructions they are given.

In total we work with our clients over a period of five sessions and these take place over a period of approximately three months. During your first sessions we will be working together to find out any emotional reasons for your eating as well as tailoring suggestions for you to change your habits and behaviours around food. The Gastric band virtual surgery generally takes place on the fourth session. We believe that our Gastric Band Hypnotherapy London sessions are suitable for any clients with a BMI of over 25. Before any treatment commences you will also be asked to provide medical details as certain medical conditions would prevent you from using this program.

For full details of our gastric band hypnotherapy London then please call us on 0208 351 2744. We are always happy to provide a free telephone consultation before you book so that you are fully aware of what is required when you are on the program.
