Virtual Gastric Band Therapy - why is it different to dieting?
When looking for healthy permanent change it is helpful to look beyond what you eat and focus on ‘why’ you have the tenancy to overeat. This can be a challenging process as you are dealing with the emotional aspect of losing weight, which is something we wouldn’t normally consider when following a traditional diet. Discovering why you overeat will provide you with the magic key which will open the door to permanent change.
It is unlikely you are consciously aware of the emotions attached to overeating as the beliefs you have formed around your weight and eating habits, as they were likely formed in childhood. However, by using hypnosis you can access the subconscious mind and discover the outdated beliefs that are making it difficult for you to permanently change your eating habits.
Gastric Band hypnotherapy will enable you to leave the yo-yo dieting behind, and you will learn to eat intuitively. You were born with the ability to know when and how much to eat, lets reactivate that, it’s time to focus inwardly and listen to YOUR body. Distinguish between mind hunger and body hunger.
To achieve permanent change, you need to have the desire to take charge of your life and health and be prepared to fully engage in the process. RTT can help you get the authority and control over your negative habits and the self-discipline you need in this situation.
