Is it possible to use hypnosis to lose weight? Let’s see it better in this article.

Hypnosis for weight loss: when it works

Let’s start by saying that hypnosis does not actually make you lose weight in itself, but that it could be useful for those suffering from nervous hunger and consequently get fat.
Hypnosis is a conditioning system that has advantages in the case of addictions such as food addiction, in managing anxiety and stress.

This is why Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, saw hypnosis as a useful tool for dealing with traumas or learning to overcome certain blocks.

In fact, many obese and overweight people have the problem of responding to stress differently from others.

This answer has partly genetic reasons, for which it is only by acting on lifestyle and on techniques to reduce it that you can get results even if you start from a disadvantage.

Obviously, from here to talk about hypnosis for weight loss, or aimed at the goal of losing weight, as if hypnosis were a substitute for the diet, we pass it.

Hypnosis for weight loss: on who it works

Hypnosis, on the other hand, can be useful both to find that drive to change that has not allowed us to change our lifestyle so far, and to face life in a more positive way.

In this way we will not use food as a source of relief and consolation.

It can allow us to learn how to use relaxation techniques, and to focus better on nutrition as well.

For those people who overeat to fight nervousness, inadequacy, anxiety, fear of failure, hypnosis is actually helpful .

So, if hypnosis is able to solve the addiction to food, a consequence of how we deal with everyday life, then we will lose weight.

In particular, of all forms of hypnosis, the one that stands out most for its strategic functions is Ericksonian hypnosis .

In fact, Milton H. Erickson was able to treat thousands of clinical cases, all documented, even of people with hormonal problems. His work is so important that reducing hypnosis to something ineffective after him is totally meaningless.
If you are looking for an Ericksonian psychotherapy specialist you will not be disappointed.

But to understand more in an objective and above all scientific way, I refer you to this interview with Professor Giacquinto, neuropsychiatrist.
