Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Hypnosis: A Powerful Tandem for Weight Loss

Evidence based methodology

Numerous scientific studies confirm that combining cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with hypnosis leads to significantly better and long-lasting weight loss results compared to using either method alone. Research shows that this combination not only helps you lose weight faster but also reduces the likelihood of weight regain. Hypnotherapy, utilizing the power of the subconscious mind, can be a highly effective tool in the fight against the extra weight.

How does it work?
  • Deep rooted beliefs CBT helps identify and change deep-rooted negative thought patterns and beliefs that often lead to emotional eating and other unhealthy eating habits. Hypnosis, in turn, helps to consolidate these changes in the subconscious mind, ensuring a long-lasting result.
  • New habits and skills: CBT teaches valuable skills such as stress management, emotion control, resisting temptations, and making healthy decisions. Hypnosis strengthens these skills, helping to automate them and apply them in everyday life. Hypnosis helps you focus more on your body's signals and learn to distinguish between real hunger and emotional hunger. 
  • Individualised approach: Each person is unique, so the therapy program is tailored to your specific needs, goals, and challenges. Hypnosis can increase motivation for healthy eating and regular exercise without willpower effort. During hypnosis, negative eating habits, such as emotional eating or overeating, can be changed. This combination addresses both psychological and behavioural aspects related to weight loss, ensuring long-term success. Hypnosis can help change your attitude towards food, make healthier choices and develop a healthy relationship with food.
  • Holistic view: This combination addresses both psychological and behavioural aspects related to weight loss, ensuring long-term success. Hypnosis can help change your attitude towards food, make healthier choices and develop a healthy relationship with food.

It is important to note that hypnosis is not a magic pill; it is a complementary tool that works best in combination with healthy eating and physical activity. Not everyone is equally susceptible to hypnosis; success depends on individual characteristics and motivation. It is crucial to set clear and realistic goals, defining how much weight you want to lose and what body you want to have. Be open to change, as hypnosis works best when you are truly ready to change your habits. 

Research shows that this combination is much more effective than diet or physical activity alone. An individualised approach allows us to tailor therapy to your unique needs, and the skills you acquire will help you manage stress, resist temptations, and make healthy choices even in challenging situations. And finally, it's not just about the weight. What will you gain when you lose?
