Miss E came to therapy for weightloss wanting to lose 2 1/2 stone in all. she is 29 and came out of a failed relationship 6 months ago . she is now ready to look for another partner but she is scared as her previous partner of 6 years was very controlling and almost seemed to want her to stay over weight.
she has struggled with her weight since she was 12 or 13 and her parents badgered her about being unattractive and eating too much. she has tried many diets but always seems to put the weight back on again after a while. she is going on an all girls hoilday in 3 months and hopes to have lost weight by then.

Answer Dear Deborah,
This client has confidence and self esteem issues which may cause the weight reduction problem. She would require what we call "regression hypnosis" and find the "ise" (initial sensitizing event) and "sse" (subsequent sensitizing events) and desensitize all (the subconscious has all the answers). Also she'll require some "guilt release" (real or imagined), possibly some Gestalt chair therapy, forgiveness, confidence and self esteem building in addition to direct weight reduction suggestions. A qualified hypnotist/hypnotherapist would be the way to go. If you need a qualified hypnotist send your address and I will try to find one in your area. Also weight loss cd's from Tom Nicoli (www.TomNicoli.com) are very good, but a private session with a qualified hypnotist/hypnotherapist is in order here. It is very possible to reach her goal in that span of time.
