Losing Weight With Hypnosis
I mentioned earlier that losing weight with hypnosis works by allowing you to create new thought processes that
lead to behaviors you seek. For example if you could create the idea that you only eat good
healthy food and then have that thought pattern be consistent and natural feeling it would result in the behavior
of healthy eating. Similarly if you could create the thought pattern that junk food simply doesn’t appeal to
you or even is repulsive to you because it makes you ugly, and that thought process felt normal and natural it
would lead to the action of eating less junk food. Perhaps that will help you to create the
thought process that every day you simply must exercise. One of the tools that hypnosis uses to create these
thought patterns is cue or triggers.
Hypnotist Paul Dixon summed up some of the techniques that hypnotists employ to help you lose weight. He
describes it this way “What a stage hypnotist is able to do, is rapidly induce cue controlled behavior. Now we
train ourselves to do this all time.
You see a red light while driving, you apply the break. A ball is thrown towards you and your hand goes out and
catches it. There is the stimulus, the red light. There is the reaction, putting your foot on the brake. There is
the stimulus a ball coming towards your head and there is the reaction catching the ball. There is the stimulus the
ringing of the telephone, and there is the reaction, picking up the phone. There is no need to consciously make the
decision to take action. A hypnotist on stage is using a similar process, just speeding up the time it takes to
learn the response. When I say the word sleep, you close your eyes. When I click my fingers you roar like a lion.
When it comes to using hypnosis for weight loss a hypnotherapist should be including some cue controlled reactions.
When you see the brown wrapping of a chocolate bar it makes you feel disgusted. When you open the fridge door, you
only see the healthy foods. When you serve your dinner portions, you put half as much on the plate and are just as
satisfied. For some people these cue controlled behaviors incorporated into their hypnosis sessions work very well
and changes in eating habits may occur very rapidly. For others the effects are more subtle.
To increase the effectiveness of these reactions you want to be very specific about what the stimulus is and what
the response is. For example, saying, when you see bad foods, you no longer feel like them, is a poor choice of
words. A good choice is, when you see the bright red color of a bottle of coke, you feel disgust at the thought of
all the sugar entering your healthy body, so you turn and walk away.
Simply put, cues are suggestions or images we create through visualization that lead to actions that we
want.
