Weight Loss Hypnosis : Weight Loss Hypnotherapy

A quick search around the Internet looking at therapists offering either Weight Loss Hypnotherapy or Weight Loss Hypnosis seems to bring us to the conclusion that most are offering exactly the same therapy but using different descriptions. However for someone without specific knowledge of the subject, it can come across as misleading, as Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy are in fact quite different.

Hypnosis is a state of consciousness, of deep relaxation; it is the state you are in when your head is on the pillow at night and you are so relaxed you just drift off to sleep. It can often be experienced when you daydream, listen to music or watch a really good film, you can become unaware of what is going on around you, it is a naturally occurring process, It is a state where you are thinking about things but unconsciously, many say that we drive a car mostly in a semi-conscious state. A Hypnotist will use an Induction as a method of getting you to that state quickly, then using clearly worded suggestions he or she will help you bring about positive changes in your life.

Hypnotherapy is simply Hypnosis as briefly described above used in conjunction with a therapy element. Your therapist may use Hypnosis to find out where your problems stem from, your negative beliefs etc. Hypnotherapy is the therapeutic use of Hypnosis, and is usually undertaken in a clinical environment. So how does this work in the field of weight loss? Using Hypnotherapy/Hypnosis in the field of weight loss can be highly effective and is practiced by thousands of therapists around the world: some of course are better than others, but that is often the case in many professions.

At the Elite Clinic in Spain, where the original Gastric Mind Band therapy was developed, they spent over two years researching and working with individuals desperate to lose weight. Initially the treatment was based on Hypnotherapy alone, and whilst this proved successful to a certain point, it failed to work for everybody, and its effects were often short lived, not the result clients quite rightly desired. During the research period, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, (CBT), was introduced as a method of 'underpinning' the Hypnosis element of the treatment. CBT is an Empirically-based therapy now widely used in hospitals across the United Kingdom; the results were quite dramatic, however they still left a little room for improvement. Neuro Linguistic Programming, (NLP), was added to the mix and the results began to match clients' expectations. Over the following three years with thousands of one on one hours of clinical time with clients, the treatment has continually evolved and improved. Revolutionary new concepts have been trade marked and incorporated, such as Pause Button Therapy which cleverly enables weight loss clients to freeze time, to stop and think about the consequences of actions such as eating the burger.

As it clearly states on the GmBand website the Gastric Mind Band therapy is not the least expensive in the market place; it is however probably the most researched the most talked about.
