subject: How Does Hypnosis Help You Lose Weight In Spite Of Your Critical Inner Voice? [print this page] You might be aware that hypnosis is a powerful tool for losing weight. What you may not be so familiar with is that your critical inner voice actively sabotages your efforts for health. Once you understand the nature of this significant voice within, you begin the process of taking back control of your eating habits.
We can all slip up and overeat or snack too much. What is important is what happens afterward. Do you encounter a bout of self-criticism and despair of your inability to stay on a healthy diet? Does it manifest as a critical inner voice that actively chides your for being weak or a failure? Perhaps your inner voice is not this harsh, but however it manifests, it is essential to pay attention to this part of you.
Why is it so important?
This negative part of you can, and usually does, sabotage your efforts to lose weight. This critical part of you is actually incredibly powerful, representing the beliefs of your subconscious mind. You probably have heard that your subconscious mind is a vast library of all you have experienced, but what you may not know is that it also contains your core beliefs, habits and behaviors.
The critical inner voice you hear acts as the head librarian, actively implementing and supporting those beliefs. It often manifests as a critical parent, using scorn and derision to force you to do the right thing. It is old school parenting at its worst. Like a disapproving parent, it goes too far by actively sabotaging your efforts to eat better.
Why would it do this?
It wants to retain control of your life. It treats you like a child, convinced that you are not capable of facing your stress, anxiety, loneliness, boredom, depression or whatever else you struggle with now. When those emotions arise, this critical part of you forces you to eat or drink. Food and drink become a powerful distraction, an escape from the challenges of life. Despite your desire to lose weight, to have more energy, to look and feel better about yourself, your critical part sabotages your efforts for what it thinks are important reasons. You experience this as inner conflict, which robs your energy and makes you feel helpless.
Do you see how powerful this part of you is?
It forces you to eat or drink then beats you up for doing so. It overcomes your conscious will and then it beats you up for being weak. This is a clever way to dis-empower you. By convincing you that it is your fault, it remains in control.
So what is the solution?
Hypnotherapy is an important tool for ending this cycle of sabotage. Since hypnosis allows access to your subconscious mind, you now have a method of regaining control of your habits and beliefs. While in the hypnotic state, the positive suggestions you hear allow you to experiences them as real. You effectively rebuild your subconscious mind upon a new belief in yourself. The purpose of which is not just to lose weight and feel better, but to also regain control of your life by releasing that critical inner voice and the control it has over you.
As your thoughts become more positive and your belief in yourself and your abilities grow, you become more empowered and in control of your eating habits. You begin to eat the right sized portions, reduce snacking (and choose healthier snacks), drink more water and exercise. Essentially hypnotherapy creates in your subconscious mind an ally for your conscious mind, increasing your willpower to naturally eat well and feel good about yourself.
