Some people are overweight because they overeat due to a psychological
condition that gives them the urge to eat.
Others are overweight due to glandular problems and heredity.
Hypnotherapy can help people get their weight problems in perspective and
learn to cope with them more effectively. Most people who follow a weight loss
program also have self-image problems that can be mitigated or even cured with
hypnotherapy. As is the case with
addiction, changing foundational beliefs about people’s self-image is key to
helping them lose excess weight. In cases in which weight has been gained as a
means of fortifying the self against the world, underlying issues may be in play
(sexual abuse is only one), which can be uncovered and addressed through
hypnotherapy.
Sleep disorders
Sleep disorders range from insomnia to night terrors.
These disorders affect
hundreds of people, which result in many people suffering sleepless nights. Lack
of sleep is a stressor to the body. The body clock becomes muddled and this can
have a serious impact on the systems that make the body work, wreaking health
havoc. Some people put on weight if they don’t sleep properly, while others lose
a lot of weight. Some even get various diseases as a result of this lack of sleep.
Sleeping pills and other medications have their own deleterious effects on the
body. Sleeping disorders are
mostly psychological disorders; hence they need
some amount of psychological treatment along with the physical one. Hypnosis
can play a role in
treatment for sleep disorders, because it allows patients to
achieve a state wherein their minds are in a less active state.
This is particularly helpful for people suffering from sleep disruption as a
symptom of PTSD.
