Lose Weight, Control Anxiety, Reduce Stress with John Mondello, Hypnotherapist

CONTROL: Lose Weight | Control Anxiety | Reduce Stress

Lose Weight
As many of you know quick fix diets are not a lasting solution. Better to focus on lifestyle changes for overall health. By becoming more aware of the relationship between mind and body, you can be more attuned to hunger and appeasement signals. Hypnosis can help facilitate a “mindful” eating experience, being aware of the taste and texture of food and the experience of fullness or appeasement. Hypnosis can help change the way you eat and facilitate a healthier relationship with food without feeling deprived. With the use of hypnosis you can increase feelings of self efficacy, confidence, and self esteem, all critical in a successful lifestyle change. If you eat in response to stress, hypnosis can help to alleviate the stress response and suggestions can be made to respond to stress with health enhancing choices.

Control Anxiety
Some anxiety is a normal and protective response in threatening situations. It has it’s origins in those parts of you brain that register danger and release hormones triggering your flight or fight syndrome. However, if your feeling anxious all the time and not sure why, it can affect things like job performance, concentration, and sleep. If anxiety affects your life in this way, hypnosis can help to alleviate it at the source; those unconscious physiological systems that affect blood pressure, heart rate, and muscle tension. In hypnosis, we can suggest cues to trigger a relaxation response when in an anxiety provoking situation, and you can gain insight into the origins of your anxiety. For many the consistent practice of self hypnosis can significantly reduce anxiety.

Reduce Stress
Individuals who consistently practice self hypnosis often find they are better able to handle stress and feel more relaxed overall. Posthypnotic suggestion can help trigger a relaxation response in stressful situations. Individuals can also learn cues in hypnosis that can trigger a relaxation response. Visualization techniques in hypnosis can provide a nice break from everyday stress, and the consistent use of self hypnosis may help reduce heart rate, lower blood pressure and reduce anxiety. Post Hypnotic suggestions can be used to respond to stress in healthy versus unhealthy ways. For example, suggesting you exercise or practice a hobby after work rather then use alcohol or eat excessively.
