Hypnosis for Weight Loss
According to the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, the weight loss attained was significantly
higher for participants in a clinical trial who had undergone hypnosis as well as behavioral modification
to control their food intake.
She features the Weight Release-Body Builder-Confidence Package, the Body Builder Mental Mastery
Program, the Appetite Zapper Program and the Workout Compulsion Program.
There are many more DVD's and packages to choose from. One of my favorite titles was the Love
Thyself Program. Featured on the website for Wendi Friesen was the ability of hypnotherapy to address
the core problem behind our addictions. Once we identify the issue, we can release it from our self
destructive behaviors.
People with compulsive eating problems usually have an emotional conflict that has remained
unresolved. Often, they seek comfort from food for an anxiety, stress or anger that constantly upsets
them.
Hypnotherapy can help you release the past anxieties, guilt and fears that keep you from realizing your
goals in all aspects of your life. Reasons for self sabotage in weight loss can range from fear of intimacy
to equating the comfort of food to love.
Wendi Friesen's hypnosis programs recommend deconstructing negative thought patterns and many of
her CD's address issues with stress,low confidence and grief or loss. I believe that success in all areas
of life, not just matters of weight loss, comes down to attitudes towards ourselves and others.
Therefore, I feel this approach to combating any addiction, whether it's food, smoking or alcohol, is an
option worth using to unlock our personal potential.
One of Wendi's programs was to hypnotize an individual to stop procrastinating. Probably, this would be
a key program to start with. We all put off quitting our bad habits and tell ourselves we'll start tomorrow. If
you need to start losing weight, today is the day to get going.

Americans are obsessed with the idea of attaining the perfect body and becoming
thin. You can't avoid seeing products, weight loss pills and new diet offers all the time
on the television, radio and in magazines. Yet, ironically, as a nation, we are
constantly expanding our waistlines and obesity is becoming epidemic.
Hypnosis for weight loss is not only a "novel" approach to losing weight, it really, really
works and changes the mind set of the people who use an effective hypnosis
program. The one we're about to talk about is one such effective program, in fact it
may be the most effective self-induced hypnosis program available for weight loss
today.
An interesting approach to the weight loss dilemma is the idea of hypnosis as it
relates to controlling our addiction to food. Wendi Friesen offers freedom from
addictions of many kinds and included in that is the attainment of weight loss through
hypnotherapy.
The concept behind hypnosis to help you reach
a goal, for example, weight loss, is to reach
your subconscious mind.
Through the Wendi Friesen Zen of Thin
hypnosis program, you can learn to alter your
eating behavior patterns and stop self
sabotaging your desire to get rid of fat.
This CD hypnosis program
is my personal favorite and
produces darn near
miraculous reduction of
appetite as well as
motivation to do healthy
things regularly like drink
lots of water and get your exercise in.
Hypnosis is defined as a relaxed state of mind
or concentration. Hypnotherapy, when used
correctly, can release blocks and fears and
help us make positive changes in the way we
think and our behaviors.
If you apply the definition and purpose of
hypnotherapy to an individual who has tried
many different diets and has not succeeded
with weight loss, it may be an approach worth
adding to their efforts.
To be a good candidate for hypnosis, the
individual must be a willing participant. There
are a variety of different programs and
packages available from Wendi Friesen to
enhance your dietary and weight loss efforts.
