For weight loss/control, please bring with you lists of those foods that you do enjoy eating in two lists:
1) those foods that you enjoy eating but you know are not good for you (not everyone can metabolise all foods), and...
2) those foods that you enjoy eating but you know are good for you.
1st session is a calm, relaxation, confidence-building session and dealing with presenting conditions. I give away with you
a relaxation CD (homework) and build-in the facility such that I can take you back into that altered state of awareness (that
Braid called hypnosis) with just a few words.
We can also discuss and consider gastric-band hypnosis (without you “going under the knife”). You might like to visit the NHS
website (NHS Choices, Healthy Weight Calculator) and bring with you the relevent results from that.5
(If you wish, you can view on the BUPA website an animation of the physical procedure for inserting a gastric band, it runs
for 1 minute 40 seconds. However, sometimes BUPA include content featuring or graphically representing medical or surgical
procedures, which are only ever provided for educational or informative purposes. If you find or are likely to find such images
offensive please do not view them or if necessary click on the "Back" button at the top left hand corner of your screen. Given
that there is such content on this site, BUPA advises parents not to allow their children to browse this site and it
should not be accessed by anyone under the age of 18).6
2nd session (preferably a week or so after the first session), I can take you in quicker, to a deeper level and routinely teach you how to use
self-hypnosis for your own good.
If you wish to view a nine minute video of relevent part of the physical surgery procedure for gastric banding, bearing in
mind the preceeding cautions, you could refer to the youtube video listed below.7
Hypno-Gastric-Band hypnosis (without you physically “going under the knife”) could be done in third visit with a suitable
hypnotic subject.
A follow-up visit a few weeks after the gastric banding should be kept and you should be in agreement with me to phone/
email/ write back to me your weight, progressivly for up to two years thereafter.
My fees for hypnotherapy are £50 per session. 1st three sessions, allow 1.5 hours (but if parking allow 2 hours there - so that
you know you're not being rushed, that's the message). Thereafter, if/as required, should only be an hour as you 'go-in' quicker
and to a deeper level. Don't worry, we can assess as we progress.
Hope this helps. Importantly, you remain completely in control of ALL aspects of your being at all times. I'll explain more
when we meet.
