StoryI want
to share a success story about self hypnosis for weight loss. There are so many,
but this one stands out in my mind and touches my heart. I was working in the
summer of 2004 with a young lady named Jen. She was 19 at the time and was
scheduled to undergo gastric bypass surgery. This surgery is very drastic and
involved stapling the stomach so that the person can no longer eat large meals.
She also already had liposuction but regained all of her weight. Her father had
died and all her mother wanted was for Jen to be happy. As they both sat in my
office in tears, Jen told me that this was her last attempt to lose weight
before killing herself. After her mom left the room, we began the hypnosis
session. While in a trance, Jen remembered being abused by her father. It was
traumatic for her to recall this, but helpful at the same time. Jen also
revealed that she had "built up a protective layer" with the excess weight. She
explained while under hypnosis that the weight repelled men and kept her "safe."
Self Hypnosis for Weight
Loss After Jen was out of hypnosis, I
invited her mom back into the office. The three of us discussed this unfortunate
event. Her mom said that she had suspected that it happened, but never had proof
until now. Jen returned the next week and we began working on re-building her
self-esteem using hypnosis. This is very easy to do with self hypnosis since the
messages go directly to the subconscious mind. If you want to do this yourself,
just make a tape with positive suggestions that you play in bed each night as
you go to sleep. In the four weeks that followed, I was able to reframe the way
she felt about eating right, exercising, and taking care of herself in general.
After only six sessions, I told Jen that I had done all the work we needed to
do. Last week, Jen sent me an e-mail with a picture. You see, I had programmed
her to continue to eat right, exercise, and take care of herself. Well, the
picture she sent looked like a model! Jen had gone from 325 lbs. to 115 lbs! The
e-mail was even more inspirational. Here’s what she wrote:
Amazing Letter
"Dear Steve, It has been a year since our last session. The pounds
have been consistently dropping. I eat differently and don't even try to. I
exercise three times a week and love it. Most importantly, my view of life is
completely different now. I went from being overweight and suicidal to being
thin, sexy, beautiful and totally confident. My mom is happier than ever and so
is my husband. That’s right! I am married. He's 6'4", an architect, and wants
kids. I feel like I’m living the life of my dreams. Hypnosis is amazing. You
taught me that I could do ANYTHING that I BELIEVE I can do. You are right. Feel
free to share this letter with others. I want the world to know about the power
of hypnosis and the power of the human mind!
With much
love and respect,
Jen "
Self Hypnosis Works
In my line of work I get to see this happen often. Jen is one of the
many people who decided to make a powerful change in her life. Hypnosis helped,
but the change was really due to her commitment to herself. I hope that the
sharing of Jen's journey will inspire you to create whatever powerful change you
desire in your life. There are no obstacles, except the ones YOU create in your
mind. Remove those obstacles, and you will easily live the life of YOUR
dreams.
