My Experience with Hypnosis

Posted by Tracy Rose Jul 15, 2006

Losing weight can be a long, troubled journey for some. We hit a plateau that we can't seem to dig ourselves out of and we start to look for alternatives.

This happened to be last year and I was very skeptical when a friend invited to me to a group hypnosis session for weight loss. I had no idea what to expect during the seminar, but I was comforted by the hypnotist's explanation beforehand and he dispelled many of the myths about being hypnotized.

What I experienced was completely relaxing, refreshing and, more importantly, effective. The hypnotist planted anchors that I could use to remind myself of my preference for fruits and vegetables, my craving for water and my dislike for diet pop.

I walked out feeling a little strange, not knowing what to expect, but I also felt a real sense of peace and tranquility. And I have never experienced such a craving for water.

I purchased the Hypnosis for Weight Loss CD, which has been helpful, but I would certainly consider seeing a hypnotherapist regularly to help me change my habits and reach my goal weight.
