The Amazing Powers Of Self Hypnosis
I want to share a success story about 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."
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 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:
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
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.
