Inspiraology team share the secrets of how to help clients achieve weight management goals
Hypnotherapy training for weight loss typically involves learning specific techniques, and strategies, for using hypnosis to help clients achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
The training may cover a range of topics, including the psychology of weight loss, how hypnosis can be used to support weight loss and specific hypnotic techniques for promoting healthy eating habits.
‘Our practitioners can help someone manage their weight loss goals in a variety of ways,’ explains Matthew Cahill, director of the Inspiraology training courses which have centres around the UK, including London.
‘They work positively with clients to help them in the management of stress and emotions. The training may also cover ethical and legal considerations related to using hypnosis for weight loss.’
The Inspiraology course training includes classroom instruction, supervised practice sessions and independent study.
Participants complete a certain number of practice hours and demonstrate proficiency in specific techniques before becoming certified as a hypnotherapist who can help people looking to lose weight.
If you’re looking to become a hypnotherapy practitioner then Inspiraology emphasises the importance of ensuring you attend a course which has a reputable accreditation for training.
The team explain that it’s important the instructors have the necessary qualifications and experience as behavioural weight management programmes are classed as ‘comprehensive lifestyle interventions.’
A structured approach for setting goals
Behavioural weight management programmes can include a structured approach to help a client achieve their goals along with solution focused strategies to overcome barriers to weight loss.
They might also include strategies for managing stress and coping with setbacks.
‘Our training allows future hypnotherapy practitioners to understand the importance of being able to work alongside doctors and nutritional experts.’
‘Our methodolofy ensures client confidentiality whilst providing them with the best support to help achieve their desired outcome.’
Generalised weight management programmes may be delivered in a variety of formats, including group or individual sessions and may be led by trained professionals such as dietitians, exercise physiologists and psychologists.
Research has shown these approaches can effectively produce significant weight loss and improve health outcomes such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood glucose control.
The addition of hypnotherapy may further enhance the effectiveness of using weight management programmes.
‘There have been a number of studies which support the use of hypnotherapy to better the outcomes of clients looking to reduce their weight,’ explains Matthew.
’It can be particularly effective if clients use a combination of approaches, including exercise and nutritional guidance from experts in these fields.’
How hypnotherapy can help in a variety of key areas
The Inspiraology training course looks at a number of different ways that hypnosis can be used in a therapeutic fashion: from weight management through to reducing stress and improving relaxation.
It can help with improving someone’s confidence when faced with situations or fears that cause an issue for them. It is increasingly seen as a ‘go to’ therapy for people looking to stop smoking.
