On my birthday I got a very unexpected gift from my boyfriend. He had found a very good local hypnotherapist and would pay for me to have a few sessions of whatever therapy I wanted*. Me being me, I immediately opted for weight loss assistance, which involves 4 hour long sessions.
Before going for my first session with the hypnotherapist I had a long think about what realistically he could help me with and I came up with 2 things...
My damaged relationship with sugar.
My inability to exercise alone.
During my first session with the hypnotherapist he asked which of the two issues I wanted to address first and I chose exercise as I now have the money to get a gym membership started. The hypnotherapist then asked me lots of questions about how I am motivated, how I solve problems, how I work through things and ideally how much and what sort of exercise I want to be doing.
Although there was no hypnosis in that first actual session, I found it very theraputic to just talk to someone about issues with exercise and found it reassuring to know that my own strategies for problem solving will be used in addressing my lack of self confidence in exercising on my own.
My next session is on the 15th May and I'm very intrigued as what it will feel like to be hypnotised and how it may change my thinking.
...
*My boyfriend knows that in addition to trying hypnotherapy, I am also keen to try past life regression.
I'm looking forward to hearing how this goes - if it works for you I might just try it myself!
