Hypno-Band™ is the world leader in gastric band
hypnotherapy. Using a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and
Hypnotherapy to help you change your eating habits forever!
Repeated thoughts and emotions associated with eating
overtime become learned behaviours which have become stuck or 'programmed' into
our subconscious mind and become second nature habits. By recognising our
negative learned behaviours, we can create new positive ones and therefore
learn a different way of eating and develop a different relationship with
food. If you can change your habits and behaviours for a period of 21
days you've created a new habit or behaviour, simply by accentuating the
positive to eliminate the negative (thoughts or behaviours) and effectively
achieve weight control and weight management.
Hypno-Band™ is a safe, risk free and much less
expensive alternative to invasive bariatric gastric band and gastric bypass
surgery. If you are really committed to losing weight then the Hypno-Band™ will enable you to achieve your goals.
The Hypno-Band™ process comprises a series of one three hour session, two one hour sessions and one hour and a half session over a period of eight to ten weeks. However, although the Hypno-Band™ process is only eight to ten weeks you have my support for a full twelve months as I also offer supportive follow up appointments three, six and nine months after you have completed the process.
The first three sessions are done over three consecutive weeks to incorporate the 21 day rule. The fourth session is four to six weeks after the third session to enable time for your new positive behaviours and your new relationship with food to become second nature.
The first - three hour - session includes dietary and lifestyle analysis, an explanation of the information in the handbook provided - including the Weekly Food and Drink Diary and a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy exercise to help you understand why you over eat and to recognise your behaviours when it comes to eating. Recognising your behaviours puts you into a very powerful position to change them. The positive results from the exercise are then incorporated into your first hypnotherapy session to reinforce new positive behaviours relating to food.
The second - one hour - session includes a review of your Food and Drink Diary, feedback regarding your (new positive) thoughts and behaviours concerning your relationship with food and further Hypnotherapy where you will encounter the Hypno-Band™ and begin the process of the virtual gastric band.
The third - one hour - session includes another review of your Food and Drink Diary, feedback regarding your thoughts and behaviours concerning your relationship with food and the positive changes you will have already put into practice, and further Hypnotherapy where the Hypno-Band™ gastric band will be fitted. Following the session you will be given healthy eating post op dietry guidelines adapted from the British Obesity Surgery Patients Association.
The fourth - one and a half hour - session is further feedback regarding your thoughts and behaviours concerning food in comparison to how they were before your first session and a further hypnotherapy session. In the fourth session - if needed (less than 1% of cases) the band can be adjusted. More often the fourth session is a reinforcement and celebration of your achievement and your commitment to yourself, your health and your wellness! This simply further reinforces long-term positive change. Also usually four to six week into a weight loss journey (particularly if dieting) people may tend to hit a plateau. Although with the Hypno-Band™ you won't be dieting, you will simply have a new healthier relationship with food; the fourth session diminishes the possibility of hitting plateaux.
Each session will be recorded onto CD for you to take with you to listen to between sessions. It is important that you play the first three CDs every day between sessions to reinforce the 21 day rule.
The follow
up appointments three, six and nine months after the process has been
completed are to celebrate your success, help keep you focused and to offer any
further advice or support if needed.
It's important to recognise and celebrate our achievements; in
doing so it helps us to maintain the new positive behaviours, attitudes and
beliefs.
