Emotional eating isn’t indulging in comfort food once in a while. Emotional eating is an autopilot running in your subconscious mind.
Stress, boredom, loneliness, or even happiness can trigger the urge to eat. Many times we don’t realize what we are doing.
Unfortunately, emotional eating creates weight gain, digestive issues, an unhealthy relationship with food, and for some, health problems.
One research stated that 75% of our eating is emotionally driven!
Per Dr. Albers, “We eat not because we’re hungry, but because we’re bored, stressed, or anxious.”
It offers a quick escape from whatever we are avoiding yet leaves behind guilt and frustration.
This creates a cycle that goes on autopilot and never ends.
Emotional Eating and Willpower
Many people try to control emotional eating with willpower.
Willpower works for a short time. Just think about the last diet you went on and how long that lasted. Then your subconscious took over.
Hypnosis helps you get to the who, what, when, where, and how you use emotions to eat. These autopilots are stored in the subconscious mind. To create long term change, we have to get to the roots.
Emotional eating is linked to past experiences, learned behaviors, and unresolved emotions, which trigger emotional eating.
We may not be hungry but food comforts us, distracts us, or soothes emotional wounds.
That is why logic and willpower don’t work for the long term.
How Hypnosis for Emotional Eating Helps
Emotional eating hypnosis helps you get to the roots of why you do what you do.
It is personal and individual.
You, your hypnotist, and your subconscious mind.
We start by asking numerous questions to get to those times when you eat on autopilot.
Next, you are placed in a deeply relaxed state. In this state, the subconscious becomes open to changing those old beliefs and patterns.
We resolve old patterns, learn better-coping mechanisms, and find new and improved ways of eating.
Instead of battling emotional eating, hypnosis for overeating helps you see food and triggers differently.
A New Way Forward With Mindful Eating
Breaking free from emotional eating isn’t about strict rules or deprivation. It’s about transforming how we respond to emotions and switching to mindful eating.
Hypnosis helps reprogram subconscious food habits. When the mind is aligned, making mindful food choices feels natural.
The journey to a better relationship with food starts in your mind.
