Case Studies
My clients will be sharing with you some of their personal experiences about their individual therapy sessions, why they came for hypnotherapy, what they experienced and what the outcome for them was. This will help you gain some inside knowledge into the therapyprocess as well as possible benefits that you may experience too.
Gastric Band Hypnosis Case Study
Elaine came to me desperate to finally shed the weight that she had been trying and failing to do over many years. She has considered Gastric Band Surgery but decided to go with the hypnotic alternative. We went through her personal history and eating habits, beliefs and behaviours during the initial consultation and then went straight into the first session. The first session saw an incredible breakthrough for Elaine not only with her eating habits but with her overal confidence and approach to life too. She was dedicated and gave 100% commitment so she got the results she deserved.
Elaine has lost nearly 4 stone to date and is well on her way to reaching her ideal weight. The main difference is her BELIEF not that she WILL reach her ideal weight. Here is Elaine's story.
Why Did You Chose Gastric Band Hypnosis And MCR Hypnotherapy?
I thought that nothing else but gastric band hypnosis would work for me after many years of dieting and failing to control my eating habits, the only solution would be to either have surgery to limit my intake of food or try hypnosis.
How Did You Find The Whole Program and Your Hypnotherapist Mairead Russell?
I found the whole process very rewarding, and after first meeting Mairead I was put at ease and found Mairead to be non judgemental or patronising in anyway, she is very easy to talk to, supportive and professional, but also sympathetic and empathic when listening.
I noticed as soon as leaving after my first session with Mairead (Russell), that my attitude towards food had dramatically altered for the better, no longer did the food consumed control me, but I felt back in the driving seat, with total control and restraint, for the first time in a very long time.
How Did Your Eating Habits Change?
Despite the fact that "diets" do not work, I found that I was automatically choosing low fat options, and cutting down on what I eat,picking fruit and not snacking between meals and at night after my evening meal, no more crisps or chocolate bars! I was wondering what you had done with the old me! I actually began to enjoy crisp breads and salads, cutting back on all things fatty and refusing puddings.
I was feeling good at last so I could say NO to all my comfort foods and still not feel deprived in any way. I also packed in my diet coke addiction of having 3-4 glasses a night and began drinking water throughout the day instead and enjoyed it!
When I went shopping I could look at all the items that I would have normally made a beeline for and reject them looking at the fat content and calorie content of other alternatives, without feeling hard done to, just not fancying them any more, but also knowing I could have them if I so desired but and a big but only in moderation, but in truth I did not want them hallelujah.
I am pleased to say in two weeks I ate what I wanted but only put on 2 lbs, which to me was a great success
When I go out now I tend to pick the low fat option and enjoy salads and omit the puddings. But I still do go out instead of before saying sorry "I am on a diet" and then nip out to the chippy etc. You can still be sociable and go out but knowing you can limit your intake or choose healthy options.
You begin to think and see yourself as a slimmer person and that feels good. I can also walk further feel better, less short of breath and generally not have so many aches and pains as I did before. Have the confidence to go swimming and enjoy walking my young niece to school four times a week without feeling knackered after it, or looking to catch a bus instead of walking.
Elaine, Urmston
