One of the most common requests I
receive is to help someone, through hypnotherapy, to live a healthy lifestyle.
Each person will have a specific issue or area that he or she would like to
address and/or focus on or improve or change. Hypnotherapy is such an effective
tool to facilitate these health-related behavior changes because the hypnosis
scripts incorporate the client’s own words and motivations to achieve those
goals. I reinforce these suggestions by creating
suggestibility-specific scripts (e.g., physical or emotional
suggestibility) with which my client's subconscious mind will
identify, accept and understand so that he or she can easily and
comfortably accomplish their objectives, including:
· Lose weight or maintain weight lost
· Stop smoking
· Improve quality/quantity of sleep
· Exercise/increase physical activity
· Reduce/manage stress
· Make healthy food choices
· Drink more water/increase hydration
· Improve/increase motivation to follow the new lifestyle regimen.
