Hypnosis for Binge Eating

Does Hypnotherapy for Binge Eating Adelaide work?

We know food is essential for life. We eat because we know it is important to eat both by personal experience and, for some of us, by learning. Eating keeps us healthy, yet eating, if done without moderation, can be a bane to our bodies. When a person eats an unusually large quantity of food in one sitting – what medical practitioners would refer to as a binge eating disorder – the person is at risk of morbidities, which ultimately nudges him/her insidiously close to premature death. Hence, binge eating disorder is a condition that must be tackled swiftly and appropriately when it is noticed.

The relatively high prevalence of binge eating disorder means it is not out of place to assume you and I know someone who is suffering from binge eating disorder. Fortunately, the disorder, though common, is treatable – evidence-based techniques for procuring freedom from binge eating disorder are what many do not know.

But these are times when binge eating disorder should no longer be granted field day among people because tested therapeutic techniques, such as hypnotherapy and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), for overcoming it are now readily accessible. If you are unsure how hypnosis and NLP help to overcome binge eating disorder, through this composition you will gain valuable insights into hypnosis and NLP, how they work and how they help people achieve mastery over their eating habits.

 

BINGE EATING DISORDER

What is it?

Binge eating disorder is a treatable but serious health condition. A major characteristic of this condition is the recurrent consumption of large quantities of food in one sitting. Binge eating births diverse physical and mental health consequences and increases its sufferers’ susceptibility to different acute and chronic health conditions with which it can co-exist.

Binge eating disorder is a common eating disorder in the US and globally, and studies have shown it has a predilection for adult women over their male counterparts. That said, it is worthwhile to mention that binge eating should not be confused with bulimia nervosa because, though it shares the urge to consume an excessive amount of food in one sitting with bulimia, unlike bulimia nervosa, its episode of overeating is not followed closely by an attempt to forcefully prevent weight gain using methods such as vomiting to eject the recently ingested food from the body.

It comes as no surprise that the disorder appears to be becoming increasingly difficult to overcome because many people who binge eat have no clue about why they do so.

Why do you binge eat?

Below are some of the probable reasons you binge eat.

Anxiety or Stress

When people feel negative emotions such as sadness, fear, or guilt, consuming an excessive quantity of food is a strategy that many unconsciously adopt to distract themselves from the deeper issues at hand. While a person binge eats, he/she will typically become transiently dissociated from the problem or negative emotions they are battling with as they exercise of binge eating tentative buries their problems deep within their subconscious, only for them to find the negative emotions returning upon the completion of their excess food consumption exercise. 

 

Self Esteem Issues

When people are not happy with their body image or outward appearance or lack self-esteem in other areas of life, they can become overly reclusive and introspective about the issues dampening their self-esteem. And focusing on what they are not achieving can create a negative feedback loop, which can lead to binge eating.

 

Eating Disorders

There is a direct connection between a past incidence of Bulimia or Anorexia and the development of a binge eating disorder in a person. However, as stated above, binge eaters and bulimics have a major difference in their behavior. Whilst a bulimic will purge after eating, a binge eater does not. As a result, an individual with a binge eating disorder will often be subject to large amounts of weight gain.

 

Other reasons people binge eats exist and they are mostly psychological. Two therapies have been shown to deal effectively with psychological issues that give rise to a binge eating disorder in a person; they are hypnotherapy and neuro-linguistic programming.

 

HYPNOTHERAPY AND NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP)

What are they?

Both hypnosis and neurolinguistic programming are effective therapies for managing different conditions and symptoms. Their efficacies in the management of addictions are established and substantiated by evidence. Hypnosis is a state of intense relaxation that produces increased internal awareness while not jettisoning the awareness of one’s external environment. Contrary to what some believe, it is not a technique for mind control however, one is more easily receptive different suggestions and ideas. Hypnosis can be used to empower the mind for greater productivity, faster adoption and practice of healthy habits, and all-round development.

Neuro-linguistic programming is as effective as hypnosis. Though the technique differs, the results are unquestionable. It involves the use of language to calibrate people’s minds and bodies. With neuro-linguistic programming, the thought processes of people who have successfully surmounted a challenge or hurdle to achieve success can be taught to others struggling with the same challenge. And this has been shown to work many times over for several conditions, including binge eating disorder.

 

How can hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming help you overcome a binge eating disorder?

Because the reason why many resorts to binge eating are mostly psychological and behavioral, hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming, which have been shown to be efficient psycho-behavioral therapies, works perfectly for anyone who wishes to overcome binge eating disorder. Both therapies help to overcome mental and emotional conditions that tilt a person towards binge eating. Hypnosis helps you to access the subconscious mind where the factors that precipitate binge eating usually reside. Neuro-linguistic programming, on the hand, helps you model the strategies others have used to overcome binge eating and employ them effectively for your freedom from binge eating disorder.

Both can be performed individually and with the help of an expert.

 

Self-hypnosis vs hypnosis with a therapist for binge eating?

You can perform hypnosis with or without the help of a hypnotherapist. Hypnosis with a therapist involves having a therapist present with you in the room where you will be hypnotized by a therapist giving up verbal cues, commands, and most suggestions as you launch into and spend some time in the state of heightened internal awareness. Self-hypnosis on the hand involves is when you delve into your subconscious in the absence of a therapist. Essentially, with self-hypnosis, you are performing hypnosis yourself. Both self-hypnosis and hypnosis in the presence of a therapist work, but a therapist makes your hypnosis journey easier, faster, and more effective.
