Often our excessive eating and weight issues can be linked to strong emotional conflicts. In this way an individual’s brain starts to learn that eating is a cure for any negative feelings they may be experiencing. Once this happens generally a habit is formed that does not serve an individual.. and a long term destructive a cycle begins to take hold.
Emotional eating that is caused by these inner conflicts can be resolved so an individual is no longer at the mercy of these emotions and can break free from this cycle. Eating in this way is partly a way of coping with emotional conflicts and is also partly established as a habit.
The process of Clinical Hypnotherapy allows the client to step off the roundabout of emotional eating, as well as uncovering the underlying emotional conflicts, where they originated from and how to clear them.
