Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH) is a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), hypnosis, and mindfulness. That means I use a variety of techniques to help clients work on their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to achieve their goals.
For example, let’s say that you’re having a moment; your boss is demanding completion of a task RIGHT NOW, your kids are screaming and needing attention, and you really just need a moment to yourself. Once you take care of the boss and the children, you find yourself in your kitchen, looking for something sweet or salty to eat. Maybe you think that you’re treating yourself for managing so much stress in a short time. Maybe you’re grabbing that snack because you deserve it or you can’t live without it. A few minutes later, you feel bad for eating that junk food; you start beating yourself up. You become irritable towards your family and friends. You’re not sure what to do with feeling guilty or even physically unwell and anxious after all of this, so you reach for another bit of junk food, and it starts all over again.
Maybe you feel like that’s not a problem for you, or maybe you do feel it is a problem or could eventually become a problem. But did you know that this is a SOLVEABLE problem?
I can help you overcome this vicious cycle using CBH techniques, such as changing your thought processes, examining your emotions and triggers, and imagining scenes where you change your in-the-moment behaviours. You may even discover additional benefits of CBH, such as becoming more resilient to stress and anxiety, developing coping mechanisms, and actually behaving differently in stressful situations. CBH is an evidence-based methodology, meaning there is a lot of research and data that proves its effectiveness. Start your journey to overcoming your stress eating today by contacting me here.
