mr swordpoker sir, can you mess with people's minds so that they lose weight?
Yep, I assist on Paul McKenna's weight loss seminars from time to time.
cool. and what's the idea? to program people to eat less? or eat better? or something else?
Yes to all 3. The main concept is pretty simple. Take 'naturally' thin people and find out all their unconscious strategies (which they usually aren't aware of) and install these strategies into people who want to be thin.
For example, a 'naturally' thin person may only eat when they have a feeling of hunger whereas a particular overweight might eat to fulfill a need for comfort. We find ways for them to get comfort other than eating and install some conditioning so that they only eat when they are hungry.
Because there is no dieting involved, it's completely effortless.
Now I used a hypnotherapist for smoking....total success
For sea sickness 90% success
For weight loss........totally not succesful. It would appear thaat those things which caused me to behave abnormally as regards food are very strong. Hence the lighter life and concious awareness of when I need comforting.....this one works for me though I am a firm believer in hypnotherapy if practiced well
