Weight Loss & Eating Disorders
When we think back to primitive times, when food was scarce our brains were programmed to feast whenever the opportunity presented itself, or indeed fast when famine arrived. Sensibly, our brains stored this template, in order to ensure our survival. However, as the world developed, famine became less common, and in the western world, food became constantly available.
So with this in mind it’s not surprising that our plan for survival during famine stored safely in our brains can come into conflict with the reality that for most of us in the western world, food is readily available, and the result can be the tendency to over eat.
Interestingly however, overeating is not about the need for food, moreover the cause is often unresolved emotional issues, or an attempt to regain control when other areas of our lives are lacking control.
The childhood conditioning taught to us in regards to food, shape our attitude to food throughout life, and this is where hypnotherapy can very effective in understanding why we eat as we do and the habits and beliefs that can be formed. We are then able up update that old template stored in the brain, so that we lose the association between food and stress, making the task of healthy habits so much easier.
