My approach to weight management has an emphasis on understanding the reasons why an individual may struggle with weight, and the emotional and psychological aspects that drive behaviours that are unwanted and ultimately unhealthy. Understanding is a key element in positioning and empowering a person to making positive change. Once understanding is achieved we then together look at therapies that in isolation or for some in combination, can enable change to happen. These approaches will include elements of something called Mind Management which is looks at the ‘primitive mind’ and how that impacts, elements of CBT that addresses the relationship between emotions and thoughts, and elements of counselling looking at historical aspects that may be relevant. For some clients of mine using some hypnotherapy techniques prove useful.
As you can see therefore this is a complex area and in terms of suitability all that is required is a will to grasp and understand the concepts, and to then apply the identified and related therapeutic strategies.
I should also say that experience tells me that weight management issues rarely present in isolation and clients embarking on a programme with me often find themselves addressing other aspects and areas of their lives.
