Millions of Easter Eggs will shortly be unwrapped with gleeful joy as a nation of chocolate lovers eagerly start to get munching during the Bank Holiday weekend.

It can be hard to avoid indulging yourself – especially if you have a sweet tooth and, for many of us, it’s one pleasure which can lead to us quickly piling on the pounds.

So, if you are looking for help in weight management then it could be worth your while in booking in for a free Initial Consultation with Solution Focused Hypnotherapy practitioner, Katie Guthrie or Tara Guthrie-Knight.

They will also supply a free Relaxation CD for you and explain exactly how the therapy works and how it can help you.

Tara and Katie based in Bristol, Bath and Corsham, and one of the key areas where they can help an individual is improving diet control and so aiding in weight loss.

“In simple terms”, says Katie, “we sometimes find the stresses of everyday life can see us reaching for foods that may provide what we feel is a quick ‘sugar fix’ but, in doing so, we can also find we are quickly adding to our weight.”

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is specifically designed to reduce stress levels and so promote a calmer, more relaxed, attitude towards life. By doing so, we are able to make better decisions about what we eat and when we eat it.

“When our ‘stress buckets’ are filling up, specific areas of the brain can sometimes kid us into thinking we need a quick sugar fix when, actually, an apple or banana will be far better for us”, says Tara.

“Our work focuses the mind away from thinking about problems and any perceived negatives in our lives, and, instead, encourages us to look at solutions and positives. The brain should then stop its ‘emotional eating’ patterns and start to embrace a more healthy diet.”

Each session with Katie or Tara lasts for an hour and the actual results using the Solution Focused Hypnotherapy model can, in some cases, be fairly fast because people can find they embrace real change within eight to 12 appointments.

The structure of the session is designed to encourage positive thinking during the course of the first 25 minutes or so prior to the actual hypnosis itself – which lasts for around 20 minutes or so.

During this time, the fully-qualified and insured practitioner guides the client into a state of deep relaxation so their mind can start to feel positive about life and make decisions that are beneficial for them – including eating healthily.

Tara and Katie are member’s of the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH), which sets out to ensure its members adhere to its high standards and code of conduct.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can also be used to help improve confidence and sleep patterns, ease anger and anxiety based issues, and also in focusing someone’s mind on quitting smoking in a single session.
