hypnotherapy for obesity

Can anyone help? My husband was diagnosed as obese a few years ago and also suffering with depression and low self-esteem. He was under the obesity clinic at The London Hospital and also seeing a Cog Behav Therapist. The clinic was closed down some time last year and the therapist is no longer there. I am very worried that my husband is going into a downward spiral again and was wondering if hypnotherapy might help him? He has been down the route of a diet/'fat' pills prescribed by the Clinic and exercise at local leisure centre but he doesn't eat because he is hungry so the next thing on the list (stomach stapeling) would not have helped him. He feels that he needs something that is sustainable and I am at a loss on how to help him.. Hypnotherapy seemed to spring to mind today!
Looking forward to any help suggested
Love and light

Hi reikiangel,
Hypnotherapy may well be able to help. It would be helpful to approach from the perspective of finding out what the weight is there for, for your husband. Also hypno may well be able to help him get back to eating when hungry and stopping when satisfied. In my view, see if you can find an Ericksonian hypnotherapist, 'cos they will have other techniques to use up their sleeve as well!
NLP and EFT are other possible options.
Have you read Jason Vale's book Slim 4 Life, Freedom from the food trap? It's been discussed on HP with great enthusiasm. Here's the thread:

Hi
Have you considered Energy Medicine at all? I have just looked at Madison King's website (www.madisonking.com) and she appears to work with those people that are overweight. Might be worth giving her a call and seeing what she suggests.
Good luck,

Hi ....
I would like to recommend you buy the 'Get The Edge 'programme by Anthony Robbins - there is a website under this name -
I purchased this on the shopping channel and after only two weeks of listening to the cd's (there are about 16 !) both hubby and I have felt radically different - motivated, happier, focused, in charge of our lives.
There are usually deeper issues behind weight problems, and rather than the painful process of self analysis, Tony Robbins helps you to get to a state of POWER, so that you can do something about it all - your whole life, every aspect is covered.
It is an astonishing programme.
It cost £120, and I thought long and hard before spending that, even tho' there is a 30 day money back garauntee - what more could you ask for ?
I would now not return the programme if I was offered ten times that amount , so big a difference they have made.
Love and best wishes
Rux
