Mind My Weight

About

We prefer a scientific approach

The research studies described below have been published in peer reviewed literature. As such, they follow the rigour of scientific research which calls for controlling the variables to ensure consistency in results. These controls are important to eliminate alternative explanations of results which are achieved. The ideal is that should another group of researchers conduct the same trials in another part of the world, the results should be similar.

Ironically, we believe it's our focus on these variables which make all the difference in our treatment at Mind Your Weight.

The significance of the variables

Here are some of the variables which can make all the difference in research results:

Individualised treatment for each client.

The underlying issues associated with causing obesity will vary from one individual to another, so we focus on identifying those issues. Each client will receive different treatment, depending on their individual needs.

Pre-screening clients to determine level of hypnotisability.

Not all clients will respond to hypnosis in the same way and some studies have reported that those with higher levels of hypnotisability tend to have better results than those with lower levels. If we do not believe a candidate will respond to our treatment, we'll tell them in advance.

Differences in technique.

Researchers have grappled with the issue of comparing various hypnosis techniques in the gathering of empirical evidence. We argue that technique can have a profound influence in treatment effectiveness. Our focus on the treatment of obesity is resulting in the ongoing development of proprietary techniques to enhance effectiveness.

Expertise of treatment delivery.

We freely admit some hypnotherapists are better than others. Our therapists have been carefully screened before being admitted to work with us. They have each received a highly professional level of training and are committed to ongoing professional development.

Our experience is that the process of changing life-long habits and behaviours takes time and a very personalised level of care. Nevertheless, we have seen many lives transformed through people changing their relationship with food to achieve permanent weight loss.

An holistic approach

A major focus of our therapy is on addressing the subconscious mind, but that doesn't mean we'll neglect your rational side!

We'd like to uncover past experiences and behavioural programming which led to your struggles with controlling your weight. We can help you understand the trigger points that so often lead to failure and even help you overcome low motivation and exercise reluctance through the power of hypnosis.

Along the way we'll assist with personalised eating plans and help you cultivate exercise routines which can change your life. For a lifetime.

Setting realistic goals

Changing your life starts out with achieving realistic short term goals or milestones which build confidence as you get used to achieving success. In fact our whole approach to weight loss is structured around this simple truth (you might notice our logo represents a sequence of milestones).

How long it takes to achieve your target weight will depend on the unique needs and circumstances which confront you as an individual.
