How Can Hypnosis Help Overweight Adults, Teens and Children?

The most significant and fundamental part of any weight issue is in the emotional basis for the out-of control feeding frenzy behavior that comes after negative feelings, coupled with low self-esteem – all in an attempt to feel better (get it: comfort food?).  Being overweight is rarely all about bad eating habits or addictions to food.  As I have noticed over my many years of working with individuals:  All addictions are an attempt to give to ourselves.  The point is:  There’s nothing wrong with giving to yourself, you just need to find healthier and more effective ways to do it.

The reality is that feeling better is the least of their problems.  Addictions are an unconscious behavior (driven by the subconscious mind).  In the end, those negative emotions that are felt and negative self talk that is so rampant are as a result of how they think of themselves, how others think of them, leaving them in a clinically depressive and anxious state that takes them back to those bad habits in order to feel better again–all in an attempt to give to themselves a better feeling.

See the cycle? If you are overweight, you most likely know the cycle and see the painful results in the mirror or when you’re out trying to buy something to wear that looks flattering on you.  It is so hard to accomplish this goal and is often never achieved.

Hypnosis, on the other hand, is the one process that can help reprogram your mind, emotions and behavior to feel better and behave in ways that will change your body by changing your mind.  Hypnosis is not magic or an instant fix, unlike what is shown on TV or in the movies, but it can help easily and quickly change years of those old habits.

Yet, if change is possible, as hypnosis research strongly indicates, the retraining of the mind and emotions being the key, and must be reinforced for long-term success!  Desire, participation and time are what I’m talking about – together with an effective
certified clinical hypnotherapist – can be the key to open up and create a new you, a healthier you, a happier person who can find the size he/she was meant to be.

You Think Smoking Relaxes You? Try Hypnosis!

What’s the Problem? There are at least 4,000 ingredients in every cigarette. Around 500 of them are known to be toxic and/or poisonous causing vast, often devastating stress to your body and brain.

With all those ingredients and toxins, your immune system is constantly called upon to work hard to help you survive.  In time, your immune system becomes overloaded and stress, illness, and eventually death occurs.  This does not really sound relaxing, does it?

Do you really think your body wants you to smoke with all those toxins and poisons ingested?  When you really think about it, it even sounds crazy that your body would crave nicotine (which is one of the poisons and is used as an insecticide), acetone (nail polish remover), ammonia, lead, butane, carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide (rat poison), and hundreds more.

When you really think about it, it’s more of a habit that typically began as a teen.  You decided to smoke and you forced yourself to do it…telling yourself all the while that it was a good thing (like your friends told you it was).

Smokers like to smoke, but our society is getting smarter. Most people realize that smoking is a danger to their health, their environment, their longevity and long term quality of life.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, 400,000 premature deaths per year occur due to this habitual pattern.  And, a smoker’s life expectancy is 14 years less on average when compared to non-smokers.

Tobacco use is the single largest cause of preventable death in the United States.  Yet, cigarettes are heavily marketed in the U.S. and the tobacco industry spends more than $37 million marketing dollars per day on average.  Why?  Because they are in it for the money; no doubt about that.

Habits, any habits, can be changed if we want to or if we know it’s possible to.  Many people quit smoking every day and more and more research studies are proving that hypnosis is the most effective method out there.  Just like when you decided to smoke, you trained and forced yourself to smoke.  If you learned that, you can learn to be a non-smoker again.  After all, it is your natural nature to be a non-smoker.

When done well, hypnosis is a concentrated form of learning.  Our program is organized to help retrain your mind, and therefore your behavior, easily, without stress or withdrawals.  After all, why would the body be addicted to poison?

Of course, to some this sounds crazy because society has been hypnotized into believing that smoking is an addiction that has more to do with the body than the mind.  Your mind is your most powerful tool.  Just like it helped train you to be a smoker; it can help you become a non-smoker with the support of effective hypnosis and hypnotherapy.

Remember, Breathe………oxygen is a natural relaxant and an energizer at the same time.  It isn’t called the breath of life for nothing.  Every time you smoke, you deprive your body and brain of 50% of the oxygen it needs to function on.  Becoming a non-smoker is a very good idea.  If you want to know more about how that can happen for you easily, just call and ask.

Hypnosis: A Powerful Tool in Complementary Cancer Care

Hypnosis a Powerful Tool in Complementary Cancer Care

Complementary therapies, while not given the attention that more traditional cancer therapies may receive, are perhaps equally important while undergoing treatment for certain types of cancer. Patients diagnosed with difficult to treat malignancies will often use these types of therapies in conjunction with traditional surgical, chemotherapeutic, or radiology techniques to form a more comprehensive and effective treatment regimen. Among the most important and effective alternative therapies utilized by those diagnosed with cancer is hypnotherapy.

Hypnotherapy has been used for many years in clinical settings. Hypnotherapy’s role in cancer management however, is relatively new and indications are that its utilization has not been fully maximized yet. Effective cancer treatment often depends on the patient’s ability to not only defeat the cancer through treatments but also to maintain their health and mental spirit throughout the painful side effects of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation.

Often, the symptoms and effects of the cancer itself on the body are negligible compared to the pain and other side effects of chemotherapy and radiation. This is where acupuncture has been said to be most effective. Cancers such as mesothelioma, which are often unable to be removed by surgical means, are often treated with some combination of chemotherapy and radiation. While these potent therapies can be effective in eliminating some of the tumor mass and growth, they also profoundly affect the health of the surrounding tissue. Symptoms of these effects including fever, nausea, and general pain have been dramatically reduced through the utilization of hypnosis. Patients, who are able to withstand these symptoms and recover quickly, will often be able to be more aggressively treated, increasing the efficacy of the treatment regimen as a whole. Some specific hypnotherapy techniques utilized in pain management include altering the neurophysical configuration of pain, control of anticipatory anxiety, and targeted imagery.

Hypnotherapy techniques may not be appropriate for all patient’s pain and individual symptoms but it’s certainly worth exploring as it can do very little harm in experimenting with integrative therapies. The goal with alternative therapies, as with traditional mesothelioma treatments, is always to increase the effectiveness of treatment as a whole. If hypnotherapy can assist in any way in helping patients recover or manage symptoms of chemotherapy or radiation, then it will have contributed to the treatment regimens overall efficacy and should certainly be utilized.

Hypnosis to Stop Smoking On NBC 11 Alive 6 pm News

Congratulations, Jane Ann!Today, Jane Ann was on the 6 o’clock news on Atlanta’s 11 Alive. She was featured in a story about hypnosisas a very effective method to stop smoking. In fact, her success rate is 95%!Today a law went into effect increasing the national sales tax from 39 cents to $1.01 a pack, motivating many people to give up smoking, once and for all. Go here to see the print story. Want more information about our services? Go to our Stop Smoking GUARANTEED! page or contact us here!

When smokers try to stop with other methods they suffer misery and depression caused by the feeling that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch. The beauty of hypnosis, and the way we use hypnosis in particular, is that it removes this feeling of deprivation. It removes the need, and the desire, to smoke. You won’t need useless aids, gimmicks, or substitutes. No nicotine gum or patches. No inhalers or nasal sprays. No needles or lasers. All that you have to do with hypnosis is sit back in a nice comfortable chair, and relax. It doesn’t get much easier than that!

Hypnosis Gets to Root of Weight Issue and Food Addiction

One of today’s callers wants to lose weight with hypnosis and hynotherapy.  In the FREE 20 minute phone consultation I had with her, she shared with me that she is an ”emotional eater”.

Together we discussed what might be the unconscious drive underneath her emotional eating.  We quickly determined that the first real issue to tackle and resolve was her anxiety pattern that had been driving her emotional eating pattern and ultimately her over weight problem. Her eating pattern was a form of self hypnosis and self medication, followed by guilt, shame, and helplessness.

She is now very excited about using hypnosis and hypnotherapy to end the cycle of destruction that she’s been struggling with for so many years, i.e., conscious or unconscious unhealthy eating patterns due to her underlying anxiety.

She began to understand that dealing with her anxiety could improve her entire life and relationships, starting with herself.  She could also see that by taking back control of her own life with the use of hypnosis, she could finally take charge of her eating behavior.

And, it made sense to her that without dealing with the anxiety first, the hypnosis for weight loss would be a mere band-aid, at best, or as she’d done in the past, turn to another dysfunctional pattern to seek comfort when she felt anxious or worried.

As I always say, “All addictions are our attempt to give to ourself”….including food addictions!  The Covington Hypnosis Method process is the most effective method we know of to get to the root cause, create relief, and develop new options––new patterns that work for the greater good of our clients.

Wonderful Testimonial about Becoming a Non-Smoker!!

 

We received this letter from a client, who wrote it to a friend, encouraging
him to try our program. Please, read on!!

 

Dear Michael,

I wanted to get back to you regarding my experience with Jane Ann Covington.  To answer your questions…

The most positive thing about my experience is that I am not feeling the typical symptoms of withdrawal that I have found while using other methods of smoking cessation.  I have quit smoking several times before, however, every time, I was very irritable and had strong cravings to smoke.  With this system, I don’t have any of those symptoms.  In fact, my partner has also quit smoking using the nicotine patch and still experiences strong cravings and has actually “cheated” a couple of times.  He’s amazed that I don’t crave cigarettes, haven’t “cheated” or had any urges to smoke…even when socializing with friends who smoke.  He’s even thinking of seeing Ms. Covington so he doesn’t continue to have cravings for the rest of his life.  I truly believe that I am a non smoker and will be for the rest of my life!

One of the things that I feel has helped me the most with Ms. Covington’s hypnotherapy is that she customized the session to help me with defeating times when my cravings were the strongest.  For example, I told her that when I was driving that I smoked frequently and was concerned that I would continue to have those cravings.   She included in my session a message that when I look at the color red, that I will feel relaxed and not want to smoke.  It worked!  Anytime I was driving and had a thought of smoking, I would look at a red light, brake lights or anything red and any inkling of smoking went away and I immediately felt relaxed.  I could go on and on with examples like these…

As far as any negative experience…I don’t feel that there is anything negative about my experience.  I know that may sound unbelievable, but I am so much happier now that I am a non smoker and my life isn’t controlled by nicotine.  I honestly believe that I would never have made it this far as a non smoker without Ms. Covington’s help.  Her system is the first smoking cessation system that has worked for me and eliminated the withdrawal symptoms I’ve experienced with other methods.  I’ve already referred several of my friends to her and will continue to help anyone I can become a non smoker with Ms. Covington’s program.

I would be happy to answer any further questions you have regarding my experience.  Please feel free to call or email me.

Best Regards,
Jason T. Girvin, Georgia
