Are you concerned about your health and the effects this weight gain is having on your health? The pandemic has affected our lives in so many ways including weight gain for so many of us. My treatment plan focuses on changing and reframing the emotional eating patterns and behaviours you are stuck in so you can begin to view food simply as nutrients and nourishment for energy, like gas for a car. Creating a healthy relationship with food and learning to deal with your emotions in healthy ways. I include clinical hypnotherapy and hypnosis, counselling, psychotherapy, and cognitive behavioural therapy in your treatment plan to create life-changing results. Call me today to make your health your priority and heal the emotions that are contributing to this negative pattern of behaviours.
Our bodies hang onto weight for a variety of reasons and each person is unique. What is your body hanging onto? What is a sustainable plan for weight loss? Have you tried fad diets and various ways of eating only to fall back into old ways? What is happening there? There are things going on at deeper levels that need to be explored for our success to manifest.
Weight loss is a journey that involves a lot more than losing physical weight. Psychodynamic psychotherapy can really help as a compliment to other supports in weight loss in that it can really help to unpack the belief system you have in connection with food from childhood where most of the culprits are. By getting to the roots of overeating, undereating, emotional eating, etc., we can help support awareness of their origins which tends to help us break patterns that are not benefitting us and introduce new ones.

Weight management continues to be a struggle for most people, even though now we are equipped with more knowledge and understanding of fitness and nutrition than ever before. For many people weight loss does not simply involve balancing physical activity, and food intake. For those who use food to cope with stress and distress, having the capacity to handle distressing emotions effectively is vital to weight management. Counselling and coaching can help you address and understand your relationship with mood and food, enabling you to be in control of your body and mind.
