Session One: Mending your relationship with food. You will learn to reestablish an appropriate relationship with food. Free yourself from rigid, obsessive and compulsive "diet thinking" by eating "normal" foods in everyday settings. Learn positive mind-set techniques to create change, restore confidence and increase self-esteem.
Session Two: Pay Attention. You will become acutely aware of the unconscious aspects of your eating behavior. We will teach you to practice "Mindful Eating" and introduce you cognitive/behavioral techniques to identify and disarm your eating "triggers." You will also be motivated to increase your physical activity by turning workouts into "play-outs."
Session Three: Emotional Eating. Most often, inappropriate eating behavior is a reaction to an emotional component such as anxiety, stress, boredom, anger, loneliness or frustration. It's not what you are eating; it's what is eating you. You will experience proven hypno-therapeutic techniques for self-discovery, clearing and self-healing.
Session Four: Positive Choices. Tying it all together: living and eating in the real world. Enhanced positive imagery and sub-conscious suggestions are used to overcome slips, plateaus or periods of discouragement.
