Of all of the problems we class as ‘eating disorders’ the one that tends to take the longest to sort out is anorexia nervosa. It can be done, though, and good self hypnosis recordings can really help people.

Anorexia statistics

Anorexia is an illness that is said to affect between 0.5% and 1% of Americans, and 90%-95% of these sufferers are adolescent girls and women. The disorder usually starts in early adolescence or mid adolescence, is one of the most common psychiatric problems for younger women and is one of the most dangerous of the mental health conditions in that it has one of the highest death rates.

The main symptoms of anorexia nervosa

These include a huge fear of gaining weight and a revulsion of body fat, especially the person’s own body-fat, a literal distortion of what the person looks like, sometimes a total denial that there is a weight problem and very often the girl or the woman has no menstruation.

What to look out for with anorexia nervosa – the warning signs

Warning signs include excessive weight loss, thinking about food and weight and calories and diets all the time, being ‘unable’ to eat certain types of food, talking about being overweight a lot, not admitting they are hungry and having elaborate rituals around food. The main thing, of course, is the total preoccupation with food and weight.

Anorexia nervosa heath problems

These include low blood pressure, slow heart rate and the eventual risk of heart failure, weakness, dehydration, osteoporosis, hair loss and the growth of downy hair over the body (to keep the body warm!)

How can self hypnosis recordings help with anorexia

Self hypnosis recordings literally train your mind, and they do this in a variety of ways. Repeated suggestions to be healthy, fit and lean and relaxed about food will have a cumulative effect. The issue is that they may take some time to have a beneficial effect and someone suffering from anorexia, due to the debilitating symptoms, tend to give up if they aren’t getting results. It becomes just another thing they tried and failed at.

Being persistent

So it is vital that the person gets into the routine of listening, after all, most of these recordings can be played every night at bedtime so the only effort involved is pressing the ‘play’ button on the CD player or MP3 player.

NLP and anorexia

Some recordings, such as Debbie Williams’ ‘Stop Anorexia’ also provide simple NLP mind-training exercises. Debbie suffered from an eating disorder herself when she was younger and really does understand how difficult it can be to overcome issues such as anorexia without the appropriate kind of help. As a practising NLP trainer and hypnotherapist her recordings are based both on personal experience and more than ten years clinical experience specialising in eating disorders.

Stop Anorexia Nervosa is also available from the UK.

Stop Overeating: Self Hypnosis Help For Overeating

Methods To Stop Overeating That Work!

There are a number of tried and tested methods to help someone to eat a sensible balanced diet, to stop overeating or stop binge eating. If you were to closely follow the following regime it would almost certainly work for you:

• Only eat when you are hungry • Eat slowly, very slowly, and always put the knife and fork down while you are chewing. Really focus your mind on the taste of the food. • Eat whatever you want to • Just eat when you eat, don’t watch TV or read a newspaper whist eating. • Stop eating when you are full

These are proven methods to help someone eat well. They do have some drawbacks, though.

• It is very important to eat breakfast every day, so what if you are not hungry at breakfast time? • How do you get into the habit of eating slowly? • The idea of eating whatever you want to seems bizarre to those who overeat. Wouldn’t this make overeating and binge eating more likely? (no, by the way) • How can you have a social meal with the family, or a business lunch, if you are focussing only on the food? • How do you know when you are full? • How do you stop overeating when you are full?

Eating well as a way of life

Some people do get their heads around the principles above and are very successful. Many others, however, try to adopt these principles but find themselves slipping back into old habits, and it seems to them that trying to eat this way was just another ‘diet’ that didn’t last. What many people need, to stop them from overeating and to start eating healthily, is help.

Stop overeating: How self hypnosis can help with over-eating problems

Overeating is a habit, and hypnosis is brilliant at dealing with habits. It deals with them at an unconscious level, using suggestion, relaxation, visualization, and a host of other things that have been proven to help people change these habits. Some self help recordings to stop overeating also use NLP techniques which more consciously ‘train’ your mind to begin to create the sort of outcome that you desire.

‘Stop Overeating’ by Debbie Williams

One such self hypnosis recording is Debbie Williams’ ‘Stop Overeating’. Debbie overcame her own personal battles with an eating disorder many years ago and now has more than ten years of clinical experience helping people with such issues as bulimia, anorexia, binge eating disorder, weight control and overeating. Her new recordings use both hypnotherapy and NLP to retrain the mind at both conscious and unconscious levels and carry a full guarantee. You will need to listen repeatedly for best effect.
