Many people see hypnotherapists to help achieve behavioural changes effectively. Hypnotherapists are skilled professionals, capable of inducing in clients deep, meditative, trance states characterized by total calm, and heightened wakefulness. Self hypnosis for weight loss, or for other therapeutic goals, are done without the aid of professional assistance, but it involves the same principles a hypnotherapist uses to help with reprogramming the subconscious part of the personality.

Hypnotherapy has proven to be a safe and effective therapeutic procedure to help people change negative habits like gambling, procrastination, or smoking, for example. The key to its effectiveness lies in that it works with the subconscious part of the personality, which houses the blueprints or motives for much behaviour patterns. In a state of hypnotic induction, specific suggestions from the therapist, or the individual, helps to reprogram the mind to become susceptible to new, desired, empowering beliefs, thoughts, and motives.

Newcomers to hypnotic induction will be better off consulting the right professional first, to not only experience what it is like, but also to learn the proper techniques. One will also get ample opportunity in the presence of an experienced professional to practice and rehearse mastering the technique for purposes of self induction. It is the only way to make sure the wished-for goals can be achieved, and to avoid disappointment, and wasting time.

Much of learning to reprogram the subconscious mind hypnotically involves replacing old, limiting, self-defeating beliefs and behaviours with new, empowering ones. It is in essence a matter of offering specific, appropriate suggestions to the mind while it is deeply at ease. Moreover, in that mental mode of utter calm and alertness, the person gets to visualize many times over what the new personality looks and feels like, after having reached the desired goals.

When it comes to losing extra fat through self-initiated hypnotherapy, the first step would be to make a list of the problem behavioural patterns and beliefs that contribute to being overweight. These might include overeating, consuming unhealthy foods, or impulsive eating, or even feelings of anxiety when under stress. For the process to work, it is important to have a clear idea of what the problematic, target beliefs and behaviours are, and what the alternative, wanted ones are, before going into a hypnotic state.

Here are examples of beliefs that might contribute to weight gain, and that could form the target for bringing about change while in an hypnotic state. 'Eating is good for stress release, ' or 'I will never have a slim body, so I might as well keep eating.' Actions one might wish to adopt and visualize to help solve the problem might include regular moderate exercise, consuming healthier foods, eating slowly, or learning to meditate to help with stress and anxiety.

Some people are under the impression that hypnotherapy is the same as engaging in fantasies to change unwanted behaviours. This is far from the truth, however. In itself, it is one of the most effective, concrete, specific, and powerful actions an individual could take to overcome problem behaviours and attitudes. For self-initiated hypnotherapy to be successful requires patience, consistent practice, and applying the correct procedure.

Hypnotherapy might not produce the desired results for everyone. Whether aided by a therapist, or created through one's own efforts, it does require consistent practice to achieve success. People that have managed to achieve the longed-for body shape and size through the process have been at it regularly, however.
