Introduction

 

 

Thank you for your interest in this home study training course.

 

I have designed and developed it to enable you  go into  practice as a Weight Management specialist with confidence, and it is suitable for all qualified Hypnotherapists.

 

The procedures taught here have been developed and evolved over many years of successful practice at Hypnotherapy South West. The whole process is based on a single, fully integrated therapy session lasting 90 minutes, as this has proved to be the most successful format for Weight Management.

 

Every step of the 90-minute procedure is discussed in the finest detail to instil confidence and understanding, allowing you to use your new skills immediately.

 

There are no time limits to complete the course so you can proceed comfortably at your own pace and will have the benefit of full support throughout.

 

Once you have completed the course there will be a straightforward ‘open book’ test paper taken at home, and when this has been completed you will be awarded your Diploma in Weight Management Therapy, and then practice with the letters DWMT after your name.

 

There is nothing complicated in this course and you can work through it at a steady pace to suit you, and with your commitment to the training program you will achieve your aim.

Weight Management

 

 

About 46% of men in England are overweight.

About 32% of women in England are overweight.

A further 17% of men are obese.

A further 21% of women are obese.

 

A very large percentage of these people are ready to do something about their weight problems and will already have tried various different methods of dieting, so there is a huge potential for this type of business within the normal every day practice of Hypnotherapy. 

 

By learning the skills presented within this course you will be able to help your clients with the weight related mental thought processes with a greater confidence than ever before.

Support

 

 

The Hypnotherapy South West Training School provides courses in specialist fields only. The course has been carefully developed over a period of time, based on the many years of my personal experience in Hypnotherapy. Therefore, throughout the training I am able to offer as much support as required. This is totally flexible as I appreciate that we are all individuals and some of us prefer close supervision, while others wish to work through the course with little contact. It’s your course and you can do it in the way you want to. All you need to do is be committed and learn to the standards that allow you to be a confident and competent Weight Management practitioner.

Synopsis

 

The course is divided into ten lessons

 

 

Lesson 1

 

This comprehensive lesson covers weight management issues and statistics and presents the Counselling Session which covers the first third of the whole therapy and is designed to build rapport with your client and help you to fully understand an individuals eating habits. This will also focus the clients mind and strengthen commitment.

 

A questionnaire is used during the counselling to record all the necessary information for you to be able to customise the therapy for each client.

 

Lesson 2

 

Hypnosis begins with some suggested inductions and deepeners. The first therapeutic tool used here is ‘replacement therapy’ where an anchor is created to equip your client with a substitute for their snacking triggers.

 

Lesson 3

 

Positive imagery is used to instil the benefits your client will gain as a slimmer person.

 

Lesson 4

 

This is quite a practical step as it offers a therapy that suggests; to your clients subconscious, ways to view the food on their plate in a different way, building up a comfort zone about seeing less food than there used to be.

 

Lesson 5

 

Aversion therapy is covered here where the clients mind is trained to perceive food; which is of less use to them, in a less palatable way.

 

Lesson 6

 

This course is all about the management of weight, so another practical exercise is presented in this lesson. As part of the therapy your subject is required to weigh themselves on a regular basis throughout the agreed managed period and plot it on a graph type of chart. This visual aid is then built into the clients subconscious

 

Lesson 7

 

A variation of parts therapy is used here in the final segment of the therapy, where the ‘Food Manager’ is called upon for negotiation and agreement.

 

Lesson 8

 

The final therapeutic technique is explained here. A highly visual and symbolic metaphor is employed to allow your subject to make the transition from the person they are now to the person they wish to be.

 

Lesson 9

 

The whole 90-minute session is now brought together and put into chronological order. Timing is very important so the whole procedure is mapped out with time prompts. All the scripts used within the session are individually presented for ease of use and/or copying.

 

Lesson 10

 

A further collection of scripts and forms, presented in an alternative format for ease of use.
