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.

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.
