Are you someone who binge eats? If so, have you ever considered hypnotherapy as an option for this?
You might be engaging in binge eating if you regularly eat large amounts of food in a short period of time. This often happens while feeling somewhat out of control. Considering hypnotherapy for binge eating could be an option if you notice these patterns. You may feel upset or ashamed by them, perhaps even trying to hide your eating from others. Then you might consider whether you have a binge eating disorder.
What can cause binge eating?
A bad habit leads to a compulsive addiction… Hypnotherapy can aid in addressing this compulsion and may be helpful for those dealing with binge eating habits.
Like all addiction-like behaviours, it might start out just as an unhealthy habit that gives a degree of pleasure. You get home from work, feeling tired and stressed. You might look for some unhealthy foods you like to eat while watching TV in order to settle. Then over time, the habit of eating becomes triggered when you feel bad or stressed. Certain foods and over-eating can make emotions and stress feel better. This is why the consideration of hypnotherapy for binge eating may be beneficial.
Trauma, chronic anxiety, and stressful stages in life can alter what starts out as a bad habit. It becomes a pleasurable pastime that turns into a compulsive need including urges and a loss of control. This binge eating could begin at any time in life. However, the longer you have had a disorder, the more you might need assistance such as hypnotherapy to overcome it.
The Consequences of Binge Eating
Binge eating generally leads to serious health issues such as Diabetes Type 2, Heart Disease, Cancer, Depression, Anxiety, Sleep Disorders, Digestive Issues, and Joint and Muscle Pain. Hypnotherapy for binge eating offers potential to aid in managing these issues.
