Why weight loss through hypnosis? The escalation of obesity rates in the western world has sparked a flurry of activity amongst both serious researchers and charlatans to discover the perfect weight loss method. Hypnosis represents one of the more appealing methods dangled before the eyes of those who are hungry for a seemingly easy solution to a complex problem. Hypnosis--The Natural Cure? Many of the advertisers on the internet want you to believe that because hypnosis is natural, it cannot harm you and is a superior method of weight loss. Dr. Mike highlights the natural side of hypnosis since it does not involve drugs and Guarantees his clients will lose weight Hypnosis can be a potentially dangerous
thing for people who are not trained in its workings to utilize. Dr. David
Spiegel expressed concern on a recent episode of Dateline NBC that a
fraudulent hypnotist was supposedly hypnotizing large groups of people
without asking them how they felt after bringing them out of the hypnotic
state. The Effectiveness of Unsupplemented Hypnosis for Weight Loss Studies showing weight loss as a result of hypnosis alone are few in number and suffer from methodological problems. Andersen (1985) reported that following 8 weekly treatment sessions and 12 weeks of practicing self-hypnosis subjects lost an average of 20.2 pounds. Unfortunately, the findings of this study are questionable as no control group was utilized and the number of subjects (n=45) was small. Cochrane and Friesen (1986) concluded that moderate weight loss was obtained by subjects using hypnosis, but there was no difference between the group using audiotapes as a supplement to hypnosis and the group without audiotapes. Self Hypnosis however is a very different story |
Who Wants To Sell You Hypnosis and Why? The material available on the world wide web about hypnosis as a weight loss method is distributed by people trying to sell CD's like this one, videotapes, audiotapes, books, or seminars. Dr. Michael Beaulieu, for example, asserts that his one hour hypnotherapy cassette which costs a mere $19.95 will "quickly erase old habits and establish new ones--INSTANTLY! The reader should automatically doubt this overzealous exclamation because intuitively one knows that weight loss cannot be instantaneous. Dr. Beaulieu talks about his appearance on the Sally Jesse Raphael show as if this credit somehow substantiates his claims. However, the Clauser Hypnosis Clinic provides testimonials as evidence for weight loss, as much as 122 pounds after only one session How Does Hypnosis Work? Considerable controversy swirls around
the mechanisms by which hypnosis actually contributes to weight loss. Certain individuals are thought to be capable of achieving this state more readily than others. A so-called hypnotic "induction" whereby a hypnotist using certain procedures to bring an individual into the hypnotic state is not a prerequisite for achieving the state (Mott, 1982). Hypnosis, contrary to the claims of some internet advertisers cannot magically reprogram people's minds. In short, methods of hypnosis run the gamut from simple relaxation techniques to formal inductions administered by hypnotists, but should not be considered supernatural in its effects. |
