Hypnosis Treatment
Phobia
Should you be suffering from a particular fear or are trying to avoid facing it, phobia treatment will certainly be of great help. The gentle nature of the treatment does not require you to encounter fear in the eyes unless you are ready, and only works towards the goal you specified. Duration of treatment usually takes about 2 to 4 sessions, and has been known to obtain results within 1 session. We occasionally make use of techniques from the Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) as well as traditional hypnotherapeutic methods and the technique primarily adopted originates from the behavioral school of psychotherapy.
Weight Control
This treatment is deemed long-term (first month with 2-3 sessions, followed by sessions at a certain interval) that will help you to control you food intake, benefit from healthy food intake, and to also motivate you to find time and exercise regularly. Besides educating you on techniques regarding control of weight in order for you to achieve your goal, we aim to provide you with the necessary skills to attain and maintain them as well. However, if you choose to excrete your food after a meal by using laxatives or even excessive exercise, we strongly suggest that you refer to Bulimia Nervosa.
