Weight Control and Hypnosis, a Therapeutic Journey.
On 4/3/11, Judith Grosz, LCSW, presented a seminar on Utilizing Hypnosis with Weight Control. We learned how important it was to get a thorough diet and weight history from the client before beginning the trance work. It is always important to understand why the client is coming to us at this time. Often the motivating factors can be incorporated into the trance work. Frequently, people will make a concerted effort to lose weight before getting married or after receiving a diagnosis of diabetes or high cholesterol. Or it may be seasonal—summer clothing is more revealing than the sweaters and jackets we wear in the winter and spring. We want to know a client’s eating behavior as well as their activity level. The goal of the therapy is to help the client develop normal and healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime. In part, we can do this by learning to listen to our bodies for cues of hunger and fullness.
Hypnosis is a powerful therapeutic tool that can be used to enhanceweight management. Hypnotherapy bypasses the intellect so that any and all suggestions become more powerful. The client is in a receptive state during trance and is therefore more able to absorb and utilize whatever helpful information is presented. Different hypnotic techniques were demonstrated and explained.
The seminar ended with an experiential group trance for the attendees.
The presentation will be offered again in the fall for those who were not able to attend in April.
Judith Grosz, LCSW, is an instructor at the NY Milton H. Ericksonian Institute for Psychotherapy and Hypnosis. She is also co-director of the training program and a clinician in private practice.

The prospect of having surgery or going through chemotherapy treatments can be very anxiety producing as well as daunting.
