I’m Bob Crow a behavioral therapist, board certified in medical and clinical hypnosis that works with individuals using hypnosis for weight loss in Atlanta, GA. I see eight people a day that want to lose weight with the powerful tool of hypnotherapy. I would imagine that none of these people set out to become overweight on purpose. It happened gradually, maybe two pounds, ten pounds or even much more year after year after year. They make futile attempts at cutting back on what they eat, but since they continue to eat and crave trigger foods, that doesn’t work.  Hypnosis for weight loss helps these individuals to think and feel differently about food.

If you are like the millions of other Americans with a weight problem, you have added yet more weight this year. In fact the average American puts on between three to eight pounds every year just during the holidays!!! After fifteen years, a person’s weight could be 60, 90 pounds or even much more. Many that come to see me for permanent weight loss are 100 pounds overweight. Obviously that’s unhealthy. The high fat – high sugar – high salt foods that not only make one heavy, also make the chances of contracting colon cancer, high blood pressure, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease,  Type II Diabetes and other life threatening diseases extremely high.

Being aware of the negative impact on their health, self confidence and ability to enjoy many facets of an enjoyable life, millions of people year after year make a New Year’s Resolution which always is a futile attempt to lose weight. Some go to the gym and try to exercise it off, but the math just doesn’t work. There isn’t enough time in a day to take off the weight with exercise alone. Others try the latest silly diets. It seems everyone is looking for a way to lose weight effortlessly. The average diet lasts less than seventy two hours!

Those that come to me for weight loss  hypnosis in Atlanta, Georgia learn that real behavioral change is the answer. They also learn that it is impossible for one to make permanent behavioral change in their conscious mind. The emotional cues like – worry, stress, anger, sadness, loneliness coupled with the trigger foods are embedded in the cognitive maps of the subconscious mind that cause the overeating cycle – will be neutralized during the hypnosis sessions.

The goal is to be fit, trim and healthy. That will lead to a more confident and enjoyable life. If you are ready – call Bob Crow for weight loss through hypnosis.

I’m Bob Crow. I’m a behavioral therapist board certified in both medical and clinical hypnosis, practicing in Atlanta Georgia. The people that have came to me to stop smoking with hypnosis, became permanent non smokers.

So you’ve made a New Year’s resolution, again… to stop smoking. You’ve done this to begin to get healthy and have much less chance of contracting cancer or emphysema. Congratulations. But… you also made a resolution last year. How’d you make out with that resolution to stop smoking? Right. You probably made a similar resolution the year before and probably for many years. You were determined in to finally stop, but here you are still smoking. What happened? Is it because you didn’t try hard enough? No.

Don’t beat yourself up at still being a smoker. The number of smokers that have quit smoking cold turkey permanently, not for just a few years, weeks or months, but permanently –is so small as to be statistically impossible to measure. A New Year’s resolution is only a promise you made to yourself. Nothing more. There is no power in and of itself in a New Year’s resolution. Why weren’t you able to stop? Here’s the answer.

What you did was to try to stop smoking in your conscious mind with willpower and discipline. But… the cigarette smoking habit is located in the cognitive maps of the subconscious mind! Wrong address! You can’t reach or change a habit that resides in the cognitive maps of the subconscious mind with will power and discipline or even a New Year’s resolution!

The only way one can access the subconscious mind deliberately, is with hypnosis. Hypnosis is the bridge to the subconscious mind. This works!

If you’d like to become a non smoker instead of trying to quit smoking, give me a call. You’ll see that there is a big difference in becoming a non smoker through hypnosis, than struggling to quit.

Hypnosis is an incredible tool for weight loss.  The “New Year” is typically a time for resolutions pertaining to health. Many people want to lose excess weight to become healthier.  Stopping smoking is another resolution that is also very popular in January.

Of course the time of year is not the only thing that helps people decide to become healthy.  Many people are motivated by an event or a doctor’s visit.   Some find themselves motivated by a friend or their health insurance bills.

Studies show that the best motivator is to decide to change.  Making a decision is much more powerful than the kind of motivation which comes from outside of you.  This type of motivation is called intrinsic.

When we are intrinsically motivated to lose weight or stop smoking or change in any way, we have a much more powerful sense of determination and commitment than is seen with other types of motivation. We have found within ourselves a strong desire.  This type of desire and commitment helps you to move past the typical obstacles with a goal of this magnitude.  It’s stronger than the obstacles and so the level of success is much higher.

People who describe the experience of finally “deciding” to make a change say that they felt there was no option.  The change was going to happen.  They were determined.  They stopped thinking about it and took action.

The New Year gives us all the opportunity to find that intrinsic motivation.  The symbolic new beginning wipes the slate clean. We leave all our bad habits and behaviors in the past and the New Year is the beginning of a new way of living.

Now is the time to dig down and find your intrinsic motivation.  Hypnosis and hypnotherapy are  great techniques to find your desires and create an empowered New Year.

Hypnosis is an incredible tool to stop smoking. Smoking is a dangerous, even deadly habit. It’s a leading cause of cancer. It also increases your risk for heart attacks, strokes, lung disease, and other health problems, including bone fractures and cataracts.   Millions of people in America still smoke even though the evidence is clear that smoking kills.

During hypnosis to stop smoking we use suggestions to create an aversion to smoking. By giving the suggestion that the cigarette will taste bad, the desire to smoke will decrease. We use suggestions to help overcome the habitual thoughts by replacing them with healthier thought processes.  We also use suggestions to reinforce all the health benefits of becoming a non-smoker such as:

• Breath is fresher
• Sense of smell is improved
• Sense of taste improves.
• Increased cardiovascular function
• Lungs heal and risk of cancer begins to drop within months.

Along with the physical benefits of becoming a non-smoker there are also psychological benefits.

• Improved self confidence
• Improved self-esteem due to overcoming this addiction/habit.
• Freedom to go where you wish
• The ability to widen your social connections
• Increased desire to improve health.

When you stop smoking your world will open up in many ways. Many of my clients who become non-smokers find that they begin to have a more active lifestyle.  Some might start an exercise program or be able to travel more easily without feeling restricted on airplanes, trains etc.  Many find that other health concerns improve or resolve completely.  Of course lung related issues will improve but there are many other syndromes and illnesses that also may improve:

• Back Pain
• Insomnia
• Fibromyalgia
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
• Irritable Bowel/ Diverticulitis
• Anxiety and panic attacks
• Improved memory

Stopping smoking is the one thing that every smoker should do this year.  The improvements will be seen within weeks.  Now is the time to take action and overcome this disgusting habit.

If you’d like to become a non-smoker this New Year, call me for all the information you need to decide.
