Weight, Hypnotherapy and YOU Weight Reduction Program: An NLP and
Hypnotherapy Practitioner Manual
By Judith Pearson
The Weight, Hypnotherapy and YOU Weight Reduction Program, gives
practitioners a complete, fully-scripted, ready-to-use weight reduction program
that addresses the near epidemic problem of obesity in adults. This book gives
complete step-by-step, easy-to-follow instructions for managing, conducting (as
well as marketing) a unique program to add a new, valuable and profitable
service to an existing private practice. The program is based on actual clinical
experience and published research on the efficacy of hypnotherapy as a viable
tool in weight management.
The book covers the practitioner’s preparation: the program background,
relevant research, prerequisite skills, training and knowledge. In addition it
explains how to screen clients, create office forms, and deal with ethical,
safety, and marketing considerations. The eight scripted sessions cover the
clinical interview and outcomes, reframing overeating, self-hypnosis, stress
management, sensible food choices, the relationship with food, exercise, and
lasting results. The book tells readers how to motivate recalcitrant clients and
how to market the program in one’s own community to build a referral network.
Included in the book are sample marketing materials, office forms, as well as a
reproducible Client Workbook with take-home readings and assignments. This
program will help your clients stay motivated and on-track with their nutrition
and exercise plans, while working at an individual pace. Also included is a CD
which contains a reproducible client workbook for multiple uses.
