Struggling with Emotional Eating?
Emotional eating is more than just eating when you're not hungry. It's what happens when food becomes a way to cope — with stress, sadness, boredom, or overwhelm. It can bring brief comfort, but often leaves behind guilt, shame, and frustration.
This cycle usually starts from unconscious patterns; maybe you learned early on to soothe pain with food. But the emotions underneath keep knocking for attention. That’s how emotional eating becomes a loop that’s hard to break.
With hypnotherapy, we gently explore and shift the deeper emotional drivers behind your eating habits. You’ll learn to feel and process your emotions in a healthier way, so food no longer needs to carry that weight.
You’ll discover how to support yourself in difficult moments — with more calm, more confidence, and more freedom in your relationship with food… and with yourself.
Emotional eating means eating in response to feelings rather than true physical hunger. It can look like reaching for food when you feel bored, sad, stressed, or sometimes even happy. Often, it’s a way to soothe or avoid emotions you’d rather not feel.
Hypnotherapy helps you pause and uncover what’s really driving your eating habits. Often, there’s something deeper beneath the surface; stress, sadness, a sense of emptiness, or beliefs like “I’m not good enough.” These underlying feelings and thoughts are usually stored in the subconscious. Through hypnosis, we bring them to light so you can process and transform them. This creates space to respond to your emotions in new ways, without relying on food.
No, absolutely not. There are a lot of misconceptions around hypnosis, especially because of the media and stage hypnotists. However, in hypnotherapy we use hypnosis for therapeutic purposes. You always remain in control and aware of what’s happening. Hypnosis is a very natural state, you actually go into hypnosis all the time, for example when you're daydreaming or getting completely absorbed in a book or movie.
It’s hard to predict exactly how many sessions you’ll need before I get to know your situation and see how you respond to the work we do together. Some people start noticing the change after just a session or two, while others might need more time depending on the complexity and how ready you are to really dive in.
The goal of hypnotherapy is to help you build a healthy relationship with food and with yourself. Weight loss can naturally follow when you start listening to your body more, but the focus is on inner change, not on dieting or the scale.
Many people haven’t really learned to feel or recognize their emotions clearly. During our sessions, you’ll gently reconnect with yourself and your feelings, learning ways to understand and manage them. Often, even when it doesn’t seem like it at first, emotions play a role in what you’re experiencing. We’ll work together to uncover and address that in a way that feels right for you.
If the internet cuts out during hypnosis, there’s no need to worry. You’ll gently come back to full awareness on your own, just like waking up naturally in the morning without an alarm.
