Do I Have To Travel To Your London Hypnotherapy Clinic?

All face-to-face hypnotherapy sessions are held in the Max Kirsten Clinic in Knightsbridge, London. However, Max also offers online hypnosis sessions, so that you can be anywhere in the world for your hypnotherapy session.

I Find It Difficult To Relax, Do I Need To Be Relaxed To Be Hypnotised?

No. You do not need to be relaxed in order to be hypnotised. Relaxation is only one of the methods being used, but there are several others including Brainwave Frequency Entrainment, Binaural Beats and PMR Positive Mental Rehearsal. This hypnotic process has been specially created to work best with headphones.

Yes. Hypnosis is a safe and natural therapy. We cannot change your personality, or who you really are. But we can change the habits and behaviour patterns that you want to change. Are there any side effects? Unlike taking medication, there are no side-effects. This is a natural therapy. Using what we already have – the power of our own mind.

Gastric Band Hypnosis

Gastric Band Hypnosis In London

Gastric Band Hypnosis has received much press attention here in the UK and America, quoting amazing successes often mimicking the expected weight loss profile of a patient undergoing gastric band surgery. NO pills or supplements and NO surgery with the potential risk of unwelcome side effects.

The real key to success with weight loss is to stop 'trying to lose weight'. Instead focus on a goal that is positive rather than negative.

The Gastric Band Hypnosis treatment, combined with NLP for weight loss control, was devised by Max Kirsten an award-winning Clinical Hypnotherapist who has worked with weight management issues for over a decade. Max combines the latest advanced Hypnotherapy with Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Cognitive Behavioural Techniques to help you lose weight, even before the Gastric Band Hypnosis takes place. "Gastric band surgery isn't always successful when there are deep psychological issues still present and unresolved."

Max's approach first addresses any psychological issues that may be causing the overeating behaviour. He also teaches how to recognise the difference between normal healthy eating and emotional comfort overeating and more importantly what to do instead to create a new healthy attitude towards food and thus weight reduction.

Don’t try to lose weight, burn fat or fight food addiction and obesity using pills, surgery or starvation diets… that’s the hard way!

OK, so you want to lose weight, and you know all the reasons why you really should lose that weight. You really want to get in better shape. You want to take better care of yourself. You are sick of looking in the mirror and seeing yourself fat and out of shape. You are tired of huffing and puffing when you walk. You are tired of not fitting into your clothes. You are tired of being tired all the time and you no longer feel attractive. Gastric band hypnosis can help you.

What Is Gastric Band Hypnosis?

The principle of gastric band hypnosis therapy is that the client is convinced at a subconscious level that a gastric band operation has been performed. The subconscious mind therefore believes that there has been a major reduction in stomach capacity and the body therefore responds differently to hunger and the amount of food that can be eaten. As well as a reduction in the quantity of food that can be eaten, a change in the type of food takes place with the individual far happier eating 'lighter' foods rather than heavy meals.

The therapy itself simulates the actual gastric band surgical procedure and great care is taken to accurately represent the technical aspects of the surgery, including replicating smells and sounds of a real operating theatre.

The advantages of Gastric Band hypnosis over traditional surgery include:

No Surgical risks
No pain
Having a Gastric Band fitted through a Gastric Band Operation is expensive and can cost on average £8,500, which does not include the time off from work you will need to take to recovery
Patients Can Suffer from Complications with Gastric Band Surgery

There is a range of post-operative problems reported with gastric bands where patients can experience one or more of the following symptoms:

Nausea and vomiting
Reflux or regurgitation of food
Slipped band
Obstruction or blockage
Constipation
Diarrhoea
Difficulty swallowing

* If these complications cause you serious discomfort your band may need to be adjusted or removed. This involves further surgery, exposing you to all the associated risks once again.

Hypnosis enhances weight loss substantially and naturally over time.

Research Into Hypnosis For Losing Weight

Kirsch and Irving compared 100s of studies where either cognitive-behavioral treatment, or cognitive-behavioral treatment with hypnosis too was used (with weight loss being the goal) in a meta analysis. Their analysis showed that on average after the final follow-ups, the average weight loss was 6.03 lbs. (2.74 kg) without hypnosis (with just cognitive-behavioral treatment) and 14.88 lbs. (6.75 kg) when hypnosis was used. They concluded that when hypnosis is used it is likely to lead to more than double the weight loss than if just cognitive-behavioral treatment alone was employed. They also summarized that the benefits of hypnosis increased substantially over time.

Hypnosis is more than 30 times more effective for weight loss

Cochrane et al conducted a study into hypnosis and weight loss with 60 female participants who were more than 20% overweight. He divided the participants into 2 groups, one who received hypnosis treatment, and a control group who did not receive any hypnosis.

Results showed that the group who received the hypnosis lost more weight. Each participant on average losing 17lbs over the course of the study, compared to women in the control group losing only 0.5lbs
Cochrane concluded that hypnosis can make your weight loss efforts more than 30x more effective.

FAQs

Our minds work on two levels – the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. We make decisions, think and act with our conscious (logical) mind. The subconscious mind controls our habits and even influences our behaviour. Sometimes, we want to change something but find it difficult. Quite often this is because the conscious and the subconscious minds do not agree – it can seem like you are having an argument with yourself. For example you may find yourself thinking, “I don’t want a cigarette, yes I do, and then no I don’t, then go on and have one, no I don’t want to have one”. This is an example of disagreements or conflicts between the two parts of the mind. In hypnosis or in trance we can communicate directly with the subconscious mind without logical thought getting in the way.

We can change the subconscious part of the mind so that the two parts of the mind agree. This means you no longer feel as if you are having a fight or disagreement with yourself. The end of the inner conflict. Doing what you really want to do then just becomes easy and natural. This is why it is so quick and easy to change habits of a lifetime with hypnotherapy.

No. Hypnosis is the Greek word for “sleep” but it is misleading as you do not actually “go to sleep”. Modern hypnotherapy is interactive and requires you to work with the therapist and often respond by talking and answering questions during the session. This would not be possible if you were “asleep”. Hypnosis is a heightened state of awareness (HSA). It is a naturally occurring altered state. It is better to be relaxed and listening to everything – than to simply fall asleep.

Max holds a Senior Qualification in Hypnotherapy Practice SQHP through the General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR). He is also a member of the American Board of Hypnotherapy (ABH). He is an accredited senior practitioner of the Central Register of Stop Smoking Therapists (CRSST). He is also a member of the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH), , the International Medical and Dental Association (IMDHA); the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH). He practises according to the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council’s code of ethics and has over 13 years of clinical experience and expertise. Over the years many articles about his work helping chronic smokers to quit have appeared in the National Press, and on Radio and TV.

Being in hypnosis is like being in a “day dream”. It is just like you have been resting in a chair, or lying down, without being asleep. Have you ever heard of anyone getting “stuck” or not waking up from a daydream or a rest? No. After your hypnotherapy session you soon return to your usual waking state – just as you would if you were resting with your eyes closed at any other time.
