The author explains that hypnosis works on the mental components of weight loss such as cravings, body image, and stress. It works as a self-management, self-programing tool that helps people adopt a refreshing and calming state of mind. Hypnosis also helps integrate our deeper selves with our conscious minds to create a powerhouse of focused and consistent weight-loss motivation. Dr. Gurgevich is an intuitive, inviting teacher who explains common hypnosis myths and frames it as a normal practice for accomplishing behavioral goals. The program offers seven guided trance sessions, including one for emergency food cravings. A marvelous addition to anyone's weight-loss toolbox.
