As we build our capacity for self compassion, we become more in tune with what will be nourishing for our bodies. In therapy we focus on what has happened to us that made us disconnect from our bodies in this way. We explore what eating foods that cause unhealthy weight gain do for us; do we eat for comfort, for relief, for relaxation, disconnection and so on. Which part of us enjoys feeling full, eating to ease emotions and so on. Working with me to support your weight issues will provide you with tools to support yourself through emotional eating patterns that have been difficult to change.

The struggle to lose weight occurs in males and females across varying cultures. Feeling unable to lose weight can create feelings of helplessness due to trying out numerous diets without seeing satisfying results. In working with somebody who is overweight or who would like to lose weight the most important factor in our work together is looking beyond the weight loss struggle. Rather than exploring the multiple methods you have tried to lose weight, I would like to get to know you better as a whole person. When did you begin recognizing your need to lose weight? What was going on for you at the time? What does weight gain mean to you, and how does it affect your perception of yourself? I would also like to explore the barriers to losing weight, as they are often linked to unhealthy thoughts patterns and past trauma. Although a small portion of our work together can include psychoeducation on nutrition, we predominantly focus on the underlying issues that have triggered the weight gain. Together we can devise a treatment plan to help you attain your goals and aspirations.
At Reflection Centre, we offer a holistic approach to weight loss that focuses on addressing the root causes of your struggles with weight. Our expert therapists and nutritionists work with you to develop a personalized plan that includes evidence-based strategies for managing your relationship with food and creating healthy habits that last. We understand that weight loss is a complex issue that often involves more than just diet and exercise, which is why we also provide support for underlying emotional issues that may be contributing to your struggles
This is an area of special interest for me as I have been in the health and fitness arena throughout my life. Again, this would be a holistic approach, body, mind and spirit.
Are you concerned about your health and the effects this weight gain is having on your health? The pandemic has affected our lives in so many ways including weight gain for so many of us. My treatment plan focuses on changing and reframing the emotional eating patterns and behaviours you are stuck in so you can begin to view food simply as nutrients and nourishment for energy, like gas for a car. Creating a healthy relationship with food and learning to deal with your emotions in healthy ways. I include clinical hypnotherapy and hypnosis, counselling, psychotherapy, and cognitive behavioural therapy in your treatment plan to create life-changing results. Call me today to make your health your priority and heal the emotions that are contributing to this negative pattern of behaviours.
