Lynton Friedman is not a medical doctor and when clients choose Sanlyn Wellness to lose weight, the two therapies incorporated to reach their goals are Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy.  It is recommended that depending on the amount of weight loss and health concerns, that they check in with their doctor during the process.

"Lynton Friedman of Sanlyn Wellness has had a high success rate of clients shedding pounds and feeling better about themselves. It has been discovered with many years of counselling that individuals were focused on instantaneous gratification and have had to dispel this myth to them when it comes to shedding down the weight. Depending on how much weight is required to be taken off, the weight loss program can range from 6-15 sessions. Some clients have enjoyed the way therapies have been administered and stayed longer working on other issues that are beyond the realm of weight loss."

The important factor to remember that has created success with our clients was that weight had to be systematically reduced.  Usually 1.5-2.5 lbs were suggested through hypnotic suggestions to be lost on a weekly basis until the weight loss goal number had been reached. The client was made aware that the ultimate goal was the reduction of weight, however the process could be lengthy and in order not to get despondent, Lynton Friedman found that by allowing the clients to see small changes such as a pair of jeans becoming looser or a lessening of the impulse for a certain type of food, that the process was on track and the realistic goals were within reach.

Hypnotherapy was reinforced over a number of weeks with various different suggestions implemented into the subconscious mind, so as to change the habits that had been formed over many years.  Lynton has been well trained in inquiry and figuring out trigger points which contributed to the overall goal of losing weight.  Weight loss is multi faceted and underlying emotional factors such as perfectionism and self esteem play a huge role in negative processing.  Hypnotherapeutic suggestions were also used in conjunction with the goal setting numbers to produce a double whammy effect on the subconscious mind.

Psychotherapy has also highly effective in learning about the personalities of the clients that have come to see Lynton Friedman of Sanlyn Wellness.  Emotional eating was prevalent in many individuals that were taken through inquiry in the initial sessions.  Using talk therapy Lynton was able to see that with some clients that there was a correlations when they were lacking sweet interpersonal relationships, sugar became their substitute sweetness and when they were feeling bitter about life they chose to find salty potato chips as compensation.  Using this information, suggestions were incorporated into scripts to shift this processing.  Lynton Friedman is also able to do regressive Hypnotherapy and zoom into the first time they felt these feelings and change the mindset to a more positive outlook.  This has tended to reduce the level or desire for the food and certain flavour that is being craved.

If this resonates with you, call Sanlyn Wellness and Lynton Friedman would be glad to support you in getting you to feel better about how you see and view yourself.  Let us help you shed those beliefs and extra pounds.

There are a number of great techniques and tips at Sanlyn to help you get into the right frame of mind to begin the quest to have that ideal healthy body. They are as follows;

Affirmations are a powerful way to help the mind manifest the desired body size and shape. Affirmations were popularized by the book “The Secret” which spoke about sending out an intention into the universe and allowing that to build itself into what was verbalized or visualized. The key to this technique is to stand in front of a mirror twice a day, in the morning and at night and come up with 3 different affirmations. The next step is to do them for 3 weeks and say each one up to 10 times with conviction, while looking at yourself in the mirror. An example of an affirmation could be “I am delighted with my new found curves that make me look slimmer”.

Exercise – The key with this tip is that the exercise should be done in conjunction to the weight loss program that incorporates Hypnotherapy. Experience with clients has shown that exercise should not be forced and used with the specific purpose of losing weight or the pressure that gets placed on the individual with this mindset creates a barrier to motivation and resentment may creep in if the weight is not lost quick enough. The exercise should be more fun based.

The best exercise that you can do on your own without going to a gym and can be implemented into your daily life is using stairs in a building as opposed to the elevator. Another tip is when you are walking to contract your stomach muscles. This creates leaner muscles and over a period of time changes can be seen. These techniques are automatic and it is a matter of adjusting your daily routines slightly.

Rapid Dieting is the worst possible thing to do when attempting to lose weight. A healthy weight loss in a month is around 8-11lbs. Crash diets could lead to a yo-yo effect of actually increasing your weight levels to more than what they were before you began a dieting process and this in turn could create major self esteem issues in respect of body image and failure thoughts. Focus on a goal that is reasonable and attainable to you.

These are just a few tips and techniques that Sanlyn Wellness uses with weight loss clients. Using both Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy I can help you shed those unwanted lbs or kgs. Call or email today for a session where we can incorporate even more tools to help you look and feel the way you always desired to be.
