Hypno Weight Loss Jab
Mimicking the effects of weight loss jabs through the power of hypnosis and the subconcious
How hypnosis may support weight management
Weight loss jabs affect appetite, blood sugar levels and cravings, helping people to feel fuller for longer and better able to manage their food choices. For those unable or unwilling to use them, hypnosis may be an alternative worth considering.
Whilst hypnosis does not contain medication or reproduce the biological effects of weight loss jabs, it may help mimic the feelings of fullness and encourage you to become more mindfully aware of your habits, food choices and relationship with eating. 'Jab hypnosis' uses focused attention, guided imagery and suggestion to help create changes in weight and food-related thoughts, patterns and behaviours.
How the hypno weight loss jab programme works
The hypno weight loss jab works by reprogramming unhealthy habits at a subconscious level and so helping to break the cycle of overeating or making unhelpful eating choices. Although individual results vary, it can result in:
-
Feeling satisfied: Hypnosis may help you practise feeling comfortable with appropriate portions and recognising when you have had enough to eat
-
Managing cravings: Hypnosis may help you notice your responses to tempting foods and practise making choices that feel more balanced and intentional
-
Recognising hunger: Hypnosis can help you pay closer attention to your hunger, fullness and eating cues, including situations where stress or habit influences your choices
-
Emotional wellbeing: Hypnosis may also help you explore emotional triggers and develop a more considered and healthier relationship with food, eating and your body
-
The impact: The overall aim is to help you build greater awareness, autonomy and control around your eating habits.
Hypnosis as a natural alternative to the jab
Hypnosis is a non-medical approach that may complement your wider weight-management efforts. Using attention, imagery and suggestion, this programme is designed to support changes in habits and your relationship with food. Whilst it is not a medical treatment, does not reproduce the physical effects of weight-loss medication and of course individual experiences and results may vary, it does aim to mimic those effects and may sit alongside other steps you are taking towards your longer-term health and weight loss goals.
-
No physical jab: The programme uses guided imagery to create a virtual jab experience that mimics the experience of receiving a real weight loss jab. If imagining a needle is uncomfortable, an alternative image can be used
-
Skills you can practise: In addition to the many suggestions given, the programme gives you recordings to use between sessions and beyond, giving you hypnotic support to continue your weight loss journey and for ongoing maintenance
-
Exploring emotional eating: Sessions may help you explore eating patterns linked to stress, boredom or other emotional triggers
-
A more holistic and supportive mindset: The programme focuses on building awareness, confidence and more supportive habits around food and eating, thus creating a more holistic and gentler approach to weight loss.
What to expect from hypnosis
During a session, you’ll be guided into a state of calm relaxation and focused attention, where your mind is more open to positive suggestions. You will always reamain in full control, although you may find yourself drifting off into a pleasant space between being awake and asleep. Sessions include:
-
Relaxation and focus: Time to settle, focus your attention and consider the changes you would like to make
-
Visualisation: Imagining situations such as feeling comfortable after a meal or responding differently to a craving, in addition to visiting a clinic for your virtual jab
-
Working with habits: Suggestions and reflection to help you practise new ways of responding to food-related situations
-
Building confidence: Each session builds on your goals and gives you space to reflect on what is helpful for you
What to expect from the hypno weight loss jab programme
The basic Reset programme includes three 90-min hypnosis sessions:
-
Session 1: We’ll discuss your goals, introduce the process, administer your first virtual jab in a relaxing 45-60 min hypnosis session and establish a starting point for the programme
-
Session 2 (around one week later): We’ll build on the first session by discussing habits, cravings and emotional responses to eating, before relaxing into another blissful hypnosis session where you'll receive your 2nd virtual jab
-
Session 3 (around one month later): We’ll review your progress and reinforce the strategies you want to continue using, before dropping into another deeply relaxing hypnosis session, where you'll revisit your virtual jab clinic once more
Between sessions you'll receive recordings to support your practice at home, including an audio recording to listen to on a weekly basis so that you can administer your own virtual hypno jab. You can continue using this recording after the programme if you find it helpful.
To ensure the programme is safe and appropriate for you, potential new clients are asked to book a 45-min coffee chat first. Although this is simply a chemistry or coffee chat, many clients do find this to be a beneficial conversation in it's own right. If the prgramme is right for you, you'll be asked to complete a form detailing your eating and weight loss goals before we begin.
Resource Therapy: additional support for emotional eating
Weight management is not usually simply a matter of willpower. Patterns around food can be connected to emotions, stress or experiences that have developed over time. Whilst the 3 hypno weight loss jab sessions may help you explore some of these patterns, if you would like to look more closely at persistent responses or emotional triggers, Resource Therapy may be a useful additional option.
Resource Therapy is a quick and easy parts-based therapy that focuses on emotional states and patterns that may once have served a protective purpose but are no longer helpful or healthy. Packages that include Resource Therapy provide more time to explore these issues alongside the hypno weight loss jab sessions. We focus on one issue that you are ready to change in each session. Whilst experiences vary, and results or timing cannot be guaranteed, many clients find Resource Therapy to be a useful therapy to release old patterns that no longer serve them, replacing them with more helpful and beneficial habits.
Hypno weight loss jab packages
There are 3 levels of package available to you, according to your needs
-
RESET - Hypno Weight Loss Jab (3 sessions) A focused hypnosis programme, with an introductory exploration of your habits, mindset and weight-management goals
-
REBALANCE - Hypno Weight Loss Jab (3 sessions) + Resource Therapy (3 sessions) The Reset package, plus 3 additional Resource Therapy sessions designed specifically to explore and release old emotional patterns around food (or any other issues you wish to work on)

The remaining Resource Therapy sessions can then take place afterwards at intervals of two weeks or more, depending on your needs and availability.
A considered approach to weight management
The hypno weight loss jab programme uses hypnosis to help you work on eating habits, cravings and your relationship with food. Although it is different from weight-loss injections and does not reproduce their medical effects, the sessions do however, offer space to explore emotional eating and practise habits that support your goals. The programme is intended as a holistic supportive and of course results may vary from person to person.
If you’d like to explore whether this programme feels right for you, book a coffee chat. The cost of the coffee chat is redeemable against a package purchase.
