Virtual Gastric Band Hypnotherapy – 5 Things You Need to Know

Hypnosis Leeds, Hypnotherapy Leeds, Weight Loss Hypnotherapy Leeds / By Leeds Hypnotherapist Paul Ramsden

If you are looking to lose weight, gastric band hypnotherapy can be a helpful tool. Also known as the virtual gastric band, this technique uses hypnosis to create the illusion of having had a real gastric band placed around the stomach. This virtual band then restricts the amount of food that can be consumed, leading to weight loss. While the virtual gastric band is not a magic bullet for weight loss, it can help to change eating habits and make it easier to stick to a healthy diet. If you are serious about losing weight, the hypnotic gastric band could be worth considering.

I contacted Paul for hypnotherapy based on my friend's recommendation.I have been struggling with self-sabotage for... years and a lack of self-confidence, and I decided to seek help from a professional. I reached out to Paul, and I am incredibly grateful for his guidance and support. Since working with him, I have significantly improved my attitude and behaviour. Not only has my boyfriend mentioned it, but my friends have also commented on how much more proactive and assertive I have become. I am no longer putting off things that matter to me, and I feel more confident. Paul's expertise and encouragement have been invaluable to me, and I would highly recommend him to anyone facing similar challenges.read more

I contacted Paul based on the glowing recommendation of a friend who had experienced significant improvements with him... as a hypnotherapist. Struggling with confidence issues, fear of driving, and overall anxiety, I felt stuck in life. Every day seemed like a battle with my own mind, leaving me exhausted and demotivated.The 4 sessions I've booked with Paul turned out to be a game-changer. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Through his guidance and expertise, I experienced a remarkable transformation in my outlook on life. I now approach each day with newfound confidence, whether I'm driving or at work.While I still have moments of anxiety, they no longer dictate my life. I've learned to manage them effectively, allowing me to pursue my goals without hesitation. Not only have I noticed these positive changes, but so have my friends and family. My relationships have strengthened, and I feel more connected and present in my interactions.In short, hypnotherapy with Paul has been nothing short of life-changing for me. I've already recommended him to several people, and I'll continue to do so with genuine enthusiasm. I'm incredibly grateful to Paul for giving me back control over my life.Warm regards, Berniread more

I went to see Paul as I had issues with driving and hoped hypnosis could help me conquer my fear. Before the session I... was very nervous but excited as I was very interested how/if hypnotherapy can help me. Paul made me feel calm and relaxed and explained how hypnotherapy works and what's going to happen during hypnosis.He guided me through to a "light" hypnosis and my subconscious identified the root problem of my fear. Replaced the negative thoughts and bad feelings connected to driving with new positive thoughts and feelings. Since then I drove a few times and my confidence grows every time I'm in the driving seat. I feel confident and relaxed when driving.Would definitely recommend Paul and hypnotherapy!read more

Booked a 3 session package with Paul to focus on my stress and anxiety which was becoming unmanageable.

The 3 sessions were different to each other, focusing on independent issues and overall have made a massive difference in relieving my stress and anxiety! Paul has also given me different ways / techniques to be able to manage my stress and anxiety in the future. I would definitely recommend Paul.read more

I have never felt better since talking with Paul, he was so friendly and so calming I felt completely comfortable... opening up.

I saw Paul, nice personable guy, none judgemental. I had put a post out on a website for help finding a therapist and... Paul called me to ask about my situation. I went in because of panic attacks etc. Which were because of some ptsd I had acquired recently in my life. His hypnotherapy skills helped to work out these issues within my subconscious and I havent had one since. I would definitely recommend his skills as you don't know what is going on inside your sub consciousness if you don't really know how to navigate within your hypnotic state. I took 6 sessions and worth every penny.read more

I contacted Paul with little hope of any recovery as I have already tried many many techniques to treat my anxiety over... the last 5 years. I had zero motivation to get up and go to my first appointment as I had already given up in my own head. However, after the first session, I was already looking forward to the next due to the noticeable differences I felt after only 1 hour. Going and seeing Paul was definitely the best decision I have made to treat my anxiety and most certainly the most effective. I couldn’t recommend Paul enough to anyone who is suffering with not only anxiety, but also any other issues you may dealing with personally, I would just like to thank Paul for the time and effort he put into me. I can happily say I’m in the best frame of mind I have been in since my anxiety issues began many years ago.read more
