Words spoken at birth causes weight trouble
When Jenny first contacted me she asked if I knew of anyone who did hypnotherapy, as she had a weight problem that she couldn’t seem to get on top of even with diet and exercise. She recognized that her problem stemmed from a psychological one of sabotaging any plan she undertook. This is very common and why so many diet and exercise programs fail.
It’s not that the programs don’t work, as they usually do for the time that the person sticks to the program, but usually sabotage comes up along the way and old habits kick in (the old neural program). I informed Jenny that I utilize a technique called EFT (emotional freedom technique), and as a trained hypnotherapist I have found to be more effective at addressing these types of problems.
After spending some time explaining the process of EFT to Jenny we started to investigate the case behind her sabotage programming. Explaining to Jenny that many of our issues start very early in life but we often don’t see the connection between this and what is happening for us now, Jenny recounted the fact that at the moment of birth after 25hrs of labor, her mother said to her “you don’t know what pain you have caused your mother” (apparently she was told this many times during her childhood).
So I asked Jenny what sort of feeling or emotion she had attached to this statement. She said she felt “Guilt”, guilty that her mother suffered pain as a result of her birth. As a baby she was breast fed and this was the only time she felt her mothers love, so she automatically associated feeding with love, so as she grew, love came only from eating (or so her subconscious felt).
She was of course loved, but never felt this love. She was a very emotional child, using her emotions to reach out for love. By “tapping and clearing” this issue with EFT, Jenny was able to release this old “stuck” emotion and for the first time able to feel the love that was always around her.
The following week when we worked on further “issues”, Jenny told me that as a result of clearing the “birth issue”, she had not only started to loose weight but had lots more energy (emotional stuff drains a lot of energy), and her depression had lifted, she was sleeping better, and had a better relationship with her family. The best thing about clearing with EFT is that once it is cleared (the issue), it never comes back again.
