Medicine can operate on the brain, giving you some relief from emotional problems. They are not a cure, and can make you suicidal, cause sexual problems, and dizziness, among other things. Psychotherapy helps you by giving you someone to listen, and understand, and offer professional insights which help.
We all experience conflict at some time in our lives, and when it's within the family it can make life very difficult for everyone. If conflict has been escalating, people stop "hearing" each other, which leads to frustration, and blocked communications. Counselling does not judge, take sides or tell you what to do, but helps you talk about the difficult things and focus on what needs to change for things to get better.
Sandra, 37, 3-5 stone overweight - 5 months counselling
"I had a problem eating food since a child. I found it impossible to stay on a healthy diet. I had IBS diagnosed when I was 22 and then I put on weight and was about 15 stone. I was lathargic and not feeling very good about myself. Carolyn helped me go on a detox programme which helped me change my eating habits, and I now chose to eat a raw food diet two days a week and have lost the weight. But best of all, I feel so much better about myself, and have cut out wheat and sugar which caused so much of my IBS. I have so much energy now and really enjoy life".

Sudies of obsese people enrolled in a weight-reduction programme found that their rates for mood disorders and current or past psychiatric illnesses- mostly depression and dysthymia were at least five times greater than those found in the general population, (Goldsmith, S.J. 1992). Women who experience early (before 14) sexual intercourse against their wishes, were significantly more likely to have eating disorders than women who had first sexual experiences later in life, in accordance with their wishes. Compulsive overeaters report experiencing significantly more life stress than "normal eaters". Ten times as many women as men are victims of sexual abuse, and the same female-dominated ratio reported in eathing disorders, (Devine, 1980). One study concluded that adolescent overeaters experience 250 times the amout of life stress experienced by adolescents who don't compulsively overeat.
Once you have found out your inner processes, in a safe counselling experience, you can use rTMShypnotherapy to change the brain patterns, delete old memories and create healthy eating habits. This improves your self esteem and makes you feel more successful in many areas of your life, and the one of the many life changes will be the loss of weight.
