Change your relationship with food at Hypnotherapy Norwich
Our relationship with food begins before birth. As infants, our bodies instinctively recognise what we need, and we ensure our caregivers know it too. Food quickly becomes more than nourishment—it represents comfort and care. As we grow, it connects us to family, culture, and identity.
Because food is always available, we often turn to it for more than sustenance—seeking comfort, distraction, or emotional fulfilment. Unlike love, which can be uncertain, food offers a fleeting sense of fullness and contentment. Over time, this can lead to disordered eating as we unconsciously attempt to meet emotional needs through food.
Therapy addresses these underlying issues driving the eating behaviour, restoring a healthier relationship with food—unlike conventional dieting, which focuses on restriction rather than root causes.
Diets rely on willpower, but emotional needs eventually override control, leading to cycles of guilt and shame. True change comes not from loss or deprivation but from gaining choice, self-awareness, and freedom from restrictive dieting.
Therapy can support individuals on their weight loss journey by addressing underlying issues such as eating disorders, comfort eating, binge eating, emotional eating, and overeating, fostering a healthier relationship with food and with yourself.
