Hello. I'm Ben Hass. I'm a certified hypnotherapist, and I'm going to show you tools and techniques to help you unlock your potential.
I'm going to show you how to stop overeating. Often, overeating is linked to an emotion or a feeling. Think of the last time you overate, and get in touch with those feelings.
Where do you feel it, in your body? Maybe it has a shape, maybe it has a color. Maybe it's like something. Now, when you feel this feeling, on a scale of 1 to 10, how strong is it? One being not very strong at all, and 10 being a really intense feeling.
What emotion is that? Where do you feel it in your body? Does it have a color? Maybe it has a shape. What is it like? Good. Now while you feel that, on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being don't feel it at all, 10 being a really intense feeling, give it a number.
Good. In a moment, we're going to begin tapping certain points in the body with our fingers. So, just tap along with me and say what I say.
Ready? Let's begin. So start tapping here, and say 'even though I have this feeling, I totally and completely love and accept myself. Even though I have this feeling, I totally and absolutely love and approve of myself.
Even though I have this feeling, I totally and completely love, accept and forgive myself.' Now, let's tap the top of the head. 'This feeling.
' Focusing on that feeling. 'This feeling.' Side of the eye.
'This feeling.' Underneath the eye. 'This feeling.
' Underneath the nose. 'This feeling.' Underneath the mouth.
'This feeling.' Around by the collarbone. 'This feeling.
' And under the arm. 'This feeling.' Now, we're going to begin tapping again.
'Even though I still have this feeling, I totally and completely love and accept myself. Even though I still have this feeling, I totally and absolutely love and accept myself. Even though I have this feeling, I accept, approve and forgive myself.
' Tap the top of the head. 'This remaining feeling.' Side of the eyebrow.
'This remaining feeling.' Side of the eye. 'I deserve to let this go.
' Underneath the eye. 'I give permission to let this go.' Underneath the nose.
'It is safe to let this go.' Underneath the mouth. 'This remaining feeling.
' Collarbone. 'This remaining feeling.' Underneath the arm.
'This remaining feeling.' Good. Now, take a deep breath in and out.
And again, take another deep breath in, and out. Good. Now, when you think about that feeling, notice what might have changed.
Maybe it's changed shape or changed color. Maybe its intensity has gone down, from a high number to a lower number. Any change is good.
Repeat this step a couple more times, with all the tapping, and let it go all the way down to zero, and you'll release yourself of this problem. And that's how to stop overeating. .
