You can be HEALthy: The Mind Body Weight Revolution a Complete Healing Journey (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789189423305)

You have tried the diets. You have counted the calories, followed the plans, exercised the willpower. And perhaps it has worked - for a while. But here you are again. Not because you are weak. Because you have been working at the wrong level.

This is not a diet book. You Can Be Healthy: The Mind Body Weight Revolution is a complete healing journey that goes directly to the source of difficult eating behaviour - the subconscious mind, where your habits, cravings, emotional patterns and beliefs about food and your body actually live.

Drawing on over twenty years of clinical experience as a hypnotherapist and CBT practitioner, Grace Wells reveals exactly why willpower-based approaches fail - and what genuinely works instead. Combining the latest neuroscience with the proven power of clinical hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy, she offers a step-by-step programme for healing your relationship with food, your body and yourself at the deepest level.

The HEAL method at the heart of this book turns the logic of dieting completely upside down. Where dieting focuses on restriction, struggle and a finishing line, healing focuses on daily choices, lasting change and a lifelong journey. Where dieting treats food as the enemy, healing treats it as fuel. Where dieting asks you to fight yourself, healing asks you to understand and transform the patterns driving your behaviour - gently, permanently, from the inside out.

Inside you will find:

The neuroscience of habit and subconscious programming - why your eating behaviour is not your fault, and how to actually change it. The pain-pleasure associations behind cravings and emotional eating - and how to dissolve them. The wound of not-enoughness that drives so much difficult eating behaviour, and the profound healing available through the I Am Enough practice. A complete self-hypnosis programme to use alongside the book. Access to six guided hypnosis audio sessions including a free introductory session and a 21-day healing program. Practical exercises, language work and visualisation practices grounded in clinical research.

This book is for anyone who has tried every diet and found that nothing has lasted. Anyone who eats in response to stress, loneliness, boredom or the need for comfort. Anyone who suspects that the problem is not really about food at all - and is ready to address what it is actually about.

The healing is available to you. It has, in a very real sense, already begun.
