Synopsis

The Weight, Hypnotherapy and YOU Weight Reduction Program: An NLP and Hypnotherapy Practitioner s Manual, gives practitioners a complete, fully-scripted, ready-to-use weight reduction program that addresses the epidemic problem of obesity in adults. This book gives step-by-step, easy-to-follow instructions for managing, conducting and marketing a unique program that can expand a practice, constitute a niche offering, or add a new, valuable and profitable service to an existing practice. This unique program is based on actual clinical experience and published research on the efficacy of hypnotherapy as a viable tool in weight management. The book includes examples of office forms and marketing materials, as well as a CD-ROM containing a Client Workbook with take-home readings and assignments. This program will help your clients stay motivated and on-track with their nutrition and exercise plans, while working at an individual pace. The book covers the practitioner s preparation: the program background, relevant research, prerequisite skills, training and knowledge, how to screen clients, office forms, as well as ethical, safety, and marketing considerations. The eight scripted sessions cover the clinical interview and outcomes, reframing overeating, self-hypnosis, stress management, sensible food choices, the relationship with food, exercise, and lasting results. The book tells readers how to motivate recalcitrant clients and how to market the program in one s own community to build a referral network.

About this title

Review:

Sometimes a publisher s blurb can stretch the facts when describing an author s work not in this case. Crown House say this manual tells you everything you need to know to help clients reduce their weight. and it does exactly what it says on the tin. A great book and in a format that we will no doubt see additions to this new Practitioner s Manual series. The WHY book is an effective, well researched, easy-to-follow, weight loss programme that could form the basis of a whole range of multi-session formats. Similar licensed programmes are sold for ten times the price, and offer little, if any, more information. --Paul Fowler, APHP Magazine

The WHY program that Judith Pearson, Ph.D. has created offers a comprehensive approach in using NLP, Neuro-Semantics (Meta-States), and Hypnotherapy to coach a client to succeed in losing weight and gaining fitness and health. Yet she offers more, far more. In her book, Dr. Pearson has created an exceptionally well-designed program for a coach, therapist, or practitioner to run a commercially viable business in weight reduction with these tools and models. I highly recommend this book and this program. There s nothing like it on the market that has the critical success factors embedded in a frame of high integrity. --L. Michael Hall, Ph.D., author of Games Fit and Slim People Play and Developer of Neuro-Semantics

Anyone who has worked with clients that want to lost weight knows how difficult and frustrating it can be. Many of these clients are looking for the miracle cure or magic wand and can easily lose motivation, self sabotage or just give up when the going gets tough. But Judith Pearson s book changes all that. This is way more than just a run-of-the-mill how to book to help the client lose weight. Sure, it contains materials, resources and practical tips and techniques for helping clients to success. But it also includes a CD-ROM which has on it a Client Workbook, homework assignments and readings for the client in fact all the handouts that you need for your clients. And if that wasn t enough, Judith also gives you tips and ways to market the program to enhance and expand your client base. It s called the WHY program, but definitely has the WOW factor for me! --Terri Bodell NACHP
