Understanding Diabetes
Simply stated, to successfully manage diabetes you must help your body process glucose. Your body will change automatically to reflect new information processed during hypnotherapy.
Hypnotherapy helps you address:
The Mental Aspects
The better you understand your feelings, the better able you will be to take control.
Shock: “Why is this happening to me?”
Fear: “What does having diabetes mean? What’s going to happen next?”
Anger: “This isn’t fair. Why should I have start doing things I don’t like, and stop doing the things I like? Forget that!”
Anxiety: “Great! Just what I needed! One more thing to worry about, stress out about, and lose sleep over.”
Grief: “This is awful. My life will never be the same again.”
Guilt: “It’s all my own fault. I made bad choices. Now I just have to pay the price. I’m just getting what I deserve.”
Denial: “Tests results can be wrong, and diabetes isn’t a big deal anyway. I have more important things to think about.”
Depression: “There’s nothing I can do. It doesn’t make any difference whether I eat or not. I’m always tired. Sleep lets me get away from it all. I don’t know what to do.”
Practical Steps
In addition to medical attention, an important aspect of managing diabetes is a change in lifestyle. Hypnotherapy makes it easier to feel so comfortable with healthier changes, that they seem natural and normal to you.
Another factor is maintaining a safe weight. Losing weight not only helps control diabetes but also lowers the risk of other health problems. Hypnotherapy helps you feel enthused about eating better and exercising regularly.
