Diabetes Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy can be a very useful part of your type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes treatment: through a mixture of talking therapy, which focuses on building a positive future, and hypnosis, which focuses on helping you make changes to improve your health in a gentle and positive way.
What is hypnotherapy for diabetes?
It is estimated that that one in 10 people in the UK are living with diabetes. Getting a Type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes diagnosis is an unwelcome surprise. I know, as it happened to me! I am sympathetic and non-judgemental but more importantly through solution focused hypnotherapy; I have tools to help you. A few years ago, I was unexpectedly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and had an Hba1C reading of 112. However, using the tools that I have with hypnotherapy and my knowledge of how to change habits effectively, I was able to make changes easily and quickly. My test results got back to normal within a few months and have stayed that way..
How does hypnotherapy for diabetes work?
There are many changes to make that can help diabetics or those with a pre-diabetes diagnosis that can help to live a healthy life. Studies have shown that hypnotherapy can be very useful in helping behavioural change in diabetes in a positive way:
-
Reducing stress- stress can cause elevated blood sugar levels. Hypnotherapy can help with managing stress and anxiety
-
Behavioural change-diet and exercise can make a major contribution to good health in diabetes but those changes may need assistance.
-
Improving sleep can also be an important factor in type 2 diabetes.

Who is it for?
Diabetes hypnotherapy is for anyone with a Type 2 pre-diabetes or diabetes diagnosis who would like help in making positive changes that will help them. You will already have received advice from your medical team and will be looking for help ease into new habits and routines to help you get your health back on track.
What do you need to do?
Solution focused diabetes hypnotherapy is a very positive process. We look at where you want to be and help you make small steps to get there. You won’t need to discuss any specific symptoms or events that you don’t want to. Sessions concentrate on understanding what is helping you and trance- a state of deep relaxation- where you are lying back and listening. You just need to attend the sessions and do any other small things to help you between sessions that you choose.
