I've been seeing Jessica Boston, a cognitive hypnotherapist, trauma-informed coach and author of Homecoming Meditations. The sessions are a mix of talking through the things that are most plaguing me, followed by a guided hypnosis session that Jessica records for me to listen to throughout the week.

That's when I remind myself that the tiniest action today will always beat the fantasy of perfection tomorrow. All-or-nothing thinking used to be the bane of my existence, but now when I get a flare-up, I use it as a reminder of how far I've come.

Hypnotherapist Jessica Boston says she understands how much the body “holds” and therefore how healing touch can be. “I’m naturally very touchy-feely with the people I love.

“Jessica Boston teaches the super-stressed how to relax, get back in touch with themselves, and step off the mental loop of doom or replaying obsessive thoughts. Her specialisms include anxiety, phobias… or turbo-charging your ability to simply be present – and fully enjoy the moment.”

Jessica Boston was featured in Stylist sharing her insight on why emotional avoidance is a natural human response. She explained that while compartmentalising can sometimes be necessary, lasting growth comes from curiosity, self-observation, and understanding the intention behind our actions.

The customised programmes bring about profound change in all areas of your life, and some of her specialisms include tackling anxiety, heartbreak, phobias or help with turbocharging new career goals. Boston introduces you to an electrifying medley of rituals such as hypnotherapy and meditation as well as plenty of emotional release work to create inner stability and from there comes the fun of being able to redesign your life.

Forget what you've heard about gently swaying beads or sharp clicks, hypnotherapy for weight loss is more mainstream (and less David Blaine) than you may think. A complementary treatment – meaning it works alongside conventional practices – hypnotherapy for weight loss can prove to be the method to help people come unstuck when it comes to their healthy weight loss efforts.
