What to Expect in Your First Session
After reviewing your health history, and discussing your concerns, we will focus on your most troubling food issue with self-applied Acupressure. If you have any cravings, it's wise to focus on them first as this will bring you the best results, and you will require fewer sessions.
In your follow up session(s) we will focus on any remaining cravings or other food related issues. My goal is to help you cover as much territory as possible in each session, without covering too much. How many sessions you will require depends on you and how you respond to treatment.
Response to Treatment Varies
We are unique individuals, with unique experiences and physiology and we all respond differently to treatment. Some patients respond very quickly, and clear multiple cravings in one session. Others require two sessions for one cravings. While the former is more common, the latter does happen, and yet, results are still achieved. We won't know how you respond until after your first session.
Food Cravings can be likened to the Iceberg above. You know you experience a Food Craving (which is the ice above the surface), but what causes the craving is not completely in your awareness, it's below the surface of the water. The ice below the water is driving your Food Craving(s), but the depth and breadth of it cannot be seen before your session.
During your session, you may have insights into the 'deeper' cause of your cravings, and in that moment your cravings can start to fade. We don't know how far reaching or deep the 'ice' is that's creating your Food Cravings, until after your session. This is the most gentle, powerful and simple way to target and unwind your pattern of craving, overeating or obsessions related to food that I've found after decades of explorapersonal and professional exploration.
What to Expect After Your Sesssion
After a session, some patients notice the change immediately, feel totally different and know they've made a major change. Others must return to their lives before they notice the change in their thoughts and behaviors, it's more subtle for them. Still others are reminded by spouses or friends that their behavior has changed, they don't notice it until they are reminded of how things used to be. This is because the new behavior feels natural and they've forgotten their old ways of being and this is positive.
Patients have reported other benefits after treatment that are specific to each individual. The benefits are different because we all have a different story with food, and how it has affected us is unique. The sessions are more than just letting go of old habits and resolving Food Cravings, they can help you in many other ways. Patients state they feel more focused, less distracted, better able to deal with stress, and feel more at peace with food and themselves. Others report that their relationships improve, they feel less creatively blocked, and can move forward into new territory in their lives
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
After your first session, we can roughy estimate how many sessions you will need to reach your goals. It's best to assume that you will need one session per category of food you crave, knowing that multiple cravings may clear together (categories of food are: sweets and chocolate, non-sweet carbohydrates, caffeine, dairy products, etc.).
Please know that the more sessions you require to resolve your cravings usually translates into more overall benefit in your life. This is because there ars more areas of your life that have been affected by your cravings or other habits, so when they are resolved, you experience greater relief.
Follow Up Sessions
In follow up sessions, we focus on your next pressing concern and make sure that you are complete with your previous session. Sometimes, you need to return to your life and make sure the triggers for overeating or food cravings have been fully addressed.
If you overeat, it is important to focus on resolving your food cravings first, as you will have more immediate results and will require fewer sessions overall. In general, overcoming habits of overeating will require more than one session, and a minimum of three sessions is suggested. Once your food cravings or habits of overeating have been resolved, you may decide to work on related issues.
What is the Acupressure Session Like?
I will show you where to hold your own Acupressure points. I will then guide you through a simple process (in person or over the Phone/skype/IChat) while you hold the points. This will allow you to let go of your unwanted habits and behaviors. Patients state that Phone/skype/iChat sessions are no different than in person sessions.
