Food aversion.
Food nourishes the body and to eat is the most natural thing in the world. In fact, if we don’t eat, we can’t survive. The best part is that there are a multitude of wonderful foods out there to be enjoyed. And food is most enjoyable when eaten in the company of friends and family.
If you are one of the many people who suffer from food aversion, you may find that certain foods, in some cases most foods, actually make you feel nauseous or gag. You may even experience anxiety at the thought of trying something new or eating around others, creating a very different relationship to food than most people have. You may even feel like you are missing out on so many wonderful flavors.
Hypnotherapy can help you to move past Food aversion to enjoy a full and fulfilling diet of wonderfully nutritious and tasty foods.

Take the Fear Out of Food
Most ideas and beliefs we have around food develop when we are little including both the good and the bad.
Most of the serious food aversion I have seen working with clients in clinic is actually unresolved, beginning in early childhood.
When we are young, we take our cues from the world around us, including what type of food we may or may not like and take on the tastes of the people we are closest too.
Trauma can also affect our experience of food as we get older.
Oftentimes, however, the source of the fear to trying new foods is unknown. This may be because the pattern begun when we were too young to remember it.
Regardless of whether or not you know the cause, hypnotherapy can help you to overcome the fear of trying new foods so that you can treat your tastebuds to wonderful new experiences.
Find Your Adventurous Side
As you overcome the fear of trying new foods, it can be exciting to discover your adventurous side and explore a whole new world of flavors and textures.
The world is getting smaller and our immersion into foods from all over the globe is amazing. There are literally tens of thousands of types of foods to try and hypnotherapy can help you to enjoy trying as many of them as you might actually want to (let’s face it, no one thinks you should be eating snails…unless you want to).
Hypnotherapy can help you to reduce the symptoms on a deeper inner level, by treating the cause, not just the symptoms, helping you to move forward with the creation that is your life.
Calm the Gag Reflex
When we are worried that we won’t like a food, our body prepares to not like the food.
As that food then touches the back of the throat, the body wants to reject it, so the gag reflex is initiated.
The gag reflex can be embarrassing and people who experience this often worry about offending people in their company, leading more anxiety and even more gagging in a terrible stressful cycle.
Hypnotherapy can help you to break that cycle, calm the gag reflex and enjoy trying new foods, even if you end up not liking it.
Make Food a Normal Part of Your Day
Food really is the most normal part of any day.
We need food to grow, to function and to be healthy.
It is actually completely normal to not like certain foods or to think that a certain food is actually disgusting.
At the same time, it is completely normal to avoid foods that look unappetizing to us.
Food aversion can make us so sensitive to trying new foods that we lose sight of, or may never have known to begin with, what is actually normal when it comes to food.
Hypnotherapy can help you to relax into a more normal and easier relationship with food.
Eat the Rainbow
When food is no longer a concern, you can step into the adventurous world of eating the rainbow.
Reds, purples, yellows and greens.
No food will be off limits to you and your food world will be, well…your oyster.

Relaxation
Hypnotherapy creates a trance state, a condition of intense physical and mental relaxation. While this relaxation alone may offer some relief from trauma symptoms, it also facilitates and enhances relevant additional therapies.
