I tried hypnosis just before last Christmas. I researched it very thoroughly & went to a leading person in that field but it didn't work. But your experience may be different.

There is a list of evidence based trials at the website www.rebhp.org/researchdatabase.htm .
It does mention the fact that CBT and hypnotherapy seem to work well together.
I dont think hypnosis just in itself is the answer. A motivated client and an inspiring therapist is probably the best combo...with or without hypnosis.
Hope this helps.
Interested to see what feedback this thread gets.

There is some evidence for a "virtual gastric band" using hypnotherapy, though I understand that it's still being trialled.

Virtual Gastric Band has been around for while now and is quite popular. It involves the imaginary use of a gastric band...a bit safer and less messy than a real one!
Trialling the imagination is always going to be a long job as it depends on the how compelling the suggestion has been made plus the way it was received by the client.
Think small stomach stuffed and aching not to be fed and you are half way there.
