Motivational support for people with diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic condition that impedes the production and/or proper use of insulin, a hormone vital to normal metabolism. Diabetes can result in severe complications, including limb amputation, blindness, kidney failure, heart disease, stroke and premature death.

Imagine a Story...

"I am sorry to inform you that you have diabetes. There is a list of what you need to do...”

The once-healthy patient walks away sullen and out of words, flushed by several emotions that she cannot understand. These feelings include anguish, confusion, anger, denial and in many case a deep, sometimes hidden sense of despair and hopelessness.

Diabetes, even at its critical stage should be dealt positively. We may have the best medical practitioners that are trained to do everything to make you physically better yet it is not enough. The biggest obstacle is facing a new lifestyle, and finding ways to act through it. I understand that in highly stressful situations, people's perspectives, values, and behaviours change to adapt to these tragedies. I also know that even the best doctors will be too busy to attend to your emotional wounds.

If you need someone to help you understand your plight, then I am ready to help you. I can help you deal with your overwhelming feelings and emotions that accompany diabetes. Together, we can act on it positively and make the most out of your situation.

How can psychotherapy and hypnosis help to people with diabetes?

There are areas of concern for diabetic client which can be greatly helped by these effective methods:

Stress Reduction – a stressed out diabetic patient will find himself in a worse state than before. Some people resort to comfort foods when they are upset. These foods sometimes do nothing in the long run except to get the patient in bigger trouble for not following prescribed diet. I will help you manage your stress to defeat diabetes.

Change Eating Habits – For a person with diabetes, sticking to the correct diet is very crucial. Ignorance can bring horrible complications. But to change your eating habits is something that can't be done easily. With the help of hypnosis and EFT, it can become much easier to make healthy food choices, get rid of cravings and stop overeating.

Permanent Weight Loss – always remember that diabetes can be prevented. The biggest risk factor for would-be diabetics is obesity. It is a clinically proven fact that if we can defeat obesity or excess weight, then we will have an easier time to cope with diabetic symptoms.

Improve Memory – memory enhancement through psychotherapy and hypnosis helps diabetes patients adjust to a new lifestyle. Having diabetes is the time to remember critical things such as testing, time of last meal, diet, medications, and other vital issues.

Motivation and Ego Enhancement – living through diabetes should start with having the desire to live. I can help you adjust with your new life-style and adapt practical habits such as choosing the right food, maintaining a healthy weight, getting regular exercise, and avoiding smoking and other health pitfalls. You will learn to see your condition as a healthy challenge, not a curse. We can focus our energies to be more productive and not let diabetes hinder your life.

Compliance with Doctors Orders – I can be your life coach to help you walk through the treatment process just as the doctor ordered. With my help, you can fully understand the weight of your condition, as well as your accountability in these situations and how you can cope with it.

Changing attitudes, calming emotions, and an adopting healthy lifestyle will give the person with diabetes a chance to take control over his condition and continue enjoying life.
