Treatment at Wallace W Lossing, CO, CHt, MHt

Wallace W Lossing brings a unique approach to weight loss that combines clinical expertise with hypnotherapy and mind-body techniques. With credentials as a Certified Hypnotherapist and Master Hypnotherapist, Wallace understands how our minds influence our eating behaviors and body image. This integrative approach has helped many Annapolis residents achieve lasting weight loss by addressing the psychological roots of overeating.

Wallace's practice focuses on retraining how you think about food, stress, and your body. Rather than fighting willpower battles, this approach uses hypnotherapy to create genuine shifts in your relationship with eating. Many clients are amazed at how much easier weight loss becomes when their subconscious mind is working with them instead of against them.

Services Offered

Wallace offers a comprehensive approach combining clinical consultation, hypnotherapy sessions, and behavioral coaching. Initial sessions include a detailed assessment of your eating patterns, triggers, and goals. Hypnotherapy sessions are customized to address your specific challenges, whether that's emotional eating, nighttime snacking, or cravings for specific foods. Wallace guides you into a relaxed state where your subconscious mind becomes more open to positive suggestions and habit changes. You'll also receive practical strategies for managing stress without turning to food. Follow-up sessions reinforce the work and help you navigate obstacles. Many clients find that combining hypnotherapy with lifestyle coaching produces faster, more sustainable results than traditional approaches alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hypnotherapy safe?

Yes, clinical hypnotherapy is safe. You remain conscious and in control throughout. There are no harmful side effects. Many people use hypnotherapy successfully for various goals including weight loss, stress reduction, and behavior change.

Will I lose consciousness or be out of control?

No. Hypnosis isn't sleep or loss of consciousness. You'll be aware of everything happening and can open your eyes or speak anytime you want. You're always in control.

How quickly will I see results?

Some people notice mental shifts immediately, like reduced cravings after the first session. Behavioral changes typically follow within 2-4 weeks. Most people see significant results within 6-8 sessions.

What if hypnotherapy doesn't work for me?

While most people respond well, hypnotherapy isn't effective for everyone. Wallace will discuss this honestly and can recommend alternative or complementary approaches if needed.

Can I listen to recordings between sessions?

Yes, Wallace can provide recorded sessions customized to your goals. Listening regularly reinforces the work you're doing in sessions and accelerates results.

Will I regain weight after hypnotherapy ends?

The changes made through hypnotherapy tend to stick because they're at the subconscious level. Occasional reinforcement sessions help maintain progress, but many clients maintain their weight loss long-term.

How does hypnotherapy compare to traditional weight loss programs?

Traditional programs focus on willpower and external rules. Hypnotherapy works with your mind to change your automatic responses to food. The result is often easier, more natural-feeling weight loss.

Can I combine hypnotherapy with other weight loss approaches?

Absolutely. Hypnotherapy works well alongside nutrition counseling, exercise programs, or medical weight loss. Many clients find the combination more effective than any single approach.
