This was a question from a person on Quora and how I answered it:
I do not know what therapists do because I am not one. I could tell you two things:
First, from the perspective of being a hypnotist, I would never tell a client of mine to deal with weight loss. My clients employ me to help them with their objectives for healing, not my ideas of what they need to be healed. For example: Many years ago I had a very overweight client ask me to help her to figure out a better way to market her small company since she hated making cold calls. So happened she found that she loved making presentations so that was the direction that she went in and did well with it. Did we ever deal with her weight? Hell no – because that was not why she employed me.
Second, I have a client now who tried Ozempic and I can tell you from the folks who understand how this stuff works it is a terrible idea. The reason is that it actually increases the number of fat cells a person has with its use so one will gain more weight back than one loses once it is stopped. I had a wonderful day yesterday because she told me that she is not going to continue to use this crap any longer and instead chooses to love her body the way it is at its natural weight. This is a person who has always had a higher set point weight for her height than the BMIs would put her at. From my perspective, this is a much healthier way to deal with a person’s weight than to put them on terrible drugs or forcing diets that will not work most people yo-yo dieting putting on weight each time they go off their diets.
Here is a video by Dr. Ken Berry that explains what this shit does to a person’s body:
