Have you ever wondered the difference between the two? If you are looking to lose weight or shed those extra pounds then this will be helpful. if you have constant cravings then this is a must read.
According to US research, there are five main differences between emotional and physical hunger:
1). Emotional hunger is a sudden feeling whereas physical hunger comes on gradually.
2). Physical hunger is felt in the stomach – emotional hunger is felt in the head e.g. a sudden craving for a particular type of food like chocolate or something sweet or sugar dense etc.
3). When you feel desperate to eat a particular type of food, it is an emotional need. If you are really hungry, then you are open to a wider choice of food options.
4). Emotional hunger wants to be satisfied immediately whereas physical hunger can wait.
5). Emotional hunger leaves you feeling guilty – physical hunger leaves you pleasantly full
Does this ring any bells for you?
Let me know if you would like more information about tacking this issue or something else on your mind.

Hi Howard,
Thanks for sharing this research. It is important to understand the difference between emotional and physical. Sure, as a hypnotherapist we are mainly interested in emotional things, because hypnosis helps to make emotional changes in a person to improve the life for better.
Knowing the border between emotional and physical helps the clients to understand what they should expect from the hypnosis sessions (some clients expect fantastic physical results from hypnosis which is the result of wrong knowlege about hypnosis)

Hi Orik
Thanks for your comments and it great to hear from you.
Of course hypnotherapy and hypnosis is a fantastic tool and Ii really think that the issue is that clients should always expect more.
You will of couse be aware of the term “you get what you expect” and the real challenge is to get clients to expect much much more than they think they are capable of.
In my experience without this expectation both the hypnotherapist and the client will face an uphill battle.
I hope this makes sense
Keep well
Howard the Hypnotherapist
