Stuffing your face, as well as the turkey, at Christmas

So far, in the run up to Christmas, there's someone I know who's bought a tube of pink Smarties three times now for the same person. Each time she bought a tube they went into the present bag as a little extra gift. And each time this person heard them calling to her "eat me!". So she did.

She also bought a pack of four mini Toblerones and they too went the same way. Into the present bag and then into her tummy. To ditch her addiction to chocolate what she needs is the Compulsion Buster!

The what?? The Compulsion Buster! It's a brilliant technique that I use with clients at my Beautiful Spaces clinics in Witney and Bampton in Oxfordshire, for people who feel they've got addicted to something and don't want to want it anymore.
I've used it for people who wanted to stop drinking alcohol and for people who eat a lot of chocolate, cakes, crisps.... anything that's got out of hand.

Say, for our lady who keeps raiding the present bag for the chocolate, at the moment she's associating the thought of chocolate with a wonderful taste and something she really wants to eat. But we can use her imagination in a different way to help her.
I'd ask her to tell me all the things that no way would she ever put into her mouth, like vomit or dog poo. We'd imagine mixing them in with the chocolate and suddenly it loses it's appeal. So much so that a client recently actually said "yeuch" out loud when she saw a stranger pick up a chocolate bar to buy in the petrol station.

So, if this Christmas you find yourself stuffing your face with things you'd rather not then perhaps it's time for you to come and see me here in Oxfordshire and we'll do the Compulsion Buster.

And I will be doing the Compulsion Buster on myself shortly and promise not to raid the present bag for chocolate again.
Happy Christmas!
