Here are a series of questions Dr. Disenhof is often asked by those considering weight-loss therapy.
Q: Who makes a good candidate for emotional eating therapy?
A:
Any person who wants to lose weight and is willing to look at himself or herself.
Q: What is the usual procedure for initiating therapy?
A:
Just call Dr. Disenhof and she will offer you a free consultation and answer all your questions.
Q: Which is more beneficial - individual, couple or group therapy?
A: They are all beneficial. Which mode of therapy you choose depends on many factors such as your personal psychological make-up, your main problem, your defenses, which mode you want and which mode Dr. Disenhof will suggest for optimum results.
Q: How can Talk The Weight Off! lead to weight loss?
A: When you talk about yourself, Dr. Disenhof listens with a third ear and hears what you may not be aware you are saying. This information is filled with clues as to why you overeat. When you become aware of what is causing you to keep the weight and what it does for you, you are then able to start to resolve the pain and start to heal. When you take that step toward emotional health, you are beginning the journey to weight loss.
Q: How long does it take to lose the weight?
A: This is a question Dr. Disenhof hears everyday. The answer is it depends on you. The more roadblocks you put up in your therapy, the longer it takes. Roadblocks are your defenses (conscious or unconscious). An example of a defense is quitting therapy or missing sessions before your goals are reached because you are about to or have recently uncovered something about yourself that makes you feel uncomfortable.
