Hypnosis to Stop Sugar Cravings and Emotional Snacking

Sugar cravings and emotional snacking are not simple habits. They are often unconscious strategies
your body and mind use to calm stress, fill an emotional void, soothe tension or bring comfort during
difficult moments. When you reach for food without real hunger, it is not a lack of discipline—it is a
sign that something deeper is asking for relief.

I am Maude Favre, a therapist with more than 19 years of experience and holder of a
Swiss Federal Diploma in Complementary Therapy – Hypnosis. I help individuals free
themselves from automatic behaviours and restore a balanced, calm and healthy relationship with food
and emotions. Hypnosis works directly on the unconscious mechanisms that trigger cravings.

Why Sugar Cravings Appear

Sugar provides quick relief because it activates parts of the brain connected to comfort, reward and
soothing. When the nervous system feels overwhelmed, tired or emotionally activated, the desire for
sugar naturally increases.

The most common triggers include:

  • stress or emotional pressure,
  • fatigue or low energy,
  • a need for comfort or reassurance,
  • longstanding habits formed early in life,
  • a desire to compensate frustration or emptiness,
  • automatic emotional responses,
  • difficulty managing tension internally.

Hypnosis helps reprogram these responses at their source, where your impulses are created and stored.

Emotional Snacking: When Food Responds to Emotions

Emotional snacking is not driven by physical hunger, but by an emotion seeking release—stress, sadness,
boredom, overwhelm or even loneliness. Eating becomes a way to regulate what feels too intense inside.

Emotional snacking often appears when:

  • emotions feel heavy or difficult to manage,
  • your mind is overloaded and you need relief,
  • you feel empty, tired or disconnected,
  • you need quick comfort or grounding,
  • stress accumulates throughout the day,
  • you struggle to slow down or breathe.

Hypnosis brings calm to the part of you that triggers these impulses, helping the body find stability
without relying on food.

How Hypnosis Helps You Reduce Cravings

Hypnosis calms the mind, balances the nervous system and helps the unconscious release emotional
triggers that activate cravings. In a hypnotic state, you gain clarity and regain natural control over
your relationship with food.

Hypnosis helps you to:

  • reduce automatic sugar cravings,
  • release emotional triggers behind snacking,
  • develop a calm inner response to stress,
  • reconnect with hunger and fullness cues,
  • let go of guilt or frustration,
  • restore a feeling of inner balance and steadiness.

Food returns to its natural place: nourishment for the body, instead of a response to emotions.

What Happens During the Session?

The session begins with a conversation to understand your habits, your emotional landscape, the
moments where cravings appear, and what you wish to change. This allows the work to be fully
personalised.

You are then guided into a calm and soothing hypnotic state. Your mind remains aware, but your internal
tension softens. This state helps you release emotional patterns while reconnecting to a more peaceful
inner rhythm.

Most people feel lighter, more in control and less drawn to sugar or snacking after the very first
session.
