This is interesting, you are unable to eat solid foods – you just can’t seem to swallow and have to resort to a baby’s menu of soft foods. No doubt your weight is dropping too. Meal times are very stressful. Or perhaps this only occurs when eating out, when other people can see you what you eat/ (or in this case) don’t eat.
There is a tension in your body and your mind forsees the anxiety with trying to eat, the fear of swallowing food, the choking fear and it becomes a vicious circle. Hypnosis is a relaxation and in this case, we are relaxing the throat, allowing you to believe that you can indeed swallow food. The background to this needs to be looked at – was it a choking incident in public that has now made you phobic or did you have a discussion while eating that you couldn’t really swallow (mentally) the contents of it – like breaking up or indeed, stepping the relationship up. Something has caused you to feel this inability to swallow foods, and only your subconscious mind knows why and only your subconscious can change the image in your head so we take the emotion away (because we cannot change the past only the way it is viewed).
