Neurodivergence and food, hypnosis in Geneva

Your brain is not your enemy

If you process the world differently, your relationship with food is often a battlefield. What others call a "lack of willpower" or "being picky" is actually your nervous system responding.

Here in Geneva, I help you understand your brain's operating manual so that eating stops being a survival strategy.

The reason I can speak about this so precisely is because I've experienced it. I know that feeling of being "full" after just two bites or that physical disgust for certain smells and textures that others just don’t understand.

Maybe during your childhood, your parents were driven to despair when you didn't want to eat. It wasn't bad behavior: it was already your sensory system reaching overload. Today, this sensitivity expresses itself differently, but the root cause remains the same: your unique wiring.

Why your food choices escape you

• The need for stimulation (ADHD): Your brain is naturally low on dopamine. Compulsive snacking, especially targeting sugar or crunchy textures, is your body's attempt to "wake up" or focus. Eating is your crutch to stay functional.

• Sensory soothing (ASD): The world is a permanent sensory assault. Chewing or sticking to familiar foods allows you to release internal tension. Your strict food preferences are vital safety anchors.

• The emotional refuge (Hypersensitivity): When you feel everything too deeply, food acts as a buffer. It calms the emotional storm and insulates you from the external stimuli that saturate you.

Executive paralysis

How many times whave I entered a supermarket, only to leave everything behind and walk out empty-handed. Sometimes it's because nothing looks appealing and the effort of making a choice feels too difficult. Other times, it's because the noise, the lights and the crowd become a physical assault.

If the checkout line is too long, it becomes much easier to flee and find quiet rather than carrying the weight of one more decision. It is a survival mechanism against overload.

My approach

Hypnosis allows us to act directly on your nervous system.

• Releasing guilt: Understanding that your blocks and cravings are physiological reactions, not character flaws.

• Lowering the reactivity threshold: Teaching your body to stay calm around smells, textures or noisy environments.

• Defusing paralysis: Creating new pathways so that choosing and eating no longer require exhausting energy.

• Reconciling your inner child: Soothing that part of you that felt "abnormal" at the dinner table for years.

You don't need more discipline. You need a method that respects who you are.

Take back control of your body without fighting against yourself. By understanding your story, you can turn this into true freedom.
