My practice of 30+ years was focussed on using and teaching protocols from NLP, EFT and other types of Kinesiology that are practiced world wide. By changing our limiting beliefs, we can change the way we respond to life situations. In fact that is all that we actually have control over.......not other people or situations, but over our responses to other people and situations. And those responses come from our beliefs that have developed from our (early) life history and often we don't realize that they are forming the basis of our conclusions and responses.
We have different ways of accessing the beliefs and clients are often very surprised about what the think they believe and what belief is operating at the subconscious level (eg, It is safe for me to be healthy, vs. I need to stay unwell) Dr. Bruce calls this the "tape recorder" part of the consciousness in his talk. This is often at the heart of why many efforts to get "well" seem to not hit the mark. It isn't intentional or conscious, but it is very powerful and can sabotage any best intentions.

Thanks for the explanation of what it's about. If that's what it's about, you don't have to sell me on the idea. I believe it. I had stress induced childhood asthma. It started when I was 9, the year that my brother died in a truck accident. My asthma was thought to be caused by allergies.
When I was about 14 I borrowed my older brother's text book, "An Introduction to Psychology". I wasn't thinking about asthma; I was just reading it out of curiosity. Then I came across some information concerning childhood asthma. It said that asthma could be psychosomatic and triggered by some event in the past. And the cure would likely be to realize what the event was. So I thought back to the year that my brother died (he was 12) and I realized that his dying was the event that triggered my asthma. That's all it took; I never had another asthma attack since that time.
I have since studied psychology in school, and out of school as well. I have read my fair share of psychology books. I even have a certificate in hypnosis, the result of taking a class in hypnosis. So I don't feel as though I don't know what motivates me and I don't have emotional hang-ups over food, or anything else for that matter.
But I agree that what you are suggesting could be good for some people.
I'm not sure if it will necessarily lead them to the best diet of "natural whole foods" but it may help them if they have emotional-eating issues.
