You eat even though you're not hungry. You feel bad after a meal – physically and emotionally. You promise yourself that tomorrow will be different. And tomorrow the same thing happens.
It's not a lack of willpower. It's not poor discipline. It's a pattern rooted deep in the subconscious that no diet can fix—because a diet addresses the food, not the cause.
I'm Staš Pirc, a hypnotherapist from Ljubljana, and I specialize in working with subconscious eating patterns. I help people who have tried diets, calorie counting apps, and dieting - but have found themselves falling back into the same cycle over and over again.

Why emotional overeating isn't a food problem
Emotional eaters often know what they should be eating. The problem isn't the knowledge—the problem is that food serves another function. It's a comfort after a hard day. It's a reward. It's a way to drown out stress, loneliness, boredom, or anxiety.
When we try to break this pattern with determination and self-control alone, the subconscious fights back. And it usually wins – so the cycle repeats itself for years and decades.
Hypnotherapy works at the level where the pattern is actually stored. It's not about fighting food or your body. It's about understanding what food really means to your subconscious mind - and reshaping that pattern at a deeper level.
How the program works
The Emotional Overeating Program is individual and holistic – tailored to you, your triggers, and your eating patterns. It is not a group workshop and it is not a one-time session.
We start with a free consultation call, where we go over your situation together and see if this approach is right for you. No obligation.
Sessions take place in person in Ljubljana (Medvedova cesta 18) or remotely - for everyone across Slovenia.
As part of the program:
- We investigate the real cause of your eating pattern
- Hypnotherapy transforms subconscious triggers and beliefs
- We develop a healthy, natural relationship with food and the body
- We build internal stability that doesn't need food as an emotion regulator
Who is this program for?
This program is for you if:
- You eat when you're stressed, alone, tired, or emotional – not when you're hungry.
- Have you tried diets before, but the pattern always comes back?
- You feel shame or guilt after overeating, but you still can't stop.
- You know the problem isn't in the food, but somewhere deeper - but you don't know where to start
Why hypnotherapy – and why this program
Emotional overeating is not an eating disorder in the clinical sense – it is a subconscious pattern of emotion regulation. That is why I do not treat it as an eating disorder, but for what it is: a subconscious pattern that once evolved as a solution, but now causes suffering.
I am a certified hypnotherapist, trained in Ericksonian hypnotherapy, medical hypnosis and conversational hypnosis, a practicing psychotherapist and co-founder of the Institute for Clinical and Conversational Hypnosis. I have been working with eating patterns and habits for over a decade.
The price of the program is determined during a free introductory call, depending on the scope and your specific needs.
