Nail Biting

Nail biting is caused by many different reasons, like stress, boredom, anxiety or a lack of comfort.  People with bigger nails often seem to have the tendency of nail biting.  Even dead skin around their cuticles doesn't escape this torture.  Even at times, there are unknown kinds of germs which remain concealed under the nail. By biting the nails, these germs enter the stomach which in turn makes people ill.

 

To stop this habit one must decide that they are going to stop it. 

​

Hypnotherapy has been proven to be one of the most straightforward and effective ways of getting people to stop simple compulsive behavior such as Nail and/or Finger Biting. Nail biting is usually a life-long habit but the duration of the problem is irrelevant in terms of resolving it.  Associated problems that also respond well to this kind of treatment include finger-picking and nail-tearing.

 

There is a huge range of techniques that can be used to stop nail biting. From the field of neuro-linguistic programming (NPL), we utilize anchoring techniques and sometimes a regression technique to discover a traumatic life event and heal it.

 

From the field of hypnotherapy, we utilize very direct techniques, combined with a range of approaches from indirect metaphor to direct command. It is very straight to the point and usually works very well.
