Nail Biting | Hypnotherapy Brighton, Hove & Lewes

Nail biting is the compulsive habit of not only biting the nails, but commonly the skin around the nails.

This often causes the nails to be very low with sometimes with raw cuts and abrasions around. This can be very embarrassing, and you may find that you want to hide your hands for fear of judgement.

You might find that there are plenty of occasions when nail biting including when concentrating, in meetings, when nervous or excited. Perhaps you want to make them smooth, but the more you pick and bite the rougher they become.

You may be concerned about the damage youre causing and havetried to stop but been as yet unsuccessful.

Nail biting is a hypnotic behaviour. What I mean by this is that it is often done in a trance like state. Often you don't necessarily choose to bite the nails, or even realise your hands gravitating towards your mouth but before you know it there they are, biting away.

Hypnosis is good for changing these behaviours because it uses trance to combat a trance. You create changes on the unconsonscious to change an often unconscious behaviour... it just makes sense.
