Using NLP & Clinical Hypnotherapy To Stop Compulsive Nail Biting.
Stop Biting Your Nails For Good With Riverina Mind Design.
Nail biting might seem like a minor problem, but for people who do it compulsively it is a very real and often destructive habit. Some studies show that as many as 50% of all people under the age of 18 have issues with nail biting, with up to 27% of people 18 to 22 years old continuing with it. It is a habit that can make you very unhappy and self conscious, but it is also a habit that can be resolved quite easily with NLP and Hypnotherapy.
Why Does Compulsive Nail Biting Occur?
Compulsive nail biting is most often a habit that you are completely unaware of while you are doing it. You see the results, of course, in your damaged nails and embarrassment at the way your hands look, but you have no awareness of when you are actually biting your nails. It is not enough, then, to try to get rid of compulsive nail biting by using will power or other “tricks” to stop the habit.
Some of the symptoms of and signs of compulsive nail biting include:
- Cuticles that bleed
- Sore, red finger tips
- Frequent infections in the mouth and fingernails
- Deformed and misshapen nails
- Dental problems affecting the teeth and gums
Even more damaging than the physical impact of compulsive nail biting is the emotional impact is has on your life. It is common to have strong feelings of guilt or shame about the habit, even though it is an unconscious behaviour that can affect anyone at any age. Compulsive nail biting is based in an automatic thought pattern that you learned at some point in your life, so if you want to eliminate this problem then you have to eliminate the faulty thought pattern. You have to re-train your mind with a different thought pattern, one that is positive and constructive, and make it part of your deep inner resources. Once it becomes an automatic part of your unconscious mind, the old behaviour disappears the new, more desirable behaviour takes over.
