Nail biting is a terrible behaviour that affects about half of all teens, but many grow out of it on their own. When nail-biting (or thumb sucking) crosses the line from a poor habit to a more severe type of obsessive-compulsive behaviour, it is known as obsessive-compulsive behaviour. It is not only uncomfortable and socially unpleasant at this point, but it may also be painful since inflammation and infection can occur.
Nail biting and thumb sucking, on the other hand, are both unintentional habits. No one chooses to bite their nails or chew on their thumb intentionally; nonetheless, children and teens will find themselves doing so when they are worried or anxious. It is critical to make a person cognizant and aware of their habit in order to gently and simply free them from it. Because it is an unconscious activity, it may appear that controlling the habit is difficult.
However, there is assistance available. Hypnosis and NLP are effective tools for overcoming behaviours including nail biting and thumb sucking, as well as hair pulling, skin picking, fidgeting, and teeth grinding.
It is sometimes feasible to break the habit in a single session. However, working on the underlying worry and tension that causes these patterns usually necessitates a few sessions.
During hypnosis, you become more aware of your surroundings and relax deeply. Suggestions to the subconscious mind guarantee that you create a new response to the stress and anxiety triggers to which you would normally respond with the habit. You’ll have the healthy, well-shaped nails you’ve always desired in a few weeks.
Even so, it’s critical that you’re motivated to quit chewing your nails. Hypnotherapy and NLP help you make the decision to change, but only if you’re willing to do so.
