Hypnosis to Help Stop Nail biting

Nail biting is not only one of the most common of all the 'oral compulsive' habits, it is also one of the most responsive to hypnotherapy.

The reason why most people bite their nails, whether in times of stress, or simply through habit, is essentially the same mechanism as used by overeaters and smokers - it's called 'oral satisfaction'.

Put simply, 'oral satisfaction' involves putting something in your mouth, be it a nail, a cigarette, cream cake, etc, and this will often be done in times of stress. 

Nail biting can often simply be out of habit, or it could indicate an underlying Anxiety.
