An onychophagiaist is someone who habitually bites his or
her nails. Yes, it is usually thought of as a kid problem. But for many adults,
nail-biting is so well-established that they barely realize they are doing it.
The problem? Nail-biting looks bad to others. People see a
nail biter as nervous and unsure of themselves. Plus in this germ-conscious
world, no one wants to shake hands with someone who’s just put his or her
fingers in their mouth. As a former nail-biter myself, I know exactly what you
are going through.
Sadly, nail biting is often a very difficult habit to
break for adults.
As a hypnotherapist, I treat nail biting
as a sign of stress and nervousness that has the added dimension of being a
habit that provides emotional relief. It is approached in a manner similar to
my
stop smoking and
weight loss
programs utilizing
Transformational
Hypnotism and
HypnoCoaching™. The nail biter is hypnotized to feel
generally calmer and more confident. The nail biting habit is hypnotically
removed and a new positive habit is inserted as a replacement. E-mail coaching
is provided between sessions.
I typically help nail biters become free in 2-3 sessions.
The sessions are relaxing and can also make a difference in the client's overall
sense of confidence and well-being.
