Stop Nail Biting with Fast Track Hypnosis

Nail biting is a common habit, particularly with children, and there are many reasons why a person bites their nails, the skin around them, or even picks their fingers. Most nail biting starts during childhood and becomes a habit, and can continue to be a problem as the person grows up. People who bite nails find they do it are completely unaware of what they are doing -  it has become an unconscious habit.

The  nail biting habit may have started due to:

• Nerves, tension or even anxiety.
• A habit from the early years.
• Being copied from parents or other children.
• Using it to relieve stress or boredom.

Whatever the reason a person has for starting to bite their nails it is made worse by stress or anxiety.

There are many reasons why biter wants to stop.

• It is annoying their partner.
• Their fingers or nails are now going to be on show e.g., they may be getting married and having their rings photographed, etc.
• Embarrassment of their bitten down nails.
• There are some nail biters who indulge in their habit with such intensity they are constantly biting them down to the quick. This causes them to bleed, and results in severe pain and discomfort.

If the biter does persist doing this it can result in.

• Split and fractured nails.
• Bleeding and scaring around the nails.
• Deformed nails
• Infections in the nails (and possibly the mouth and/or gums)
