Hypnotherapy/Nail Biting

[Wispy68]

I've always had a terrible habit of biting the skin around my finger nails and they look awful! Has anyone had hypnotherapy for nail biting and did it work for you? Thanks.

Hi Nicola
Not had Hypnotherapy for Nail Biting but for lots of other things I have - most recently Flying and it works so long as you go to a Hynotherapist that practises NLP. HTH x

I have also had Hypnotherapy but not for nail biting but my god it changed my life so much for the better.

I had hypnotherapy and had to try very hard not to laugh throughout it. It didn't work for me but then i'm a bit sceptical about these things so wasn't open to it - probably depends on whether you are too. I do exactly the same thing - the skin around the nails biting and it is gross. i do it to the point of bleeding and they really hurt, don't know why, according to the hypnotherapist something in my childhood made me start (yeah, uh, ok) but i don't buy that. i have now dramatically reducd my munching by getting acrylics on my nails - it's harder to get to the skin!

Thank you all for your useful answers. I'm going to give the hypnotherapy a try. Cheers!

Just wondering if you have had the hypnotherapy yet? I am also considering it for nail - biting!
