Hypnotherapy for Nail Biting Gold Coast
Our hypnotherapy for nail biting can help you to overcome this deeply ingrained habit, and release the hold that it has on your confidence. Many people suffer with nail biting, and the reasons for developing a nail biting habit are as varied as those who experience it. Generally though, nail biting results as a nervous habit or as a result of latent anxiety. Often, nail biters develop this habit as a form of relief from stressful situations. It can become so ingrained that sufferers may not even realise they are biting their nails.
Statistics around nail biting in Australia might surprise you. Some experts report that as many as 35% of children suffer from the problem, whereas up to 20% of young adults and 5% of mature adults struggle with nail biting. Like any learned behaviour, nail biting can remain as a habit long after the original trigger has abated. There are a range of treatment options available, such as topical solutions for the nails themselves, however many people find them ineffective. This is because topical solutions do not treat the underlying causes for nail biting. Our hypnotherapy for nail biting is specifically designed to uncover the root causes for your habit, and to effectively address them.
Nail biting can cause more damage than you may realise. Some of the effects of nail biting include:
- A loss of self-confidence because of embarrassment
- Difficulty dealing with stressful situations adequately
- Disease and infection of the nail beds and fingers
- Dental problems which arise from infections of the hands and nails
- Spread of warts and other conditions.
Many coaches, personal trainers, or lifestyle gurus will tell us that we just need to ‘find the right motivation’ to achieve our goals. However, this is sometimes easier said than done. A lack of motivation, despite popular belief, is not necessarily a sign of laziness or lack of desire for something.
