The Primary Nail Biting Solution Is A NLP CD

With the majority of physical habits, the underlying causes might be quite varied, and at different psychological levels. While hypnotherapy has a wide range of uses, the ailments that are most directly related to physical habits are usually the ones that can be treated with hypnotherapy most quickly and directly. Smoking cessation hypnotherapy is the most commonly recognized of these, and is among the more effective and least invasive techniques for reaching its goal. Another popular area for hypnotherapy treatment is for weight control. Similarly, hypnotherapy is also the most effective technique for conquering a nail biting habit.

The nail biting habit has much in common with smoking. It is a physical, ritualistic habit. Either might be caused by the mechanics of a physical routine, or might be symptomatic of deeper psychological problems. And in either case the habit itself can be quite effectively stopped with hypnotherapy.

Discovering and resolving underlying psychological issues, which manifest themselves in nail biting or smoking can be a process that necessitates multiple sessions with a knowledgeable hypnotherapist. Not all hypnotists and hypnotherapists are capable of performing at the deep psychological level. Fortunately, for the purposes of eliminating a nail biting or a smoking habit, they don’t need to work below the most direct physical level.

The more immediate goal of curing nail biting is much more straightforward. Many of our deeper emotional and psychological states are influenced by our physical state, so in treating the physical symptoms directly, we can also have an indirect impact on deeper issues. In addition, not all negative physical behaviors have an underlying cause; sometimes it is merely just a physical habit; it “feels” good for the person to take part in them.

I have seen that the focused and relaxed state of hypnosis can have nearly miraculous results when it comes to achieving simple physical state changes. Whenever I relieve severe burn pain, alleviate nausea, and relieve other physical problems for a client in just a few seconds, it still amazes me, even though I’m supposedly the one with the “power” (although as we know, the real power lies within the client’s unconscious mind). The capabilities exist in each of our minds to block severe pain and nausea; so helping to prevent one from nail-biting is a relatively modest goal in comparison.

I have found three of the strongest aspects of hypnotherapy to be association, substitution and anchoring. With association, one can link a negative behavior to something aversive; with substitution, one can replace the bad habit with an innocuous one; with anchoring, one can link physical movement triggers with alternative feelings and behaviors.

With association, just like the simple hypnosis trick can make a piece of white bread taste like the best New York Cheesecake to a subject, one can make the taste and feeling of nail biting to be extremely distasteful. If your subject is repeatedly conditioned that the taste and feel of nail biting is extremely unpleasant, it will help the habit to disappear.

There are chemical products that achieve this goal via foul tasting nail polish. However, with a mental association it is easy to end nail biting without depending on applying a chemical product. This “aversion” type of therapy generally is not extremely helpful. But it is only reliable when used as an adjunct to eliminating stress that causes one to bite their nails, as well as extinguishing conditioned responses (unconscious associations), which triggers one to bite their nails.

Using substitution, it can be effective to replace the nail biting affliction with a more benign pattern. For example, it is quite effective to make the suggestion that whenever one feels the impulses that lead them towards nail biting, they will take a deep breath instead, and exhale slowly, experiencing all the same feelings and resolution that nail biting used to bring. I have found the deep breathing substitute to be effective and relaxing for a wide range of ailments.

Similarly, anchoring can be used to subvert one action into another, and works well with the association and substitution techniques. It is useful to create the suggestion that each time subjects see their fingers coming to their mouth, they vividly remember the unpleasant taste association, and they take a deep breath instead to resolve the tension.

Hypnosis has been proven as one of the best methods for negative habit modification. Just as with smoking cessation, the techniques and concepts described here prove to be extremely successful as a long-term nail-biting solution.
