Hypnotherapy for nail biting?

i have been gnawing on my nails ever since i had teeth. not sure why but i think its a combination of nerves, boredom and impulsiveness. my nails are soo stubby and short its ugly! i have tried to quit millions of times, tried the bad tasting nail polish (bit right through it), got fake nails (kept them on for 24 hours and bit through those), tried everything!


i want to try hypnotherapy and i believe in the hypnosis stuff, but i really dont have money to waste if it doesnt work! have you or anyone you know tried it and did it work??? thank you

Hypnotherapy for nail biting?
I know it works for smoking cessation so it should work for nail biting....not everyone gets results in hypnotherapy

I think the nail biting is from stress and bad habit. Put tape over your nails for a while, or until you find you aren't raising your hand to your mouth to bite your nails.





Also, we did an experiment in science to test the bacteria under your nails, and DO NOT BITE THEM. The dish we had rubbed the swab on was covered in green fury stuff. It was gross enough to stop me from ever wanting to bite my nails again.





If you really want to do the experiment to scare yourself so that you won't bite your nails, get a petrie(sp?) dish and put clear jello in it, swab under your nails, and put it in an incubator for a day or two.
Reply:Hello,





I have done hypnosis for my son who bits his nails and it really does work.





Please look in your area and find a Hypnotist, and you will be amazed at how well it works.





Good Luck!
