Hypnotherapy – An Edge to Treating Anxiety

Anxiety and nervous disorders can have an equally disruptive impact on the body as it does on the mind. From hair-pulling to nervous scratching, grinding teeth to chewing lips, these behaviours (BFRBs) can manifest as intense, uncontrollable urges that can be very difficult to overcome. Nail-biting is among the most apparent, common, and maligned of the BFRBs, affecting as many as 1 in 20 people.

Nail-biting has been given a very negative rep – and with good cause. While some people twirl their hair, and others fiddle with jewellery to deal with stress and anxiety, nail-biting is seen as a heavily criticised habit, with many a parent chastising their child for chewing on their nails.

From age-old remedies involving painting the nails with foul-tasting adhesives to medical treatments that can do more harm than good, for generations, people have searched high and low for a solution to this problem without much success.

Recently, nail-biting has been examined and better understood with anxiety and stress as the identified culprits for this habit. Hypnotherapy is one of the most recognised treatments for stress, anxiety, and other disorders, capable of taking a holistic, non-medicinal approach to most things related to the everyday pressures on the mind, including the issues and challenges that can lead to persistent nail-biting.

What is Nail biting?

Nail biting, also called onychophagia, often begins in childhood and, if left untreated, can continue well into adolescence and on to adulthood. Onychophagia isn’t considered terribly dangerous, but the habit can lead to a number of related problems and ailments if left unchecked.

The habit often begins during childhood and essentially involves the client chewing or gnawing on their nails to varying degrees. Nail-biting can range from mild to severe, and clients will often bite on their nails, unknowingly, until the keratin has been bitten back to the flesh beneath, sometimes leading to bleeding and significant pain.

The Negative Effects of this Habit

Besides the visible physical damage that these actions can do to the body, the associated complexes, negative perceptions, and lingering stress they cause can be equally, if not more destructive. Often seen as a “disgusting” habit by those who have never been a victim of the compulsion, nail-biting can lead to a difficult cycle of anxiety triggering biting, internal negative reinforcement from others, and even more resulting stress. These are just a few of the damaging, risky, and often painful consequences of nail-biting:

  • Swelling and redness
  • Painful bleeding at the end of the finger
  • Infection from ingesting bacteria living under the nails
  • Self-Esteem problems
  • Anxiety caused by people judging you

Beyond the physical problems that nail- biting causes clients – especially children – are often judged and condemned for their habitual behaviour with many people offering little sympathy to those affected by the habit.

Hypnotherapy - From Chewed Up Nails to a Happier Mind

As many as one in twenty people suffer from nail-biting and its associated disorders. Those lucky enough to be diagnosed as soon as the habit becomes a noticeable problem are usually able to find effective ways to manage it. For many others, however, finding a lasting treatment can be a tricky endeavour.

While there are many nail-biting, many are either untested or can be dangerous to the client. Hypnotherapy is an effective tool and treatment for such ailments as nail-biting and is great at getting to the root cause of the habit.

Instead of going after the habit itself, hypnotherapy is centred around addressing the associated causes of stress and anxiety and then treating the triggers of the problem. This holistic approach means that hypnotherapy treats far more than any singular issues causing problems like nail-biting, it addresses multiple elements of the mind.

Here's what our clients have to say

Have been seeing linda for a few months now and has changed my life for the better greatly! I was sceptical at first but Linda made me feel so comfortable and she really is great at what she does My issue was with alcohol and no longer is an issue for me. Thanks again Linda

I was a habitual worrier. If all was ok my mind would search for the next problem. I came out of my second session with Linda and this had disappeared. I felt light. I had a realisation that whatever my situation, I had a choice. It was highly liberating and has persevered. I ended up studying hypnosis and have a new respect for what Linda helped me achieve. She's genuine and down to earth. Thanks Linda

Linda is a very experienced practitioner in the field. I feel very lucky to have had support from such a seasoned professional. Thank you for all you have done to help me progress Linda. It is much appreciated.

It’s been 8 weeks smoke free and the idea of picking up a cigarette is so unappealing I now sometimes wonder how I was ever a smoker. My skin is better, I'm not carrying around guilt every day, I don't stink, I'm not as anxious, basically I'm so happy it's all behind me and count my lucky stars I don't have to live that smoker life anymore. I think I was really ready to quit this time, and can't thank Linda enough for helping me make that happen. I didn't know if I had the strength to quit for good, but the session we did reminded me just how strong I am. Thank you millions and millions Linda, that one afternoon in your chair has changed my life and helped me kick a habit I've struggled with for over 10 years. Thank you so very much 🙏🙏

In 2008 I visited Linda in her Subiaco clinic to treat a psychological tick involving constant jaw clenching/clicking (probably around 200 times per day - for years). After just 1 session it stopped dead immediately - 100%. It has now remained a forgotten habit for 9 years... had I not gone to her, I would have probably developed an arthritic jaw by now!

Wow! There are no words that can really express my transformation after a few sessions with Linda. When I initially came to see Linda, I was suffering from anxiety and depression from a number of traumatic experiences I had been through in recent years. My anxiety and depression had started impacting my work, relationships and health. I averaged 2 HRS of sleep a night and sat on my couch every painfully stricken day, debilitated by everything that was going on. After my first session, I drove out of Linda’s office feeling light as a feather; I slept like a baby that night and signed up to a gym. By my 3rd session, I was comfortable with speaking to a group of people, I was sleeping regularly and had a huge motivation to go to the gym six days a week. Not only is my life on track, I am following my dreams. Things that I promised myself I would do one day, I am already doing. What stood out for me, was that Linda’s work taught my inner being to help myself, rather than rely on other people to help me find my way. Linda’s work not only instantaneously helped me, the effects of Linda’s work has unfolded over the last 3 months. Thank you Linda. You are truly a blessing.
