When using hypnotherapy to overcome an addiction, there are times when it’s helpful to have a short-term substitution for habitual behaviors (for ex. the hand-to-mouth motion of smoking or the oral fixation that smoking provided); however, these are only for use during the transition phase.

A fear of spiders, snakes and other poisonous creatures is a healthy biological function in humans.
This cautionary mechanism keeps us aware and respectful of the need to give creepy crawlies a wide berth. Sometimes, though, this natural fear reaction blooms into a phobia, which is an intensified emotional and physical aversion that is often beyond control. Read more ›

The therapist induces a deep hypnosis, where the conscious mind steps aside, giving control to the subconscious mind, which has tremendous powers. Under hypnosis our sensory faculties become more alert, the hearing, understanding and creative powers becoming keener and more acute. The healing is actually done by the person himself herself, the therapist only helping in the process by appropriate verbal suggestions.
When we simply choose a goal and rush headlong into a list of should’s and
should not’s, and think that we are going to change our behaviors and values
based on the advice of others, most of us are destined for failure, or at best on
temporary attainment of the goal, only to revert to old habits and slip back into
smoking, overeating, not exercising, a lack of effective athletic techniques, and
frustrated by our failure to reach a rewarding career and relationship goals. Read more ›

The subconscious mind comes up with all sorts of ways to serve us, even ones in which we really would prefer not to engage, like nail biting. There are several reasons why a person chews on their nails and cuticles; these may include a need to relieve nervousness, stress or boredom or, even as a means to mentally escape. Over time, this behavior becomes an entrenched habit which can defy conscious intervention.
The good news is that habits such as nail biting are learned behaviors and can be easily changed with hypnosis. The process is comfortable and relaxing and entails training the brain to let go of the old habit while installing new ways of achieving desired feelings of peace, confidence and creativity. In a fairly short time, those fingernails stubs and raw cuticles heal into healthy and attractive reflections of your new, balanced self!
Following success with hypnotherapy, many people even forget to remember that they ever struggled with biting their nails. Hypnosis is an affordable, safe and drug free approach to letting go of unwanted habits.
