Arrêter de se ronger les ongles avec l’hypnose

You might think you’ve tried everything to stop this habit, yet there are different solutions to quit biting your nails. Beyond bitter nail polish, willpower, or applying fake nails… Have you ever heard of hypnosis to overcome nail biting? We’re going to explore the benefits of hypnosis and explain how it works.

 

How a hypnosis session to stop nail biting unfolds

In broad terms, a hypnosis session begins with a state of relaxation and questions from the hypnotherapist. The practitioner asks about the reasons for biting nails, how long the habit has lasted, why the person wants to stop biting their nails… These questions initially help the patient reflect and access their subconscious.

Physically, the person under hypnosis is not asleep, hears everything happening, and does not lose consciousness. Results appear after 1 to 10 sessions depending on each individual’s situation. On average, it takes about 4 sessions to overcome nail biting.

How much does a hypnosis session to stop nail biting cost?

The price is set by each practitioner and can vary depending on the city where they practice. You can expect to pay approximately between €50 and €100 per session. Hypnosis is not covered by social security.

Hypnosis is used in many situations

Hypnosis has proven effective in many areas: to quit smoking, treat depression, as an alternative to anesthesia in hospitals, and to manage pain… But how does it work?

Hypnosis allows you to enter an altered state of consciousness in order to find within yourself the answers to your own problems. It is based on the idea that every person has the resources within themselves to heal. The practitioner helps give access to the subconscious mind.
