Stop Nail Biting Hypnosis Script
Nail biting is a constant compulsion for many people. Biting fingernails, sucking nails, chewing nails all lead to ugly hands, bad nails and loss of function. The nail biting habit is unconscious and automatic. Many nail biters are ashamed of their habit but don't know how to stop nail biting. Every nail biter is different. Some people only bite their nails occasionally, some bite their nails all the time. Most nail biting cures like creams and barriers only work for a short time, and then the habit starts again.
Stop nail biting hypnosis
Nail biting is a nervous habit associated with stress. Hypnosis removes the cause of the nail biting. This script works because each section of the script deals with a different psychological aspect of nail biting. The script has a guide to how each section works and what work each line is doing.
Alter the Stop Nail Biting script to suit each individual's particular habits. The Stop Nail Biting hypnosis script can be adapted to deal with ending thumb sucking, skin picking and hair pulling. They are all anxiety habits.

| SELF ESTEEM METAPHOR SECTION | |||
| So, now I would like you to open that door, and go through it. And inside you find yourself in a large room..... and there are people in that room. | |||
| There are all the people you know in that room.... and all the people who know you ... and they are all smiling .... and looking at you... and as you walk in the room they all begin to applaud politely... and they start talking to each other ... and as you go in you meet one group and another group... and your family is there.... and people from school ... and people you met socially ... and there are people who moved away and people you haven't seen for years... and everyone who loves you is there...and everyone that you love is there... And that room is filled with love and affection...and acceptance... | Visualisation | ||
| And underneath it all there is a deep and abiding feeling of calm .... and you begin to flow and float into that feeling of calm... | dissociation | ||
| Capability | And you begin to feel... that there is no need for any tension or anxiety... that there are things you can leave behind.... things you don't need any more... because so many people love you and respect you ..... and maybe they don't say so ... but they really do... | > | indirect suggestion |
| Identity | And as you walk around that room you hear .. people talking in the distance.... people talking to each other... and you hear someone saying.... "that [clientname] is so adventurous, he is going to [placename]. Did you know that?". And someone replies "Yes! And he is going to be a star. His attitude is outstanding".... "He doesn't give himself credit. He is really good". | Validate the client's self belief | |
| Capability | And further over... someone else is saying "I think [clientname] has a great future ahead of him. I think that young man can go so far...and be anything he wants to be.... do anything he wants.... because he is capable....and he is competent.... and he has such a focus... that he knows where he is going now...you watch that young man.... in a few years you will see his name everywhere"... | Indirect validation of client's life and choices. | |

I couldn't have asked for a better son... he has become everything I have longed for... and maybe I didn't say it enough... but it is true.... " and the other person says... " yes, you are so lucky to have someone like that.... a good, decent boy.... who knows where he is going... who has picked a career for himself.... ". | Self esteem - confirmation of love and acceptance from important figures | |
| Identity | And you continue on.... feeling that acceptance of all those people.... and all their good wishes... and you reach the door in the far end of the room and you look back ... and they are all standing there... young people and old people.... they are smiling.... and they are all looking at you with such warmth and acceptance ... | Sensory distortion | |
| memory | and you stand in the doorway and look back....and as you do you begin to remember... each of these people... and what you remember about them is the success you had....and your life has been a series of successes. It might not have seemed like that at the time ... | D | |
| RECONNECTION SECTION: PAST SUCCESSES | |||
| Capability | But you have had success after success.... there was a time you know when you couldn't tie your shoelaces. And that became a success... that was important to you... and there was time when you couldn't write ... you didn't know how to tell the difference between a D and a B.... and that was so important to that little boy....and that was a success.... and there was a time when making friends was a problem... and that became a success.... | reconnect to past successes | |
| Identity | And when you think about it, [clientname] your life has been full of successes, in fact it has been one success after another.... and I know there have been setbacks.... but you have been successful at so many things... | Reframing | |
| Capability, Identity | And every year.... every month... a new success.... a new test passed.... a new ability.... and you have the ability to learn... it's a wonderful gift... you have the ability.... to decide to do something and when you decide to do something, you do it. Nothing stops you... you are a determined person... you have the ability to see things through... | D | Repetition of "ability" |
| Behaviour | And you have come here today and you are sitting in that seat breathing quietly... because you have a problem.... and that problem comes back... but you have come here today because you have decided that that problem is over. That you are never going to have a problem with your nails again...you are never going to chew your nails again | D | Validate problem, pacing |
| And this will become another one of your successes. | D | ||
| memory | And you will be able to look back on this day ... and remember this as one of your most unexpected successes. | D | Time distortion |
| PRIDE IN APPEARANCE OF NAILS | |||
| NAIL BITING POST HYPNOTIC SUGGESTIONS | |||
| Environment | And any time.... maybe you feel a little anxious.... maybe there is a bit of stress... And that hand begins to move up towards your mouth... | ||
| Behaviour, capability | the hand will suddenly seem gigantic... it will look like a bunch of bananas..... that hand will grow in size and you will become aware of that hand....and as you become aware of the hand you will feel an irresistible force ... straightening your arm out... pushing it down... pushing it away from your mouth.. you will not be able to stand that force.... that force is so overwhelming... you hand will just be pushed down....and you will be back in control. | D | Sensory Distortion, Post hypnotic suggestion |

| RESTATEMENT OF NAIL BITING CONTROL | |||
| Capability, Behaviour, Identity | From this moment onwards.... those new things will happen ... and you will be unable to chew your nails because it will be forced down and you will become aware of it because it will look huge. .... and that taste will be in your mouth ... and as soon as your hand goes down the taste disappears... and your hand goes back to normal size.... and the feeling comes in, ... the feeling of feeling great... and that feeling... over time will grow more and more... and will wash out.... the little remnants of desire to chew your nails... because you know it's not any kind of solution..... It doesn't help. It's not who you are. | D | affirm new behavior and delete old belief |
| Identity | Because you are a proud strong able young man. | D | |
| Capability | [clientname] is in control. [clientname] knows what he wants. And [clientname] wants solid strong regular nails. And now he knows how to get them. | D | |
| Capability | [clientname] has the ability to take over... and totally change that behaviour... so that it just doesn't occur to him... and that's pretty good... isn't it? | D | Tag Question |
| NAIL BITING SELF CONVINCER | |||
| REORIENTATION | |||
| Capability | So in a moment... I am going to count up from five to one, not now, but in a moment. ... And when I get to one you will come back to the present... feeling really good about yourself... and knowing that something fundamental has changed.... and knowing that today and tomorrow and in the weeks to come... you will see or feel or hear... little things that remind you... and I don't know what they are... but they will be little things that remind you... that things are different... and every one of those little things... it could be just a feeling that you get.... a sudden flash of colour maybe.... or just a note that you didn't expect.... and that will remind you ... of everything we've said today... | Sensory discrimination | |
| Identity | and of your determination and how you've changed.... and how easy it is... to change... | D | Bind of implication |
| Rule | Even long standing habits can't stand up to the power of your mind.... and your visualisation... and those abilities we've talked about.... | > | |
| So I am going to begin to start counting now... | |||
| FIVE | |||
| FOUR...you are beginning to get a little feeling back into your hands and feet.... | |||
| THREE you can move your shoulders... begin to feel a little looser... taking deep breaths.... eyelids fluttering... | |||
| TWO getting ready for a big stretch.... and a smile, coming back to the present... eyelids fluttering... becoming aware of where you are.... | |||
| ONE: EYES OPEN, FULLY ALERT.... | |||
| Welcome back. |
