Habit Change
“I can’t seem to stop doing it, even though I desperately want to.”
Nail biting, skin picking, habitual drinking, hair pulling, gum chewing, phone checking, thumb sucking, binge eating, teeth grinding, tea drinking, social media, comfort shopping, video games, tanning
Unwanted habits make us feel out of control: because we can't seem to stop doing something we want to stop doing, particularly when it is harmful to our self esteem or physical health.
Habits often start in childhood, sometimes fading away and then resurfacing for various reasons (for example, as a response to a stressful situation) in adulthood.
These repeated behaviours become habitual: they are often done automatically without any real thought.

Hypnotherapy and Habits
Hypnotherapy is highly effective in treating habits because it accesses the unconscious mind where habit impulse is stored.
I believe that we can't just remove a habit because they clearly "give" the do-er something (like a sense of relief or a thrill). Instead, I will help you change those automatic habitual responses and replace them with something more agreeable.

"Hair pulling has NEVER ONCE been even a slight urge for me since I met you."
"My skin is so much better. I haven't picked it and I'm not obsessing over it every evening. It's weird but I feel free."
“Good news: she has not sucked her thumb at all since the session. I am thrilled to bits”
