Hypnosis

Hypnotherapy is an adjunctive technique that makes use of hypnosis to help cure particular symptoms or medical issues.

It`s a perfectly safe form of therapy conducted in a quiet, comfortable and extremely calm environment. Your safety and comfort is my top priority.

Initial hypnotic relaxation

By calming down the frontal cortex's activity, hypnotherapy's initial relaxation component gets things started. Reduced activity in this part of the brain, which is essential for planning and making decisions, increases activity in other parts of the brain that are involved in information integration and filtering. We become more receptive to information, suggestible, and capable of inducing more powerful mental feelings. It`s highly effective.

Nail Biting and Stress

As with all fleeting 'quick fixes' to stress we are often left with feelings of embarrassment and shame once we come to our senses.

It`s crucial to stop biting nails because it leaves us with more problems than we began with leading to more negative emotions and induced stress.
