Self Hypnosis To Break Bad Habits

My daughter has a nervous habit where she rubs her nose - a lot! Can self hypnosis help break bad habits?

Sherri's Answer: Congratulations! I've never heard of that one before :) But as I said "there are no stupid questions" and I will be happy to answer it.

When you think about it, rubbing your nose a lot is just like any other habit.

Of course it can be broken (not the nose...the habit!)

Self hypnosis is a great way to do it.

When someone has a habit, they often try many times to break it. What happens is that they develop a belief that they cannot break the habit. Each time they try and don't succeed, the belief is reinforced.

So the first step is to create a new belief.

Beliefs change over time. Many people believed very strongly in Santa Claus when they were a child. This strong belief turned to doubt and then eventually to disbelief.

So you see that beliefs are not set in stone. There is room for doubt.

There is room to change the belief from "It is difficult to stop rubbing my nose" to "It is easy to stop rubbing my nose."

The second step is to realize that there have probably been times when she could have rubbed her nose and didn't act upon it. There are many times when we have a thought and don't act upon it. (For example, maybe you just want to hit someone because they are so frustrating.)

The third step is to think of a situation in the future where she might want to rub her nose. Create a vivid image and make sure it has enough sights, sounds and feelings to make it real.

That was an Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) exercise.

Finally, combine that with self hypnosis and she will quickly put an end to her habit.
