Do you bite and chew your nails and perhaps the skin at the tips of your fingers?
Is it linked to negative emotional states such as stress and anxiety or perhaps frustration, concentration, boredom or nervousness?
Compulsive nail-biting is usually initiated or influenced by negative emotional states, and then results in a negative emotional feedback loop that results in the recurring compulsive behavior.
Onychophagia is the technical term for compulsive grooming or nail-biting. It is actually classed by the American Psychiatric Association as an obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It is classified as a body-focused repetitive behavior (BFRB), making it more than just a ‘bad habit’. 
The good news is treatment for nail biting responds well to hypnotherapy and neurolinguistic programming by a qualified and skilled practitioner. Because nail biting has both behavioral and emotional components, successful treatment focus upon both.
