chewing

[grannycarol]

hello my daughter zoe is 24yrs old and for years has chewed her clothes .She also tares them t shirts socks pants etc everything she wears.She doesnt realise shes doing it.I get home from work and find a pile on cotton where she is sat.She has ruined all her clothes she even chews towels anything she can get her hands on.A few months ago I realized she was acting strange she would get up walk round the room walk to the corner of the room and make hand movements like she was washing her hands.When sat down she looks like shes pulling a rope she does alsorts of hand movements.She went to see a specialist twice and was told she was ok just bordom.I am not convinced do you think hypnosis can help and if so where do I seek the help?

I'm assuming you were mistaken when you listed your daughter's age as 24 years. Am I right, or is she actually 24 years old? If she is an adult, this presentation invites significant concern and the behavior is not due to boredom.
