Help to Stop Hair Pulling Using
Hypnotherapy & Counselling in Hampshire
Help with hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting and compulsive hair or lash pulling using hypnotherapy and counselling
Trichotillomania is a psychological condition characterised by an overwhelming urge to pull out one’s own hair, affecting various areas including the scalp, body hair, and eyelashes. Individuals with this condition may find themselves pulling out hair in small strands or in large clumps, resulting in bald patches on the scalp, eyebrows, or other body areas. The physical consequences can be painful and may lead to significant distress regarding one’s appearance and self-confidence.
In addition to hair-pulling, some individuals may engage in skin-picking behaviours, resulting in unsightly scabs and sores. Breaking free from these compulsive habits can be particularly challenging, especially during periods of heightened stress.
Many individuals with trichotillomania also experience low self-esteem, which often accompanies hair-pulling and skin-picking behaviours. Stressful situations can exacerbate these symptoms. Do you notice that your urges intensify when you feel angry, bored or anxious? Often, these behaviours can occur unconsciously; you may find yourself pulling your hair without even realising it. Despite your desire to stop, the compulsion can feel overwhelming and difficult to control.
Hypnotherapy and Counselling are extremely effective in the treatment of hair pulling
While the act of pulling out hair or picking at skin may provide temporary relief, it is often followed by feelings of frustration, loss of control, and embarrassment. Many individuals experience profound emotions such as self-loathing, guilt or shame after engaging in these behaviours. Unfortunately, these negative feelings can exacerbate the underlying issues that triggered the hair-pulling or skin-picking in the first place, creating a vicious cycle of destructive behaviour that can be challenging to break.
If you recognise any of these symptoms within yourself, consider seeking support through Hypnotherapy, Hypnoanalysis, and Counselling. These therapeutic approaches can help you address the root causes of your behaviours and empower you to regain control over your actions.
Visible Effects of Trichotillomania
The visible effects of hair pulling can lead sufferers to spend significant time trying to conceal the damage they have inflicted on themselves. Do you find yourself dedicating extra time to your daily routine, rearranging your hair to hide bald patches? Are you anxious on rainy or windy days, worried that your bald spots may be exposed?
Imagine how liberating it would feel to no longer have to constantly cover up your hair-pulling habit. By overcoming these challenges, you can enjoy a more comfortable life, participating in everyday activities without the burden of worry or self-consciousness.
