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 couselling
Trichotillomania is a condition that causes sufferers to have an overwhelming urge to pull out their own hair (scalp, body hair or eyelashes). This can be anything from a few strands of hair to pulling out your hair in handfuls. If you have this condition, you may have bald spots on your head, among your eyelashes, pubic hair, or brows. The results can be extremely painful and can also affect your confidence. If you are skin-picking, then you may have unsightly scabs and sores. You may be finding this unwanted habit really difficult to break, especially during times of stress.
You may be experiencing the symptoms of low self-esteem which are often present in people who suffer from hair pulling and skin picking. Stressful situations can often make your symptoms worse. Do you find your symptoms worsen if you are feeling angry or bored? Sometimes you will do it without even being aware. Your unwanted habit can be unconscious to start with. This means that, although you really do not want to pull your hair out, you feel completely unable to stop yourself from doing it.
Although it may give you some temporary relief at the time you pull out your hair or pick at your skin, this relief is quickly replaced with feelings of frustration, loss of control and embarrassment. You may experience feelings of self-loathing, guilt or shame. This often intensifies the problem that caused your hair pulling or skin picking in the first place. It’s a vicious circle of destructive behaviour that can be very hard to break. If you recognise any or all of these symptoms in yourself then Hypnotherapy, Hypnoanalysis (hypnosis) and Counselling will help you.
Visible Effects of Trichotillomania
The visible effects of hair pulling can mean sufferers spend a huge amount of time trying to cover up the damage they have done to themselves.
Do you find yourself spending longer than normal to get ready as you have to rearrange your hair to cover up bald patches? Maybe you are anxious on rainy or windy days as it can be hard to make sure your bald patches are not exposed. Just imagine how good it will feel when you no longer have to constantly try and cover up your habit. You will find life more comfortable and you will be able to join in with ‘normal’, everyday activities free from worry.
