Hair pulling habits and hypnotherapy support
Hair pulling can become an automatic loop tied to tension, boredom or emotion. Hypnotherapy may support awareness and alternative responses as complementary care — not a promised cure for trichotillomania.
Understanding the loop without shame
Many people pull outside full awareness. Useful work starts with curious noticing — triggers, body cues and aftermath — rather than more self-attack.
