Hair Pulling Hypnotherapy

Overcoming Hair and Eyelash Pulling with Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy. If you’ve ever found yourself pulling at your hair or eyelashes, you know how frustrating and overwhelming it can feel. The urge to pull might bring a moment of temporary relief, but all too often, it’s followed by regret. You may feel stuck in a cycle, wanting to stop but not knowing how to break free. It’s a tough habit to shake, and the emotions that follow can leave you feeling guilty, self-critical, and frustrated with yourself. But here’s the thing: you don’t have to go through this alone. Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy offers a gentle and empowering approach to help you understand why your brain responds with hair pulling and how to rewire it. Instead of focusing on past triggers, we help you develop the tools to shift your responses in a healthier direction, so you can regain control and feel confident in breaking the cycle.

What is Hair and Eyelash Pulling (Trichotillomania)?

Hair and eyelash pulling, also known as Trichotillomania, is when you feel the irresistible urge to pull out your own hair or eyelashes. For some, this may feel like a release or a way to cope with stress or tension, but the relief is often short-lived. Afterwards, you may feel guilty, ashamed, or frustrated, and the cycle continues.
If you’re experiencing any of the following, it might be time to break the habit:

Hair pulling– You find yourself pulling at your hair, even when you don’t want to.
Eyelash pulling – You’ve developed the urge to pull at your eyelashes or eyebrows.
Pulling as a response to anger – You pull your hair when you feel angry, frustrated, or upset.
Automatic pulling – You catch yourself pulling without even realising it.
Regret and guilt after pulling – After pulling, you feel ashamed, frustrated, or upset with yourself.
Pulling during moments of stress or boredom – You turn to pulling as a way to manage stress, anxiety, or boredom.
Avoidance of social situations due to visible hair loss – You feel self-conscious and avoid certain activities because of the visible effects of the pulling.

If any of these resonate with you, know that Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy can help you break free from the habit, regain control, and create lasting change.

Here’s how hypnotherapy can help:

Understand your brain’s response: We’ll take the time to help you understand why your brain turns to pulling. With this awareness, you’ll feel more in control and empowered to change.
Rewire your brain: Hypnotherapy works by accessing your subconscious mind and helping to rewire your brain. We’ll create new neural pathways that allow you to respond to stress, anxiety, or boredom in healthier ways.
Replace the urge with healthier responses: Instead of pulling, you’ll learn how to redirect your energy and attention. You’ll gain new coping mechanisms that feel more aligned with your goals and values.
Reduce stress and anxiety: A lot of the time, pulling is a response to stress or anxiety. Hypnotherapy helps you calm your mind and reduce those feelings, making it easier to manage your emotions without turning to hair pulling.
Build confidence and control: As you make progress, you’ll feel more confident in your ability to manage the behavior. With each session, you’ll gain more control, and with that control comes a greater sense of self-worth.

Practical tools: You’ll leave each session with tools you can use right away to manage your urges and build new habits.
Rewiring your brain: We’ll work together to help your brain create new, healthier responses to stress, anxiety, and boredom.
