One kind of condition called Trichotillomania occurs when a person develops an obsession with pulling their own hair. Compulsive hair pulling and bald spots on the head are signs of this disorder.
Compulsive hair pulling and bald spots on the head are signs of this disorder.
One mindful method of treating Trichotillomania is urge surfing.
It entails being acutely aware of the feelings and ideas connected to the temptation to pick hair without attempting to suppress or act upon it.
Recognizing and accepting that we have the impulse to rip out our hair is the first step. Fighting it will be easier if you accept it.
The next stage is to acknowledge our emotions and desires and to acknowledge that we are experiencing them, without immediately attempting to alter them.
Reminding ourselves that cravings are fleeting and will soon subside on their own is something we should strive to do.
When the cravings arise, we could feel uneasy for a while, but we should remain composed and patient and allow the urges to subside.
