Trichotillomania is basically a disorder which has underlying anxiety, so it’s not what you’re doing. It’s about how you’re feeling. So we need to address what tension or stress you are taking because you might have noticed that when you’re taking stress this habit increases, so let’s figure out the reason behind this and get on with some therapy, you can connect with me all the best.

Hi,
Trichotillomania, a compulsive hair-pulling disorder, can be challenging, but integrating practices like meditation and yoga into your routine may provide significant relief. Meditation helps cultivate mindfulness, allowing you to become more aware of the urges when they arise and develop healthier coping mechanisms. By focusing on your breath and grounding yourself in the present moment, you can create a space between impulse and action. Similarly, yoga promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and enhances self-awareness, which can further help in managing the compulsion. Regular practice of these techniques can contribute to better emotional regulation and a greater sense of control, fostering a positive shift over time. Additionally, it may be beneficial to seek support from a therapist who specializes in trichotillomania, as they can offer personalized strategies and guidance on your journey towards healing.
