An Integrative Approach to Hair Pulling

Exploration in a secure environment
Exploring trichotillomania within a therapeutic setting offers individuals a non-judgmental space to understand the complexities of their experience without the immediate pressure to overcome the behavior.
This process allows for a deeper exploration of emotions, triggers, and underlying factors contributing to trichotillomania, fostering self-awareness and acceptance.
By embracing the condition without the expectation of immediate resolution, individuals can develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves, paving the way for long-term understanding and potential personal growth.

Motivation
Approaching the exploration of trichotillomania, I come in with a neutral stance, recognizing that each individual's motivation and readiness for change vary.
Whether someone is seeking support with a strong determination to overcome the challenges associated with trichotillomania or simply expressing a curiosity to understand their experience better, all levels of motivation are welcomed and respected.
This process is adaptable, aiming to meet individuals where they are in their journey, supporting their unique goals and preferences. This inclusive approach allows for a collaborative exploration that aligns with the individual's pace and readiness for change.

Support Group vs Therapy
This group is meant to support members’ exploration of their body focused repetitive behaviors, and is not therapy.
I encourage all members to find an individual therapist to meet with regularly so that issues that show up in our limited series of sessions can be addressed more personally and deeply, as each member has different needs and reactivity to the subject matter.
I am happy to help you locate a licensed therapist specific to your needs, just ask.
