Trichotillomania Therapy – 4 Simple Tips For Children Pulling Hair

Trichotillomania is a compulsive behavior to pull out hair especially stressful times. It is usually self-inflicted and destructive in nature. The causes mostly come from emotional distress, anxiety, depression and trauma that have been left unresolved for a long time. This eventually led to an addiction to hair pulling from the age of 9 to 13.

Therapy is absolutely necessary if your child is stricken with trichotillomania. Do not underestimate your role in the therapy as you are also a part of the whole treatment process.

The following are some tips for you when you are helping a child to deal with the therapy and any problems arisen at home.

  • Be calm and do your best not to be emotionally affected by the sight of your child pulling out hair. The most important thing you must keep focus is never make your child feel shameful or hurtful about his or her behavior. Never add more negative stimuli to your child by ridiculing or scolding him or her as it just defeats the purpose of the trichotillomania therapy.
  • Make sure you are focus on the bigger picture. Understand that your child has their own way to cope with stress and difficulties in their lives. Believe in the trichotillomania therapy that it will correct it soon enough. Actually, hair pulling doesn’t feel painful to your child but rather a soothing feeling.
  • Take some time to really understand trichotillomania and their conditions. Take responsibility in making sure that your child undergoes the proper therapy or treatment.
  • Always find out ways you can help your child by talking to people with similar experiences.
