Use your mind’s eye to see yourself beyond this addictive behavior.

After exhausting all of the outside options I was willing to try, I knew that the only hope for healing my trichotillomania lay inside of me.  I began to believe that one day I would have a full head of hair.  I began to believe the possibility of self-healing, not to just control my hair pulling by using some method outside of myself.

Can you see your life without hairpulling in it?

The power to completely heal is totally within your own grasp.

Violence against women and children is the most prevalent human rights violation
globally — and this violence teaches children it’s OK, even moral, to use force to impose
one’s will.

The core common theme that I see within my hair pulling student’s childhood stories is one of an out of balance (and often out of control) power dynamic within the family. We must begin to understand that the way our culture, and consequently the family, views and handles power is at the very core of the rising numbers of trichotillomania sufferers.

Has your trichotillomania given you the ability to get up every day and function?

We’ll talk about the other side of hair pulling later on, but for right now I want you to see that, YOU ARE NOT STUPID NOR IS IT LIKELY THAT YOU’RE CRAZY.

You are brilliant and in that brilliance you found a way to save yourself at the lowest cost to the people around you.

But it’s time to save yourself in a brand new, better way.

You don’t have to live a half-life with trichotillomania any more.

Hair pulling can teach me so much about myself. It may have saved my life or kept me from losing my mind. I can now use it to understand exactly how I abuse myself and how to transform my entire life for the better.

In my Pull-Free, At Last! program, I offer this antidote.

Can you imagine being grateful for your hair pulling? Pulling your hair out helped your sensitive inner self to survive through situations that might otherwise have emotionally wiped you out or caused you to lose your sanity. You too can get to this place where you feel grateful for your hair pulling.

What can we learn about ending compulsive hair pulling from ancient healing rites?

Long ago in cultures lost to us, “anyone who had suffered loss of health in any way was not treated with external remedies.  In most cases they were taken to the temple and put into a king of sleep.”  The distressed or ill would venture to the nearest temple where priestesses placed them into a deep trance-like sleep and brought on powerful healing.  The symbols of geometry and numerology were used in this work.

So, can art utilizing geometric symbols and numbers and other images help to heal trichotillomania?

Art therapists have long known that art can help us to shift things within the psyche.  Any tool that has the possibility to assist the process and doesn’t harm is worth a try.  Art that you create for yourself can help you to heal by bypassing your rational mind and “interacting” directly with the deeper levels of your being.  This deeper place is where healing must take place to be truly effective.  In simpler words, it can help you break through your stuck places.

The true healing journey is a creative process.

“You cannot begin the work of releasing an addiction until you can acknowledge that you are addicted. Until you realize that you have an addiction, it is not possible to diminish its power”

Right now, where is the burning desire to stop pulling out your hair? Is it present and available? Will you do anything to heal it, no matter what it takes? Are you so committed that you’ll

MISSION POSSIBLE!

Your mission to heal your hair pulling is more than possible!  Know this and ACT accordingly.  Make removing trichotillomania from your life your TOP PRIORITY–remembering that you can move onto other things once you’ve accomplished this one thing.

Your answers are inside of you.  Keep looking within and be willing to have your eyes opened!

In my Pull-Free, At Last! curriculum, I list five over-arching, “Umbrella” principles of healing any type of compulsive behavior, including trichotillomania:

1. Achieving healing is your responsibility and yours alone. No one else can do this for you.
2. The goal is to heal the perceptions that keep you in the destructive hair pulling cycle.
3. Any sincere request to see the truth will drop you into self-healing.
4. Healing occurs when you complete and release your trapped emotional energy.
5. After healing, your resolve to remain free may continue to be tested.

Be assured…you have everything inside of you that you need in order to heal.

What is the importance of family history when it comes to healing trichotillomania?

I believe that it’s important to explore your family history.  Not for the purpose of blaming anyone, but to heal the perceptions which led you to become and remain a hair puller.
