Here is an excerpt from the article:

Most hair pullers are bright, insightful, highly sensitive and intuitive souls constantly straddling two worlds; the world of a functioning, successful individual and the secret world of their seemingly never-ending urges to pull “just one more hair”. The extraordinarily successful businesswoman may be negotiating a multi-million dollar deal with you while her mind is split between what you’re seeing and the inner realm of her urges. She wants to sit on her hands to keep them from reaching to her head. She wants to force herself to stop her crazy desires, but she’s unable.

The vast majority are female children and adults; often hiding behind makeup, wigs, weaves, hats and false eyelashes. They love to pull and hate it all at the same time. The sensations associated with hair pulling feel great to a hair puller but the aftereffects wreak havoc on their self-esteem and ultimately sever them from themselves, harshly damaging their self-relationship.

Relentless habits like hair pulling are self-harming addictions and like all bad habits, compulsions and addictions, on some level they help the sufferer to better tolerate his or her unconscious inner conflicts.

Abby also provides eight great tips on helping you with your compulsive hair-pulling.

Chances are, if you’re like any one of us who has stopped hair pulling and ended their struggle with trichotillomania, you never understood why you started pulling. Don’t you owe it to yourself to finally understand why you pull and how to heal it?

In this final segment, Abby discusses: 

1. Shifting from Victim to Empowerment 
2. I was “imprisoned” with hair pulling and life issues 
3. I finally began to listen to my own voice instead of continuing to listen to outside voices
4. Finding my own inner strength

Many hair pullers feel they are alone and do not know where or who to reach out to because they are ashamed. You are not alone. You can stop hair pulling.

But you really need to want to?

In this second segment, Abby discusses:

1. How did I turn a corner and begin working on my hair pulling
2. How I came upon the healing system I now teach
3. How I teach people to heal and how I healed myself
4. How I finally stopped searching for someone else to heal me.

In this first segment, Abby discusses:

1. What hair pulling feels like and how it becomes addictive.
2. When did I know I was a hair puller and why does it serve a need.

The idea that something is an illness is a terribly contagious message of powerlessness more overwhelming than any germ. It infects one’s mind. Reflect on this as you answer the following questions:

• How does it help to believe that trich is an illness or an incurable compulsive behavior?
• How does this belief empower you (or your hair pulling child)?
• How does it improve your life (or that of your hair pulling child)?
• If you didn’t believe this, how would it change your approach to hair pulling?

Many hair pullers struggle with intense anxiety and many believe that this anxiety is the cause of trichotillomania. However, my advanced students and I disagree. We found that trichotillomania was less the cause of our anxiety, but used by the hair puller as a tool to dampen anxiety.

Chronic anxiety is the result of unfinished emotions. My mom was a chronic worrier and I was trained from an early age to take up the cause, which I did well. When I finally began to own and complete my own feelings, my anxiety plummeted. This is the most effective way to end anxiety! We are proving this within my Women’s Unversity where students are reporting a reduction in anxiety of 50% or more!

As a parent, the more you take ownership and allow your own feelings, the more you will reduce your own anxiety levels and help your child to do the same. This will assist everyone in your family to own their own inner experience.
