Trichotillomania (Compulsive Hair Pulling) Hypnosis Script

The noticeable bald patches can generate an additional layer of emotion; a fear of being caught, and the shame of being unable to stop. Some people describe the compulsive hair-pulling as a self-soothing behavior comparable to thumb-sucking.

Although there are still questions, it is, for the moment, defined as an impulse-control disorder. An estimated two per cent of Americans struggle with this urge to pluck their hair. The urge is not simply a habit or learned behavior, but is experienced as an urge more akin to a yawn or sneeze that emerges from the subconscious.

This disorder most frequently emerges in the early adolescent years, around the age of twelve. Researchers suggest that of those with trichotillomania, 90 per cent are women.

But this may only indicate that women are more likely to seek treatment. Some experts note that 50 to 70 per cent of people who pull out their hair bite or chew the root of, or examine, the hair.

Disguising the Signs of Hair Pulling

Symptoms of trichotillomania can range widely. Each individual is unique in their severity, the location on the body, and their response to treatment.

The unifying factor is many people with TTM will go to great lengths to disguise their behavior. This includes changing hairstyles, using scarves or camouflage clothing, or makeup to hide bald patches or skin irritation.

The tenacity of this disorder is also subjective. At times, some people can reduce their urge to pull by focusing their awareness on it. For other people, or at other times, the urge to pull may be so urgent that normal functioning becomes nearly impossible.

Hypnosis and Hair Pulling: The Research

A 2004 article in the Journal of Counseling and Development states that "hypnotherapy has been effective in treating habit disorders, such as tics and thumb sucking, as well as trichotillomania". During hypnosis, clients can significantly increase their awareness of the urge to pull their own hair.

Two small studies also reported moderate success in treating trichotillomania with hypnotherapy.
