Cognitive Therapy for Trichotemnomania

Cognitive Therapy for Trichotemnomania

Trichotemnomania, also known as hair-pulling disorder, can be treated effectively with cognitive therapy. This therapy helps individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to the compulsive hair-pulling behavior.

Cognitive therapy for trichotemnomania focuses on changing beliefs and behaviors that trigger the urge to pull out hair. By learning to recognize and modify these patterns, individuals can gain better control over their impulses and ultimately reduce or eliminate the behavior altogether.
