Cognitive Therapy for Trichotillomania

Cognitive Therapy for Trichotillomania

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for trichotillomania, a disorder characterized by hair pulling. CBT helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors associated with hair pulling.

By challenging these thoughts and learning healthier coping mechanisms, individuals can reduce or stop hair pulling behavior. CBT also helps address underlying issues that may contribute to trichotillomania, such as anxiety or stress.
