Trichotillomania Hypnotherapy Gold Coast
If you can relate to any of the above scenarios, you may be suffering with trichotillomania. Trichotillomania involves the pulling of one’s own hair, in a compulsive manner, and can lead to a range of other issues. Hypnotherapy is the most effective treatment for trichotillomania, and has an incredibly high success rate. It has helped many people to recover and start living the life they deserve.
The causes for trichotillomania are varied, however the condition generally stems from an underlying anxiety which has gone untreated. Often, those who suffer with the condition will hide it from family, friends and colleagues until it becomes too severe to conceal. If not treated effectively, and in time, it can leave sufferers with permanent hair loss.
