Trichotillomania is the irresistible urge to pull out the hair on one's face, head, or body. While trichotillomania, commonly referred to as "trich," is most common in teens and young adults, it can affect people at any age. Trich can take a major toll on family and social life, as well as on one's work and academic achievement. Those with trichotillomania often struggle to find help for their hair pulling, as mental health practitioners trained in its treatment are rare.
Less Pulling, More Living: ACT-Enhanced Behavior Therapy for Trichotillomania will teach readers how to resist pulling, how to better respond to urges, and how to effectively manage the emotional challenges associated with this disorder. The tips and strategies taught in this book are based on Acceptance-Enhanced Behavior Therapy (A-EBT) for trichotillomania. A-EBT is based on years of scientific research by experts on how to best treat hair pulling in adults. Since hair pulling can have a tremendously negative impact on quality of life, this book offers more than just tips on stopping--it will also enable readers to reconnect with important relationships, hobbies, and values that pulling may have impeded.
