Why Do You Pull Out Your Hair?
· Trichotillomania sufferers have developed what psychologists call "secondary gain." You unconsciously have a secondary gain for pulling out your hair. Some female sufferers even do it to sabotage their success with men because they do not like being hit on by the opposite sex.
· What you must realize is that absolutely everything you do is out of a need to gain pleasure and avoid pain.
· You're brain is wired to do this. It is your basic survival instincts to move towards pleasure and move away from pain.
· Your brain always has a positive intent...even if it is pulling out your hair.
· You might be saying big deal...who cares if I associate or "condition" my brain to unconsciously link in my nervous system pain to hair pulling and pleasure to not pulling.
Why Is Trichotillomania Sometimes Passed
Down In Families?
· The reason trichotillomania is often seen in more than one member of a family is because emotions are contagious among anyone you spend your time around. Parents often pass on their most common emotional patterns to other family members...thus creating anxiety. And the worst part is the anxiety "coping" strategy of hair pulling is also adopted by other members of the family either consciously or unconsciously.
