Everyone who suffers from trichotillomania experiences it differently, which causes treatment to vary greatly from person to person. Treatment will address the physical, psychological, and emotional aspects of trichotillomania. Whatever treatment is used, the most significant step is simply learning how to deal with the disorder. Keep in mind that this is a chronic disorder and must be coped with, and in many individuals, never completely overcome.

Here are a few coping techniques:

1. BE AWARE!

Put time into journaling and recognizing the times of why and when you are pulling. This step is crucial because many trichsters pull without even knowing it. Knowing this information can also help you make any connections to any other issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, or emotional hurt.
