HRT teaches you that there’s a reason you feel compelled to pick your skin (called excoriation disorder) or pull your hair (called trichotillomania), and once we understand that reason, we teach you competing responses that compare to the sensation or reason why you pick or pull in the first place. Combined with relaxation training, your brain learns to no longer rely on these behaviours.
Knowing you “shouldn’t” pick or pull,but unable to stop the constant worry, you’re at odds with yourself all the time, and it’s exhausting.
You want to live a life free from the torment of picking your skin and pulling your hair!
When our clients confront the reason behind these behaviours, they describe a sense of relief, but not in the same way as picking or pulling provides a sense of relief. The sense of relief from HRT is long-lasting, with an understanding that no matter what life throws at you, you’ve got the skills to handle it. You reclaim control over your life, and the ability to make decisions and choices free from the need to engage in pulling or picking.
HRT can help you feel hopeful about the future. Your life becomes yours again: Return to work, go back to school, and travel the world without the shackles of BFRBs.
