My approach to Trichotillomania
The first and most important elements for me are to (re)inspire and (re)build your HOPE and SELF-CONFIDENCE. Once you begin to feel and experience you can resist a hair-pulling urge, or that the urges are fewer and less intense, your confidence and hope grow, and you are on an upward spiral. My approach is centred not on helping you stop. It's about giving you the hope, confidence and tools to STAY STOPPED. I work using a combination of : -CBT -Habit reversal -Positive hypnosis -Relaxation techniques -Mindfulness These are all tried and trusted techniques that, when used together, provide a powerful toolbox that you can draw from. Maybe the best people to talk about my approach are my clients. On my website, there are a few videos and below are a couple of testimonials. Michelle Collins (USA) Morag’s program is work, it’s not magic. But that’s okay because she teaches YOU how to think about your thoughts, your actions and ultimately how to reach your specific BFRB goals. Once you learn how to care for yourself you will never need to be lost, again, in a storm of out-of-control behavior. Beck Bloom (UK) Morag will show you the way if you are prepared to put the work in. I found her to have a rare understanding of the mindset of someone with Trich and thank her for creating the programme, it really is life changing.
About me
Hi and thanks for reading this! I'm Morag a cognitive behavioural hypnotherapist, which means I combine CBT techniques with hypnosis. I've been working with clients to help them overcome/manage their pulling over the last 6 years. It's my main therapeutic speciality, alongside skin-picking. I have gained a wealth of experience and knowledge over this time with what can help you to reduce/stop pulling. I know that starting therapy is an important step for you. You may never have had therapy for hair-pulling, or on the contrary, you might have already tried everything under the sun. I offer a free initial chat either on zoom or over the phone, which can help you decide if I am the right therapist for you. You can ask all your questions about what I do and how I work. You can book this either on my website or just give me a call. You can overcome this!
