Trichotillomania, a disorder characterized by the compulsive urge to pull out one’s hair, including eyebrows, often emerges in childhood. This behavior can lead to noticeable hair loss and significant distress. Hypnosis has been explored as a therapeutic approach for this condition. It involves guiding the child into a relaxed state to enhance focus and suggestibility. Through hypnosis, therapists can help children gain control over their impulses by suggesting alternative behaviors and reinforcing positive self-image.
