Book Description
Trichotillomania (TTM) is a complex disorder that has long been considered difficult to treat as few effective therapeutic options exist. The empirically-supported treatment approach described in this innovative guide blends traditional behavior therapy elements of habit reversal training and stimulus control techniques with the more contemporary behavioral elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). With this breakthrough approach, clients learn to be aware of their pulling and warning signals, use self-management strategies for stopping and preventing pulling, stop fighting against their pulling-related urges and thoughts, and work toward increasing their quality of life.

Book Description
"Trichotillomania (TTM) is a disorder of secrecy and shame. Many with the problem do not know it has a name, and many who know what they have, cannot find knowledgeable providers. Research on the etiology, maintenance, and treatment of TTM has grown dramatically since this program was first published. Still, our understanding of this complicated disorder remains incomplete, and few effective therapeutic options exist. Behavior therapy still maintains the strongest empirical support (Farhat et al., 2020 ), having reliably outperformed medications in head-to-head, albeit small, efficacy trials. Unfortunately, the number of mental health providers familiar with TTM and its treatment remains limited. This therapist guide and client workbook were written as tools for therapists to become familiar with an effective treatment for TTM"--

“The definitive guide for those who pick or pull.” —Reid Wilson, PhD, author Stopping the Noise in Your Head A comprehensive treatment plan grounded in evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you overcome body-focused repetitive behaviors for good! If you have body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRB) such as hair pulling (trichotillomania) or skin picking (dermatillomania), you may feel embarrassed about seeking help. But there are proven-effective strategies you can use to overcome these behaviors and improve your overall quality of life—this book will show you how. In this evidence-based resource, three renowned experts and clinicians offer powerful CBT skills to help you move past BFRB. You’ll learn why you engage in these behaviors, and how to identify your own sensory “triggers”—places, things, or experiences that cause your behavior to become worse. Finally, you’ll learn strategies to use when faced with these triggers, and develop your own customized “plan of action” for moving beyond BFRB for good. With time, practice, and solid skills for managing stress, anxiety, urges, and other triggers, this book will help you break free from BFRB and feel more in control of your life.
