#031 Trichotillomania Hair Pulling


Listen Later

Today's episode is all about Trichotillomania which is a mental health disorder characterized by recurrent hair pulling. I see a LOT of kids with this symptom. Not necessarily ones who have received an official trichotillomania diagnosis, but certainly many who have pervasive hair pulling.

This disorder falls under the anxiety umbrella and is often associated with a retained Moro reflex and an highly immature and over-sensitive stress response. Check out this episode to learn more about this disorder and how to support children with it!
