Note is a psychologist in Aarhus<\/a>, which helps with patient treatment and companies with supervision. This article is about Trichotillomania. If you need treatment, contact a psychologist at Bemerk.<\/p>\n

This behavior may be concentrated on a specific area of the body, or it may vary between several areas. Often, it involves the more accessible hair growth, such as hair from the head, eyelashes, eyebrows or beard stubble. However, trichotillomania can also involve hair pulling from the legs, underarms or pubic hair. For some, it involves randomly selected hairs, but others may specifically select hair based on, for example, thickness, shape, colour, length or the surface of the skin to which it is attached. For some, the urge to pull out hair is greatest when they become nervous or stressed. For others, the urge is difficult to resist when they need to relax in front of the television or with their phone. The pulling is typically so frequent or extensive that it results in visible patches of hair loss or other signs on the skin. It can also occur that, especially in children, it involves an impulse to pull hair from others or from one's pets.<\/p>\n

\"We<\/p>\n

What are the symptoms of trichotillomania?<\/h3>\n

Symptoms of trichotillomania are often seen together with a tendency to, for example, bite nails or excessively itch. Mental disorders such as anxiety, OCD and depression can often be seen in connection with the disorder. In general, a state of mental unrest is associated with trichotillomania. For many, hair pulling can offer an activity to focus their attention on, which provides a break from psychological discomfort (e.g. thoughts, feelings or bodily sensations.) Engaging in hair pulling can occupy the senses and attention in a way that can feel all-consuming, and which can become an escape from reality. Many experience an outlet for unpleasant emotions after pulling hair. This feeling of relief is satisfying and therefore tempting to return to.<\/p>\n

Trichotillomania is a condition in which a person is unable to control their impulses to pull out hair. This condition is related to, among others, kleptomania, gambling, pyromania and OCD.<\/p>\n

How is trichotillomania treated?<\/h3>\n

In the treatment of trichotillomania, it is important to map out the situations in which the behavior occurs. This involves an awareness of what precedes the action and what feelings and thoughts are associated with these situations. Here, one will work with the discomfort that can be registered in the body, and develop alternative ways of accommodating this discomfort. In this context, it may be relevant to draw on elements from cognitive behavioral therapy, ACT and mindfulness-based methods.<\/p>\n

In parallel, you will focus on developing the ability to consciously shift focus, and therefore gain a better overview of how your focus can move around in different areas. This is a powerful ability to master, and benefits us in dealing with psychological discomfort in general.<\/p>\n

Using the combined and tailored therapeutic methods at Bemerk, many have managed to experience significant improvement in obsessive-compulsive conditions such as trichotillomania and OCD.<\/p>\n

Bemerk er en psykolog i Aarhus<\/a>, der hj\u00e6lper med patienter behandling og virksomheder med supervision. Denne artikel handler om Trikotillomani. Har du behov for behandling, s\u00e5 kontakt en psykolog ved Bemerk.<\/p>

Denne adf\u00e6rd kan koncentrere sig om et s\u00e6rligt sted p\u00e5 kroppen, eller man kan komme til at variere mellem flere steder. Ofte er der tale om den mere tilg\u00e6ngelige h\u00e5rv\u00e6kst, som h\u00e5r fra hovedet, \u00f8jenvipper, \u00f8jenbryn eller sk\u00e6gstubber. Men trikotillomani kan ogs\u00e5 indeb\u00e6re h\u00e5rudtr\u00e6k fra l\u00e6gbeh\u00e5ring, underarmsh\u00e5r eller k\u00f8nsbeh\u00e5ring. For nogen er der tale om tilf\u00e6ldigt udvalgte h\u00e5r, men andre kan specifikt udv\u00e6lge h\u00e5r baseret p\u00e5 f.eks. tykkelse, form, farve, l\u00e6ngde eller hudoverfladen det er forbundet til. For nogen er trangen til at tr\u00e6kke h\u00e5r ud st\u00f8rst n\u00e5r de bliver nerv\u00f8se eller stressede. For andre er trangen sv\u00e6r at modst\u00e5 n\u00e5r de skal slappe af foran fjernsynet eller med sin telefon. Plukningen er typisk s\u00e5 hyppig eller omfattende at den resulterer i synlige pletter med h\u00e5rtab eller andre tegn p\u00e5 huden. Det kan ogs\u00e5 forekomme at der, s\u00e6rligt hos b\u00f8rn, handler om en impuls til at plukke h\u00e5r fra andre eller fra ens k\u00e6ledyr.<\/p>

\"Vi<\/p>

Hvad kommer det af?<\/h3>

Man ser ofte symptomer p\u00e5 trikotillomani sammen med en tendens til at f.eks. bide negle eller overdrevet kl\u00f8en. Psykiske lidelser som angst, OCD og depression kan ofte ses i forbindelse med lidelsen. Generelt er en tilstand af psykisk uro associeret med trikotillomani. Plukning af h\u00e5r kan for mange byde p\u00e5 en aktivitet at fokusere sin opm\u00e6rksomhed p\u00e5, som giver pause fra et psykisk ubehag (f.eks. tanker, f\u00f8lelser eller kropslige fornemmelser.) At give sig i kast med h\u00e5rplukning kan optage sanserne og opm\u00e6rksomheden p\u00e5 en m\u00e5de som kan f\u00f8les altopslugende, og som kan blive en virkelighedsflugt. Mange oplever et udl\u00f8b for ubehagelige f\u00f8lelser efter at have plukket h\u00e5r. Denne f\u00f8lelse af lettelse er tilfredsstillende og derfor fristende at vende tilbage til.<\/p>

Trikotillomani er en tilstand hvor man er ude af stand til at kontrollere sine impulser til at plukke h\u00e5r ud. Denne tilstand er besl\u00e6gtet med bl.a. kleptomani, ludomani, pyromani og OCD.<\/p>

Hvordan behandler man trikotillomani?<\/h3>

I behandlingen af trikotillomani er det vigtigt at kortl\u00e6gge hvilke situationer adf\u00e6rden opst\u00e5r i. Dette indeb\u00e6rer en bevidsthed omkring hvad der g\u00e5r forud for handlingen og hvilke f\u00f8lelser og tanker der er forbundet med disse situationer. Man vil her arbejde med det ubehag man kan registrere i kroppen, og udvikle alternative m\u00e5der at rumme dette ubehag. I denne sammenh\u00e6ng kan det v\u00e6re relevant at tr\u00e6kke p\u00e5 elementer fra kognitiv adf\u00e6rdsterapi, ACT og mindfulnessbaserede metoder.<\/p>

Parallelt vil man have fokus p\u00e5 at udvikle evnen til bevidst at flytte fokus, og derfor f\u00e5 bedre overblik over hvordan ens fokus kan bev\u00e6ge sig rundt i forskellige omr\u00e5der. Dette er en kraftfuld evne at mestre, og gavner os i h\u00e5ndteringen af psykisk ubehag generelt.<\/p>

Ved hj\u00e6lp af de kombinerede og skr\u00e6ddersyede terapeutiske metoder hos Bemerk, har det lykkedes mange at opleve en markant bedring i tvangspr\u00e6gede tilstande som bl.a. trikotillomani og OCD.<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1344","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-viden"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nBehandling af trikotillomani | Book tid til behandling hos Psykolog | Bemerk<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Bemerk er en psykolog i Aarhus, der hj\u00e6lper med behandling og Supervision.
