Trichotillomania- Hair Pulling Disorder: 5 yrs. old

[Guest guest]

Dear Trish,

 

Namaste.

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Medical Background:

 

Source- Mayo Clinic for Medical Education and Research

 

This term means hair (tricho) pulling (tillo) frenzy

(mania). People with this condition repeatedly and

incessantly pull out their hair, one strand at a time,

from its roots. They most often pull hair from the

scalp, eyelashes or eyebrows. Trichotillomania can

lead to large areas of baldness (alopecia), sometimes

even complete absence of scalp hair.

 

Trichotillomania isn't an intentional or voluntary

behavior. People who have it are upset and embarrassed

by it. The urge to pull hair usually accompanies a

strong feeling of discomfort. The person believes that

the only way to relieve this feeling is by pulling his

or her hair. But this only brings temporary relief.

Most people who have this disorder go to great lengths

to hide the hair pulling as well as the effects of the

hair pulling from others, such as by wearing wigs or

makeup or avoiding social situations. They often

suffer silently and don't realize this behavior may be

due to a mental disorder. Depression is common in

people with trichotillomania. Occasionally, people

with this condition may swallow the hair they pull.

This may result in a serious medical problem called

gastric bezoar — more commonly known as a hairball —

that may require surgical removal.

 

Trichotillomania often begins in childhood or in the

teen years but may also develop later. This condition

was once thought rare. But recent studies have found

it may occur in 1 percent to 2 percent of the

population. In children, the problem affects an equal

number of boys and girls. Overall, however, females

are 5 to 10 times more likely than males to develop

trichotillomania.

 

The cause of trichotillomania isn't clear, but it can

run in families. Stress also may play a role.

Treatment usually involves a combination of

antidepressants and counseling.

 

Not all hair-pulling behavior is trichotillomania.

Hair pulling can be part of other mental disorders or

related to stress. The stress-related habit of hair

pulling usually isn't as severe as in

trichotillomania.

1. Invoke and scan before, during and after

treatment.

 

2. Compare the sizes of the front and back solar

plexuschakra, the heart and ajna chakras frontally and

sideways.

 

3. Scan the crown. Imagine dividing the crown into 4

parts and check if they are equal. Feel for uneveness

or a bulging sensation. Check also the centre of the

crown. If there is any part that bulges, work on it.

 

4. Scan the back solar plexus. Divide into 4 parts

and take note of the part(s) that is(are) bulging.

 

5. General sweeping with V or EV.

sweep each part using EV.

 

Divide the back solar plexus into 4 parts and sweep

each part with EV. Energize with EV.

 

Inhibit the over activated solar pelxus chakra by

8. Scan the front and back solar plexus chakras

sideways. Apply distributive sweeping and spread the

energy around.

 

9. Scan the heart chakra. Localized sweeping on the

front heart and back heart chakra.

 

Energize through the back heart chakra with EV going

into the heart.

 

Activate the back heart by mentally saying, " bigger,

bigger, bigger " . Flick your hand.

 

Stabilize the projected pranic energy by " painting "

the back heart chakra with LB.

Recommend:

 

1. Since the patient is a young child, introduce the

parents to the proper practice of the Meditation on

Twin Hearts and blessing. Bless the family, child,

home and school environment for a more loving and

peaceful interaction.

 

2. Encourage the family to: express caring for each

other in gentle words, set aside time to play

together, hug each other more often to give the child

a more loved, secure feeling.

 

3. Balanced healthy nutritious fresh food diet with

proper amounts of fresh water and fresh air.

 

4. Regular salt water bath or swim in sea water

during summer.

 

5. Avoid exposing the child to unecessary stress;

negative thoughts, emotions, activities and

environment.

 

Love,

 

Marilette
