Unraveling Anxiety: The Hidden Causes of Hair-Pulling
As more of the mental health community and the general population wake up to this understanding of how our minds really work, I hope people will see that over The Past Few Decades we have innocently given away too much of our own personal power to understand our minds to psychologists, psychiatrists, medics and those who work in medical establishments.
Ever wondered why some people pull their hair out when they're stressed? In this episode of The Unashamedly Human Podcast, Jacquie Forde dives into the world of chronic thinking issues and their impact on mental health. She shares the poignant story of her client Mary, who struggled with trichotillomania—a compulsive hair-pulling disorder. Mary's journey is a powerful illustration of how our thoughts can drive us to harmful behaviors and how understanding these thoughts can help us regain control.
Jacquie explains that impulses, although seemingly overpowering, are actually harmless and temporary. Through her sessions with Mary, Jacquie demonstrates how a deeper comprehension of our mind's nature can lead to significant relief and personal empowerment. This episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with anxiety, compulsive behaviors, or simply seeking a clearer understanding of their own mind.
