Healing from Hair Pulling was created by women for women who are also living with trichotillomania. We invite you to use our assessment tool to evaluate your symptoms and browse our free education & encouragement resources.

Our guided self-help course helps you better understand this chronic medical condition, along with factors that cause flare ups, plus ways you can find healing support.

Don't forget to sign up for our free HFHP e-magazine! Each month, we share practical advice from savvy women who get it, because we are healing from chronic hair pulling too.

Learn about the causes, symptoms, and triggers of hair-pulling, along with evidence-based approaches to managing it. Our easy-to-follow guides empower women with TTM to build self-awareness and take control of their medical condition for a healthier, more confident life.

Did you know more than one type of trichotillomania exists? Take a moment to check your symptoms using our quick and easy quiz.

We'll send you the results in an email format that you can share with loved ones, or your doctor, if you choose to do so.

Our peer-led community offers a safe, private space for women with trichotillomania to connect. When you complete our course, you'll be invited to join our private forum for compassionate guidance and practical tools to help manage symptoms while uplifting your emotional health.

Discover effective ways to lessen hair-pulling urges with HFHP's personalized strategies. Explore practical tips, lifestyle changes, and self-care techniques that are designed to lessen TTM
flare-ups. Our holistic approach empowers you to improve well-being on your journey to healing.
