behavioral therapy to reduce problematic habits like hair-pulling

Habit Reversal Training (HRT) is a behavioral therapy technique used to help individuals reduce or eliminate problematic habits, such as hair-pulling (trichotillomania) or skin-picking (dermatillomania). It involves increasing awareness of the habit, developing competing responses to replace the unwanted behavior, and implementing strategies to manage triggers and stressors.
