TTM can never be "cured" but it can be treated with the help of a specialist, family, friends and the "trich" community. Just keeping positive and setting a goal will help every step of the way. Here are some tips to stopping:
-Clench your fists whenever the urge comes
-Recognize your "tics" so you know what situations cause the urge
-Try techniques to reduce stress, depression, and boredom
-Get family and friends (depending on comfort level) to watch out for time you subconciously pull
-Never give up, you're not alone, there are many other "trichsters" out there! :)

Currently, psychologists think that it is caused by an emotional unbalance.

Therefore, they turn to pulling for the balace that they need. Hope this helps!
