Studies have shown that a reinforced behaviour is only intensified the more you engage in it.
Psychotherapists have seen, and acknowledged, that although the fight against urges may be difficult, each overcoming is a big step.
The less a trichster pulls, the less urges they have to pull. That is why when we have an episode, it's not just a few hairs, but it's either all the new hairs or an entire preferred area. (This also applies to skin picking.)
