The healing effect of a shower
Today I was close to fall in to an urge in the couch, I started noticing the rough texture on some hairs, and my mind confuse pulling with grooming (+ it's muscle memory that my hands wander up there whenever I'm not entirely present)
But then I realized I just needed to take care of my hair the proper way. So I took it to the shower. I then let it naturally dry as I find the wet feeling soothing and I don't get any urge to pull wet hair. Other ways is hair oils /leave in treatments, or just some water on top of my head from the tap water.
It's something small but effective.
