Habit Reversal Treatment for Trichotillomania

Habit Reversal Training (HRT) is considered the most effective evidence-based treatment for trichotillomania. This approach works by helping you identify triggers, build awareness, and replace pulling with healthier responses.*

Before Therapy Starts

Starting therapy is a big step - and finding the right therapist can take time. In the meantime, SoloUno gives you a way to start right now: build awareness, resist pulling on a daily basis, track it when it happens, and uncover your patterns - so you're already making progress before your first session and arrive with real data your therapist can use from day one.

During Therapy

Once therapy starts, use SoloUno to do your homework between sessions - track pulling and urges, keep notes, and analyze your top triggers so you know exactly what to work on. Maximize every session by bringing real data and insights from your daily life straight to your therapist.

Once Therapy Ends

Once therapy ends and you've learned your habit patterns and practiced the exercises that help you reduce or stop hair pulling - SoloUno helps you keep going. Continue practicing what worked, maintain the progress you've made, and solidify the new habits you've built for the long run.

Log Your Hair Pulling

Log every hair pulling episode as it happens. Capture the situation, emotion, urge level, notes, and pull count. Over time, the app helps you uncover your patterns. The simple act of opening the app to log can itself help interrupt the automatic cycle.

Trigger Analysis

Uncover your top triggers - the situations and emotions that drive your hair pulling most. For most people, the majority of pulling happens in just a handful of recurring moments. Once you know yours, you can start making small changes that have a big impact.

Urge Sessions

This is a short mindfulness practice that guides you to turn your attention toward the urge to pull rather than away from it - embracing it, noticing it, and focusing on your breathing. The idea is that by practicing over time, the automatic connection between the urge and the pulling starts to loosen.

I've tried to stop my BFRB habit many times and it didn't really work.. Why should I try SoloUno?

Most habit apps assume you can just stop. With BFRBs, it's rarely that simple.

We know this from personal experience, and it's why SoloUno isn't built around quitting cold turkey - it's built around creating habit-free periods when you can, and reducing the habit as much as possible the rest of the time. The goal is small, daily wins that make the process feel manageable, motivating, and even rewarding.

Can the app be used for any habit or addiction?

While SoloUno was built with BFRBs in mind, it can be used for any negative behavior or habit you want to change. That said, the app does not constitute medical advice and is not a substitute for professional treatment. For any health-related condition or addiction, we recommend consulting a qualified healthcare professional.

Can other users see my habit?

No.

Your habit will not be visible to other users.

If you'd prefer not to name it at all, you can also choose to keep it private during signup.

I'm already in therapy, can I use the app alongside it?

Yes.

SoloUno was built to support the kind of daily practice that CBT and HRT therapy rely on: tracking your habit, logging triggers, and building awareness between sessions. Over time, the app analyzes your habit patterns and helps you uncover your most common triggers, situations, and emotions — giving you rich, real data to bring into your therapy sessions and discuss with your therapist.

Is SoloUno still useful after therapy ends?

SoloUno was built to support the kind of daily practice that CBT and HRT therapy rely on: tracking your habit, logging triggers, and building awareness between sessions. So whether you're currently in therapy or have finished, the app enables you to keep practicing and maintain your progress.

Is SoloUno available on both mobile and desktop?

Yes.

SoloUno is available on both mobile and desktop. Simply go to app.solouno.io and log in to your account. Using the web version is especially handy when you're at work or school and your computer is already in front of you.
