One suggestion you might attempt to develop, would be that "from now on, no matter where you go, no matter what you are doing, if your hand/s start to move towards your eyes, you will immediately become aware of what you are doing and will be able to stop before you do any damage whatsoever."

Treat it like any other self mutilation, nail biting, cutting etc. increase self esteem and and reduce their stress, love themselves again, this does work..Art Long C.Ht, Traditional Doctor

This subject I know well...I had a teen-ager that puled her hair not the lashes.
It was a challenging case for me but, I helped hwe stop temporary and then
with some mpore sessions she continued and completely stopped...

I did parts therapy on her and that made a big difference along with regression
techniques since it was from her childhood.

Hope this helps....
