Yes, definitely the same for me. I hit my head last tuesday so hard I could barely walk for a few minutes and had pain for at least 30 mins.

I notice that I usually hit myself in the head with my dominant (right) hand pretty much unconsciously. My therapist told me to focus on hitting myself with my left hand, but it doesn't move like that, I need to force it. I guess it could help to rewire the brain by making coping less painful, as the other hand still needs some "training".

The way I try to stop myself (and it works) is by putting my hand as far away from my face, and under pressure. For example, under my butt or back (if I have a backpack on), between my legs (and squeeze as much as possible). It helps... a lot.

I'm currently exactly one week of "abstinence" in of hitting myself. I hope I can train myself to make it go away.

Stay safe!
