I am sooo glad there is a Paige for this! I've pulled my hair since I was in grade 2 and have had such a struggle with it ever since! I have never known anyone else that has had this and it has been such a big mystery in my life for so long! It is very hard to find people to talk to that understand. I've been to many many different therapists and have tried sooo many different strategies. It's been nearly 14 years and I've finally almost completely stopped. I've found what helps the most in overcoming trich is talking about it as a completely different object. It's not "mine" and it never will have control over my life and who I am. Talk and think about it as something you are overcoming rather than suffering with. It did a world of a difference for me
