So, I went to Amazon.com in October and bought 2 Self Help books about Trich. One of them was 'Help For Hair Pullers' by Nancy J. Keuthen, Ph.D., Dan J. Stein, M.D., Gary A. Christenson, M.D.
I didn't really start reading it until a week or so ago and already it's really helping me. I'm learning to be more aware of my hair pulling. It has several Excercises to do. I just started doin the first one. It's basically just telling you to keep track of all the hair you pull throught the day. Keep a piece of paper and a pen with you and every time you pull a hair, mark it down. At the end of the day write the total of hairs you pulled that day. Do that for a week.
I am on day 4. On day 1, I pulled 7. On day 2, I pulled 8. On day 3, I pulled 10. So far today I've pulled only 1 hair. Normally I would pull anywhere from 5-20 hairs in just one session. So this is really working, so far.
I would def. recommend this book!
Thank you for sharing about this book. I will check it out! What is the other book?
