This coming May, I will have been free of Trichotillomania for 16 years without medication, dietary changes, behavior therapy, hypnosis, supplements of any kind, or any outside intervention. After 27 long and painful years, I found the answers within myself. So can you!
People who feel that they are “different,” “crazy,” “sick, etc., have the tendency (and our society reinforces this) to continually look outside themselves to experts for “real answers.” The answers are within each of us if we only have the courage to pursue our path of self-discovery. Doctors and psychologists can guide us. However, in availing ourselves of their services we must maintain the belief that while we seek advice and support from “experts,” they can play only the role of “personal consultant.” We are the only true experts regarding our own bodies and our own minds.
We must trust our hearts enough to proceed along our own paths. If we trust our own inner knowing, we will find what we need next.

Our mission is to:
