This episode was recorded on May 17th, 2021. Join myself, Kathie Smigels (Zupac’s resident therapist), Jordan Zuppke (the other half of Zupac Law & Life), and Tess Garoon- the owner of Aesthetic Hair Salon in Ferndale, Michigan- for a talk about Trichotillomania.
Trich is the ‘hair pulling disorder’ that involves recurrent, irresistible urges to pull out hair. A common thread between the guests and myself... we all deal with trich to some degree. Many people struggle with body focused repetitive behaviors (more commonly known as BFRBs), including dermatillomania (the skin picking disorder).
We share our personal stories, our struggles, and the tools we use to manage ‘the monster’ that lives within us. Our hope is to shed some light on the topic, break down the stigma, and help the ones who struggle to not feel so alone... Let’s come back to love.
