Stop the Pull

Episode #2

The Beginning

Updated: 1 day ago

When my hair pulling disorder started I was in the fourth grade. I can’t believe I am still dealing with this over 20 years later. I will not be dealing with this for much longer and neither will you IF you only believe. 

In this week’s episode, I talk about what triggered the beginning of my hair pulling disorder. If you are on this journey with me you have a beginning point too, whether you remember it or not. It all started early for me..the 4th or 5th grade to be exact. 

“ That was the first time I ever really remember feeling so embarrassed and being exposed in that way...”

I remember the first time I crossed paths with someone who had trichotillomania. Little did I know within seconds it was going to be passed to me like a virus that had no expiration or cure. I only recently started to recall, in vivid detail, how my hair pulling disorder formed from such a young age up until now. This disorder or disease (whatever you want to call it) is nothing but a spirit from the depths of hell sent to hurt us… but God wants us to know we can rely on him to get rid of it for good. Read Mark 5 5:-9 NIV in the Bible. This is nothing new to God. There is a devil in a man in that verse. He tortured that man causing him to cut himself. This hair pulling bully is related to or is the same one.

Episode #1

Updated: 1 day ago

How a church conference set the stage for a unique encounter with God. I was given an instruction that will reveal nothing but the truth to you and I in time.

If you are anything like me you’ve had enough courage at this point to start researching what a hair pulling disorder is, the side-effects, treatment options, symptoms, etc. You've looked into blogs to see who's talking about it, even found the scientific word for it- Trichotillomania. Something led you to this series and I hope you subscribe. If you take this journey with me, one day I believe we will be set free, no pills, no piece of technology that buzzes on our arms, no drugs, no broken promises from Doctors and the healthcare system. By faith we will be set free.

Episode #1

“It was like my heart knew before my mind that I was going to receive a word from God… And I did.”

A few months ago [October 2023] I went to a Church Conference in a state I’d never been to before. The last day I was the there the Lead Pastor said to the audience “if you walk away from this conference and don't have an encounter with God it’s your fault”. I know that sounds harsh, I think he's actually really nice, but he was right. If we don’t open our hearts, speaking out loud (or in writing) directly to God not only about our problems but worshipping and praying, then we can block our own blessings in this life. I chose to believe I would receive a word from God before I left that conference and I did. I had NO clue what I was going to receive - let alone that I would be exposing this dark secret I’ve held on to almost my entire life... my hair pulling disorder.

Many prayers and miracles have been answered throughout my life, but I still kept pulling and deep down I didn't think it would ever change. I never saw the end of this disease until now. The Holy Spirit told me to start this podcast and through it I will be delivered and anyone who joins in, he, my God, the Alpha and Omega, name above all names, will deliver them too. Even if you're not a believer, God says,“Try me in doses and I will heal you."

I want to hear from you!
