12/19/10 First blog post Trichotillomania and Skinpicking Stories

Hairpulling and Skinpicking are disorders I treat.
I listen day in and day out to your stories. Yet, how many
people know about these disorders? Often they are kept secret and even family members may not know of your suffering.
How about sharing your stories? How about having a forum to
begin to talk about your experiences? Tell me how long you
have been pulling and/or picking? How did it start?
Have you ever been able to stop? What helped? 
This site is about sharing your story, giving and getting hope,
and maybe part of my dream is being able to write and share
your stories so you won't feel so alone and shamed. Perhaps
we can let it be known we can become victorious. We can
learn to support each other and thereby stop the compulsion
to pull and to pick. 
Tell me about the beginning, the middle and the present.
Share photos if you choose to. I am thankful for this opportunity to reach out to more people and to connect
more people with each other. 
I pray this project is guided by an overriding drive to 
bring out our highest good and our loftiest healing.
