Urges:  A New Book for People with Trichotillomania

Urges is a book of hope and inspiration for people with trichotillomania and other mysterious disorders. In this book, Gary Hennerberg shares three approaches he has used to co-exist with trichotillomania: his faith, self-acceptance, and discovering his gifts and talents. Using stories of his childhood while growing up on farms near the Nebraska and Kansas borders, he shares life lessons that have enabled him to cope and accept hair pulling. The book weaves stories of lessons learned while in 4-H, family life on a farm, and ultimately how he accepted himself and decided to go public with his story when he stopped covering his bald spots with a hairpiece and decided to shave his head. His book is available at www.Manage-Trich-Urges.com.

 

 

 

 

Trichotillomania

Help for Trichotillomania and Skin Picking.

 

Trichotillomania is a devastating disorder that affects everyone, not just the puller. Trichotillomania, or trich for short, affects the puller, the family and loved ones of the puller.

If you read my biography on My Story , you will learn about my journey healing from Trichotillomania. My journey was a long one, stretching over several years.

 

The good news is: your journey need not be as long!

 

I have learned much about how to help children and adults stop pulling their hair and picking their nails and skin. Using a combination of approaches  including counseling, cognitive behavior therapy, awareness training, sensory integration, relaxation, energy psychology and meditation many people experience tremendous relief.

I am a licensed professional counselor who has experienced trich from all sides. Personally, as I suffered from it, and professionally by helping individuals and families heal from trich since 1994.

 

I was  a founding Board Member of the Trichotillomania Learning Center, the national nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of lives of those struggling with trichotillomania and related problems. My passion matches the national TLC’s mission, which is to discover effective treatments to end the emotional pain, isolation and physical disfigurement caused by this disorder.

Tapas Acupressure Technique

makes me feel like it's ok to have urges to pull

but also reminds me that I'm in control of the situation.

 

It makes me feel free of the guilt and along with that, it eventually makes me feel free of the urge.

 

Overcoming trich requires more than taking it day by day or even minute by minute;

I had to take it moment by moment.
