I started pulling when I was 7 years old. I was never able to do the whole “clunch your fists and wait 20 seconds thing”- I needed something specific to do. I found that, whenever I had an urge to pull that there was ALWAYS (for me, anyway) a feeling behind it. When I was able to focus and figure out what feeling I was denying and acknowledge it the urge to pull WENT AWAY. After awhile, I would just have the feelings instead of the urge to pull. I’m not 100% pull-free yet, but I am 98% pull-free (also hat and make-up free went I want) and getting better all the time.
Keep up the great work Christina!

And when I began to share about more and more of my personal experience, my life began to change for the better. Wasn’t easy, but sure worth it! Love C

This site gives me a lot of hope. I’ve kept a blog for a little over two years to keep in touch with friends, but I’ve never written about hair-pulling. Until today. It feels like a BIG step and I wanted to tell someone who understands, and maybe find some other folks online who can relate. Thank you for your work, for all of us.
