In this episode of Trich Talks, host Barbara takes a deep dive into the history of her eyelash pulling—from how it all began after pulling her eyebrows as a child to the specific sensory triggers like "sharp" growing lashes that make it so challenging. Barbara walks listeners through her journey from ages 10 to present day, sharing the tools that have helped her along the way, including liquid eyeliner, fake lashes, and support groups.

She also gives an honest, real-time update on a recent intense pulling episode that caught her off guard for the first time in 20 years. Rather than letting shame take over, Barbara shares how she uses self-compassion, awareness, and a big-picture mindset to reassess her management strategies, offering reassurance to anyone navigating their own BFRB journey.
