In today’s episode, Barbara reads from her book, The Trichster Diaries. She shares deeper, more personal reflections on living with trichotillomania, speaking openly about self-acceptance, the importance of honesty, and the complexity of acknowledging feelings that don’t fit neatly into recovery narratives. Rather than framing this awareness as something to hide or fix, the conversation centers on compassion, truth-telling, and what it means to be actively managing trichotillomania while still engaging in the behavior.
