In this episode of Trich Talks, Barbara reads from The Trichster Diaries and reflects on the different places and situations that used to trigger her hair pulling. From the car to the bathroom to post-dance recitals, she shares the environments that sparked the urge and the compulsive need to check the mirror after each pull.

Barbara explores the cycle of pulling → checking → shame, and the emotional weight it carries. This episode offers an honest look at how triggers can appear in everyday life and how awareness and self-compassion can help break the cycle.
