This Changed My Life!

I read Cheryn's book when I first discovered I was not the only one (about 2 years ago). It was so comforting to hear her personal struggle with trichotillomania, and I was amazed by how much of it paralleled my own life. I experienced the full range of emotions while reading-- from laughing out loud to sobbing. Knowing that I was not alone gave me the courage to go seek (and find!) the help I needed. Cheryn truly helped me to change my life. I recently had the honor of meeting her in person; she's absolutely one of the most amazing women ever!

If you have trich, read this book

If you or someone you know suffers with trichotillomania, this book offers very helpful insights from a personal sufferer. I know this firsthand as I also have trich. While reading Cheryn's accounts of her struggles with this condition, I felt like I had found a long-lost friend, as I shared so many of the same emotional and social snags associated with it. But more than a simple account of growing up with a very trying and persistant handicap, Cheryn invites the reader to accept the condition for what it can bring sufferers in a positive light. As she explains, for those who have trich, the challenge of continually learning to accept oneself as a whole person is magnified, but this can lead to some wonderful opportunities to grow in ways that only other sufferers can know. And this leads to the most rewarding aspect -- that of being able to share your feelings and experiences with others like you. Because as Cheryn succinctly puts it, "You are not alone."

Must have for trichotillomania sufferers!

I bought this book a couple of years ago and it immediately gave me hope and success with my lash/brow pulling; Cheryn and I talked via email many times and she is a wonderful, caring person and it helps to have someone to talk with about this disorder. The book is a MUST for anyone suffering from trichotillomania. I cannot understand why anyone would give the book less than five stars. Buy it, read it, and read it again and again when you pull again and again.

A must read for anybody who suffers from trichotillomania

This is the first book I read on the subject of trichotillomania, and I felt as if Cheryn were talking to me personally. I cried tears of relief to know that others had this disorder, and that they shared so much in common with me. Trichotillomania is a disorder of isoaltion and secrecy. That is almost worst than the hair pulling itself. This book truly helped me to understand that I was not alone, and to know that others felt the same way and had gone through many of the same things. Cheryn is personable, sincere, compassionate and loving, and this book will reach out and touch any body who reads it.

The greatest book I ever read

I only found out a couple of years ago that trichotillomania is not really a rare disorder.....I have had it for 34 years. I read Cheryn's book and I have to admit that upon reading the poem on the first page, I cried so much I couldn't read the rest of the book until the next day. It was so incredible to find out others shared my secret and Cheryn did a wonderful job of putting it into words, which must have been really hard, since none of us want to talk about it. I also think it's a great book for anyone to read because Cheryn is an inspiration!
