  When It’s Personal: Talking Honestly About Hair Pulling & Skin Picking

  Jul 23, 20261h 16m

  In this conversation, Meryl and Laura come together to talk openly about hair pulling and skin picking from different, deeply personal perspectives. Meryl shares her experience as a counsellor and Chief Community Officer at TrichStop, as well as a parent of children who live with hair pulling and skin picking. Laura brings her voice as a TrichStop therapist who also lives with trichotillomania herself. Together, they reflect on what it’s like to support, treat, and live with these conditions. This session isn’t about techniques or “fixing” behaviour. It’s about understanding, compassion, and the realities that don’t always make it into clinical explanations. A space for honesty, connection, and feeling less alone.

These moments can feel confusing, frustrating, and deeply upsetting. In this webinar, using research and lived experience, we’ll explore the science behind these “pulling trances,” why they happen, and how dissociation and focused attention play a role.
