Trich Talks!

Trich Talks: The Podcast is an insightful and empowering show hosted by Barbara Lally, dedicated to raising awareness and fostering conversations about body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), such as trichotillomania (hair-pulling), dermatillomania (skin picking), and onychophagia (nail biting). Through personal stories, expert interviews, and thoughtful discussions, Barbara provides support, education, and resources for those affected by these behaviors, as well as their families and friends. The podcast explores the psychological, emotional, and physical aspects of BFRBs, offering a safe space for listeners to connect, learn, and find healing. With a focus on breaking the stigma surrounding these often-misunderstood conditions, Trich Talks is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand or manage BFRBs, helping listeners on their journey toward self-acceptance and recovery.
