Reading from The Trichster Diaries: Busy Bead—It Can't Be

In the latest episode of Trich Talks, Barbara Lally continues reading from her memoir, The Trichster Diaries, sharing her experience with trichotillomania spreading to different areas of her body. What started in one spot didn’t stay there, and as it moved, so did her fear and frustration. She opens up about the anxiety of losing control, the challenges of adapting, and the coping strategies that have helped her along the way. For those who have felt scared or overwhelmed by their BFRB shifting or growing, this episode offers reassurance and insight into this often-overlooked part of the journey.
