Trichstop Omdömen 

I have had trichotillomania for more than a decade, struggling to control this behaviour since the age of 16. Over the years I have tried various ways to tackle it: thinking it will go away by itself, reading blogs, reading books, buying bracelets, but all of these only gave me temporary relief as the symptoms kept coming back over and over again.

The realisation came that the roots of the problem are psychological and in order to tackle these I need dedicated support and a team of experts who would take me through a structured programme which would allow me to both explore the psychological background, explore mindfulness techniques as well as specific tools and approaches to tackle the urges.

My therapist, Lindsay, was great as she would gently prompt me to explore the role of trichotillomania for me in more depth and gain a better understanding of various options to tackle and decrease the urges.

Thank you, TrichStop Team and thanks Lindsay!

This program was such a blessing for my daughter, and for me as well. It was quite the learning process. I didn't realize how vital my role was going to be in my daughter's success to stop pulling her hair. I thought this was something she was going to do on her own, but I learned quickly that was not the case. We worked through this program together, grew closer, and celebrated achievements great and small. She hasn't pulled her hair in over two months, and I know without this life-changing program and a fantastic therapist (Thanks, Vedrana!), she wouldn't have been so successful!

My therapist was extremely kind and helpful and was ready to help always! Trichstop sessions and worksheets made me think more deeply and ultimately helped to reduce my hair pulling. I also found the webinars very interesting!

When I first started the program, I only expected to learn some ways to keep my hands out of my hair so I could get on with the rest of my life. I wasn't expecting to learn so much about myself and how much my life has been shaped by different experiences. I'm glad I did. Hair pulling has been a problem for me since I was a child, and I never understood why I did it until now. This program has helped me to repair my relationship with my hair and myself. I am grateful for stumbling upon it, and I would recommend anyone else struggling to check it out!

This program has been extremely helpful in my journey. For years, I have been battling hair pulling and skin picking. I have tried many different things, doctors, programs, psychiatrist, and none of them have been helpful. This program was systematic and helped me identify the why I do it and what I can do to decrease it. It is a personalised program. My therapist was fantastic and I felt that she really got to know me. I was hesitant at first to do therapy online but in the end, I really enjoyed this approach. I highly recommend the program!

Love this program! I’ve had Trich most of my life. There aren’t a whole lot of places that specialize in this type of counseling. So when I found TrichStop I was elated! I had recently gone through a traumatic pulling episode when I decided I’d had enough. So I did my research. I found many helpful forums and resources but TrichStop pulled all the information together in one place and tailored the program to fit my need. I took my time. I searched inside myself for answers to questions and a wonderful thing happened! TrichStop guided me through the tough questions to gain a better understanding of myself and as we dug deeper (yes, you will have to work at it) I came to understand my triggers and what steps I needed to take to interrupt the cycle . I am so grateful to have found this program and feel better prepared to face Trich on a daily basis. I’m not pull free. But I am in better control and have made amazing strides! Do the work! You will thank yourself at the end of this program!

I struggled with hair-pulling from the time I was a small child. At the time I didn't understand what was happening with me internally and neither did my parents or others around me. The Trichstop program has definitely changed my life. It is one of the best decisions I've made. I learned to become aware of the behavior and the settings and triggers that lead to the behavior. I now have the tools I need to live a life that is not dominated by hair-pulling. I have also learned so much more about myself thanks to the sessions with my therapist. I would 100% recommend the program to anyone who is seeking help with pulling-behavior. If you are dedicated to making the change and facing the things that are difficult to face, this program is going to work!

Trichstop therapy was exactly what I needed to manage my stress and anxiety and stop my hair pulling. The program was very accessible and I felt like it addressed my needs so well. Vedrana was also very helpful and supportive. Her questions and comments really helped me understand and apply the concepts into my life. I'm so grateful for this program and the change it has made in my life.

I am someone who has pulled their hair and picked their skin for the majority of my life. I have undergone different therapies with multiple therapists. Of all the different methods I have tried, TrichStop has been the most effective. The therapist was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who suffers from hair pulling, skin picking or any other type of BFRB.

I started TrichStop 2 and a half months ago and it has been such a pleasant experience. My therapist Lindsay helped me come up with a plan to reduce my hair pulling, lessen the shame and guilt I experienced after pulling, recognize my triggers, come up with coping mechanisms, etc. Since I've started TrichStop I have pulled less often and I have pulled less hair out than I used to. I still pull but when I do it isn't as severe and I can manage it better, it has also helped with my self-esteem. I've been pulling since I was about 9 or 10 and Im 22 now and I never thought it would get any easy but with TrichStop and Lindsays help it did. I highly recommend this program to somebody trying to stop hair pulling!

This program was very helpful to me. It took a while to get myself to do therapy and this was easy and super uplifting.

When i started with Trichstop i had been pulling for 9 years, it was the start of the covid-19 pandemic and my pulling was at an all-time high. I was very skeptical that this program could truly make an impact. I went slow due to the hectic season of life i'm in, thus i spent 6 months working through the program. During that time i drastically lowered my amount of pulling, changed how i view it/feel about it, and although i'm not pulling-free now, its drastically reduced, and i have more hope and self confidence then i have since i started pulling. I worked with Vladimir and he was great. If your skeptical, give it a shot. Be true to yourself and give the program a fair shot!

Just like anything in life, the more you put into something the more you'll get out of it. I was hesitant to begin this program because I have been pulling for 5 years and thought my behavior was incurable. Although my pulling hasnt completely stopped, it has stopped at least 90% and I have learned alot more about myself along the way. This program is great for anyone who is ready to make a positive impact in their own lives. The knowledge I've learning in 8 weeks is something I'll carry with me for a lifetime. Thank you to my amazing therapist Lindsay!

I have been struggling with Trichotillomania for more than 5 years, it started when I was around 12 years old. All these years, I tried to deal with it on my own. I tried to cover up the bald spots on my lashes and eyebrows, but I never attacked the problem at its source. I suddenly stopped pulling on my eyebrows after 2 years, but I could never stop pulling on my eyelashes. A few months ago, my partner and I came across Trichstop and I decided to give it a try. I was not sure about it at first because I did not like the idea that I would be doing therapy, but I ended up viewing it differently. It is a way to help myself, there is nothing wrong with it. When I started the sessions, I was super motivated and positive. I was very determined to finally stop pulling. Each of the sessions was super beneficial and made me learn so much about myself and my experience with Trichotillomania. It was amazing to always have someone who's qualified to talk to and explain what you are going through without any judgment (in my case, it was Michaela). Today, I finished the main program and I have not pulled in more than 3 months! I am super happy. At the moment, I could not always see how each session was beneficial, but week after week I started noticing that I was internalizing some of the practices that I learned about. This is when I started seeing progress. The program is truly amazing and I advise anyone to do it if they are going through something similar. I am very grateful for Trichstop. Their program is well structured and they are dedicated to helping their clients.

I've been struggling with trich since I was a teen (I'm now in my 30s) and it never crossed my mind to tackle this issue head on; I just kind of accepted it, or perhaps I was afraid of failing. Finally, this year I had the courage to face my fears and embarked on this 8 week specialized program with TrichStop. I was a bit apprehensive at first, but my therapist, Lindsay, was incredibly supportive, empathetic, and understanding. She guided me throughout the process and provided invaluable insight. Not only did I learn a lot about myself, but I also stopping being ashamed of my "bad habits" and became more comfortable talking about trich openly with people. I also realized how complex compulsive hair pulling really is, so it's great that TrichStop provides a comprehensive approach, combining cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness and even a bit of philosophy! Since completing this program, my pulling has decreased dramatically. I feel more in control of my urges and I'm just happier all around. I'm glad I decided to sign up for TrichStop, and would recommend this program to others who are in a similar situation.

I loved my TrichStop experience. My therapist, Michaela, was so kind and helpful. I loved having someone help me organize my goals, my value system, and my habits! I had a chance to talk about things I’ve never talked about with anyone and I got helpful, non-judgmental advice to redirect my attention towards the things that truly matter to me. And while I was refocusing my attention on my true goals, my eyelashes and eyebrows grew back on their own!! I’ve lived with this problem for 35 years!! And I finally feel free of it. It took me four months, but I needed that extra time to work through my feelings with Michaela’s kind coaching. I feel like I have a better understanding of who I am and how I fit into the world. I also have tools for the future that make me feel prepared. This was a very helpful experience for me and I highly recommend this program.

I have been pleasantly surprised by the Trichstop program, primarily because I got out of it so much more
than I was expecting. I came in looking for an evidence-based program for trich, and I definitely got that. While my puling hasn't altogether stopped, it's definitely at a lower frequency (on average, 5 and under hairs per day, with some days none) and the associated distress is pretty much gone. Thankfully I didn't come in
with any functional impairment (i.e., not being able to leave the house, avoiding social situations, etc) and
that hasn't changed. What I hadn't anticipated was that so much work would be around past events and
connecting those to my current emotions, thoughts, urges, and pulling behavior. It has led to me having
much needed conversations, expressing my thoughts and feelings known, and increasing my ability to meet
my needs. It's led to more crying than I've done in the past several years, and to coming into contact with
sadness, pain, hurt, and unfortunate but overdue realizations about my experience as a child (and beyond) with those who were supposed to care for and nurture me. This has also led to me feeling more connected to those around me (friends, partner) who have been supportive and have provided a safe space for me to grow emotionally.

I have been pulling my hair since I was 9 years old, I am now 35. I honestly didn't think I would ever be able to stop. I found Trichstop online, and was a little bit skeptical at first. I found the program to help me with my trich so much, from the beginning, and by the end of my 8 week program, I have nearly completely stopped pulling my hair ( few accidentally hairs within past 3 weeks ).

I feel confident and positive about continuing my work overcoming trich, and for the first time even, I actually believe it to be possible.

Lindsay, my therapist, was such a supportive and encouraging person to work with.

In starting this program back in June, I felt skeptical to be honest. I was proven wrong. The 8 week program took longer for me, as I needed it. It wasn't easy at the beginning but became easier and easier. As the weeks passed, with new techniques implemented - mindfulness in full swing - the habit was slowly stopping. I have learnt so much thanks to Vladimir, who guided me through this journey without judging. His kindness and professionalism helped me overcome it.
I would recommend this program to everyone, who is thinking of joining. I have suffered for 38 years, but am mostly free from the habit now.
What else is there to say, but to join the program it will benefit you, greatly.
Thank you to all at TrichStop, but expecially Vladimir. :)

I struggled a lot in the past, thinking that I don't need help and I don't have anyone who can understand me and help me with hair pulling. It was one of my best decisions to sign up for this program. The program itself and my therapist helped me to know myself better in so many different ways. I not only find out how to understand and manage my hair pulling episodes, but I also got a lot of support, appreciation and kind words. I can't recommend it even more! I think everybody who is struggling needs help and guidance. With this program it's possible to overcome the difficulties.
