At the age of 10, Barbara Lally developed a disorder called trichotillomania. Trichotillomania, or “trich” for short, is a body-focused repetitive behavior (BFRB) that causes one to pull out his or her own body hair without being able to stop. This incurable disorder affects up to 2% of the total population and has been with Barbara the majority of her life. In The Trichster Diaries, Barbara takes you on her journey toward self-acceptance. The story begins through the eyes of a scared, insecure, little girl and finishes through the eyes of Barbara now, a grown woman who has worked hard to accept herself and a disorder that she cannot change. Through all of the ups and the downs, the triumphs and failures, one powerful message shines through: Self-acceptance IS attainable.
