Hope and inspiration for people with trichotillomania and other mysterious compulsive disorders

A personal memoir of hope and inspiration.

In this book, Gary Hennerberg takes you deep inside his mind as he shares his most intimate and private thoughts about living with the compulsive urge to pull his hair. This story reveals three approaches he has used to co-exist with trichotillomania: his faith in God, self-acceptance, and the discovery and use of his gifts and talents. As a child, Gary thought he was the only person in the world who pulled his hair. Today we know there may be 10 million or more people in the U.S. who skillfully conceal hair pulling urges and shamefully suffer in silence. This is a book of hope and inspiration for people with trichotillomania and other mysterious compulsive disorders.
