https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/atrichsterstricksneverend/My life with Trichotillomania, a hair-pulling disorder that I've had since I was 12 years old and in sixth grade.hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/atrichsterstricksneverend/687890With all the information I've been gathering about hypnosis, I have decided I want to be a certified hypnosist, as I could help A LOT of people, with or without their knowledge. I want to have a business with massage therapy, Reiki/energy healing and other therapies that will help others take...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/atrichsterstricksneverend/683099During my 8-10 hour drive home for leave, I'm listening to my hypnosis CDs. Maybe some good ideas will come to me during that long drive while I listen to those CDs. Maybe I'll find some understanding. It should be a good drive. I'll be on the road Tuesday.https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/atrichsterstricksneverend/682885There's been too much going on to really work on putting together a plan to stop pulling. When things settle down, a plan will come.https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/atrichsterstricksneverend/681720Here's the happy deal, folks: I came across a wonderful answered prayer the other night called power of suggestion, which is pretty much self-hypnosis. It comes in the form of audio [I found my source on the internet] that you usually listen to while relaxing or sleeping. I found one that helps...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/atrichsterstricksneverend/681505Dear Loyal Readers: I haven't been on here in well over a year, and I decided I want to start writing again. I miss it like crazy. Lots of things have changed, which I will get to in later entries on other blogs I've started as well, in addition to here [in case you don't read the other ones]. As...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/atrichsterstricksneverend/629676So over the past month or so I've put facts together and come up with a solution for this picking/pulling problem. The solution? Hypnosis. There's a program called 7th Path [you can research it online] that is basically a virus-removal system for the mind, body, and spirit, and I'm going to use...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/atrichsterstricksneverend/625676It's NOTHING like taking a hiatus from myspace. It's much harder. With myspace, you can keep yourself from signing on [just don't make it your homepage; I had three close calls that way - all I had to do is put in my password and I was in; thankfully I resisted]. But picking and plucking I've...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/atrichsterstricksneverend/625308...To challenge myself to a no-pick, no-pluck, 45-day hiatus like I did with Myspace [105 days] so I can kick these habits. Instead of plucking or picking, I'll do positive things to distract my hands; I'll meditate to distract my mind. I've picked and plucked for way too long, and I'm over it....https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/atrichsterstricksneverend/623029Over the past twenty-four hours, I made a major breakthrough in the path to healing. I’ve figured out a big part of what lead me to where I am today, and now I have a lot of work to do. The first step of taking care of a problem is acknowledging that you have a problem. Okay. I did that. I know...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/atrichsterstricksneverend/622924I stumbled across a book today about self-injury, and it draws a line between self-injury and childhood trauma. That hit a nerve - I was bullied in school, starting in second grade, then again in fifth, sixth, ninth, and tenth grades. All those years I experienced verbal, physical and emotional...
