Book! Shrink! Helping????

Help For Hair Pullers is the name of the book.
Go and buy it. They have it on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
It's a great book. Really enlightening. Might not help stop pulling, but at least you won't feel so bad about it.

Tips from shrink:
I've been pretty bummed lately for a few reasons, so I've been doing quite shitty at my techniques.
He suggests muscle tensing. It's hard to explain, but I haven't really done it anyway.
Logging helps, but yesterday, I pulled like, 24 times at work. Horrible!
Having supportive people around is a big plus.
My boyfriend gently says my name if he sees me messing with my hair and I have him ask me everyday how I "did" which is code for "did you pull?"
Time will tell.

I'm seeing a shrink!

So, I started seeing a psychologist that specializes in trich.
Rad rad rad.
I'm super excited.
He gave me this book. I can't remember the name. I'll post it. It's super interesting.
I've been logging (at work) all the times I pull.
He's also teaching me habit-changing techniques.
I'm so lazy. I really need to try harder.
Booyah!
