This gives you an opportunity to meet with other people who deal with the daily struggle of Trichotillomania or other anxiety-related habits such as nail biting, finger picking, skin-digging, etc. I am a senior at Indiana University in Bloomington and am 21 years old. I have had TTM for 9 years (since puberty). Due to my CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therpay), medications, and self-hypnosis session, I have had as much progress with it as I have ever had. Feels great! :) This is a miracle! I didn't think it was possible. I want to share my experience and talk to others who have behavioral habits that can relate and to who may need support. TTM has greatly affected my self-confidence and self-esteem. It's your "secret" and one of the hardest things is admitting it. With this group, we will talk about the daily struggle and our experiences, how to relieve the tension and anxiety, and give advice and support to all those who deserve it.
