Although she still pulls and picks, her relationship with her body-focussed repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) has changed for the better. Jess’s advice for those outside of the BFRB community: if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

Barbara @barbara_valliere1337 has had trichotillomania, specifically eyelash pulling, for over 20 years. Although this was new and shocking to Barbara at such a young age, she did not have to experience her trichotillomania alone. Her twin sister also developed trichotillomania at the same time she did. Together they were able to lean on each other for support, try different management strategies, and make peace with this disorder.

J. Dana Trent is a speaker, professor, award-winning spirituality author, and minister. A graduate of Duke Divinity School, she teaches world religions and critical thinking at Wake Technical Community College in Raleigh, North Carolina. J. Dana recently published her memoir, Between Two Trailers that includes her experience with trichotillomania, the hair-pulling disorder.
J. Dana’s Between Two Trailers:
Home, it turns out, is where the war is. It’s also where the healing begins.
Dana Trent is only a preschooler the first time she uses a razor blade to cut up weed and fill dime bags for her schizophrenic father, King. While King struggles with his unmedicated psychosis, Dana’s mother, the Lady, a cold and self-absorbed woman whose personality disorders rule the home, guards large bricks of drugs from the safety of their squalid trailer. But when the Lady impulsively plucks Dana from the Midwest and moves the two of them south, their fresh start results in homelessness and bankruptcy. In North Carolina, Dana becomes torn between her gritty midwestern past and her newfound desire to be a polite southern girl, struggling to reconcile her shame with an ache to figure out who she is, and where she belongs.
But the past is never far behind. After persevering through childhood and eventually graduating from Duke University, Dana imagines that her hidden Indiana life is finally behind her, only to realize that running from her upbringing has kept her from making peace with the people and places that shaped her. Ultimately, Dana finds that though love for family is universally complicated, there is no shame in survival, and for those who want it, there is always a path home.
