As I'm writing this page, I've been pull free nearly two years. This is my third long period of remission and I am convinced it's permanent. I feel in total control of my trichotillomania.

My first pull free period was two years, my second three years, and now this one which will be two years in May. I really believe I have finally conquered this disorder.

I am very often asked how I've achieved this pull free status, and there is no simple answer : it is a cocktail of cures, if you like.

The most important thing, I think, is to accept and allow your thoughts and feelings, rather than trying to fight them and suppress them.

I'd certainly recommend that you read every page on this website, and the best way to do that is to keep returning to the home page, and work your way through each of the main menu headings :

Home, Info, Treatment, Support, Treatment, Experiences, Suggestions, Regions, Miscellaneous, Publicity.
