Hi Rio,

I really appreciated your reply to me. Just wanted to mention one thing I've been using which didn't require going out for a therapy session. I've been reading a lot about mindfulness-based stress reduction and thought it might be helpful for breaking through the "zoning out" aspect of trich. There is an online course you can do . I can't include links in my posts yet but do a search for "Be Mindful Online". It costs £40 and takes four weeks, with video-based instructions and recordings of different exercises which you practise in your own time. I really liked it, especially because you could download the audio and practise the relaxation and other exercises in privacy. It's not specifically for trich, of course, but it might be an option for you, just to try something new when you don't have easy access to a therapist. Good luck!
