Thanks for sharing the links - beautifully-made videos by a lovely and talented girl. Having said that, as a hair-puller myself I had very mixed feelings watching. In the first couple I watched, Beckie is so casual in the way she talks about trich, so openly - even showing off her bald patches. Not many pullers I know would ever do that, it feels such a shameful thing. I know rationally that it's not my fault, not something to feel ashamed off but still I struggle to mention trich to anyone but my very nearest and dearest. So I don't know what message Beckie gives out - is this an honesty we should all aspire to, or is she masking the horrible pain and shame of this disorder?

Then I watched more, and realised that this is just as hard for Beckie to talk about as it is for any of us. The one on "unhelpful things" people say about trich" is so, so true . . .
