  TrichStop: Honest conversations about hair pulling

  In Their Own Words: with Angela Hartlin

  Sep 9, 20261h 31m

  This webinar follows the human experience of living with a Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviour (BFRB), such as hair pulling and skin picking. Join our host, Meryl Da Costa, Counsellor and guest Angela Hartlin, author and BFRB advocate to discuss her personal journey with skin picking, the challenges of living with shame and secrecy, and how she transformed her experience into a mission to educate and support others. Together, we'll explore what recovery can look like, the power of lived experience, and the lessons that connect everyone affected by BFRBs. While Angela's story is rooted in skin picking, the themes of shame, resilience, self-compassion, and hope resonate deeply with individuals living with both hair pulling and skin picking.

  When It’s Personal: Talking Honestly About Hair Pulling & Skin Picking

  Jul 23, 20261h 16m

  In this conversation, Meryl and Laura come together to talk openly about hair pulling and skin picking from different, deeply personal perspectives.

Laura brings her voice as a TrichStop therapist who also lives with trichotillomania herself. Together, they reflect on what it’s like to support, treat, and live with these conditions. This session isn’t about techniques or “fixing” behaviour. It’s about understanding, compassion, and the realities that don’t always make it into clinical explanations. A space for honesty, connection, and feeling less alone.
