In this first episode of Season 6, Barbara shares the story of how Trich Talks began: a podcast born from the need to hear real stories, honest conversations, and the voices of people living with trichotillomania and other body-focused repetitive behaviors. She talks about why storytelling has always been so important to her, and how it helped her feel seen, understood, and less alone.
This season, Barbara will continue those conversations with curiosity, openness, and a lot of love. You can expect new interviews, personal stories, and readings from The Trichster Diaries, all designed to remind you that you’re not defined by your BFRB and that small moments of awareness and self-compassion matter.
