Interviewing Steven Goddard

Steven Goddard (@bearsy84) is a London-based man in his 40s who has been living with trichotillomania for over 25 years. Through his experience, Steven has come to recognize how deeply trich impacts men, despite being far less openly discussed than it is among women. He speaks candidly about the stigma, isolation, and pressure many men feel to keep their struggles private, and the toll that silence can take over time. By sharing his story on Trich Talks, Steven hopes to help break down barriers, encourage more open conversations among men, and remind others living with trich that they are not alone.
