TRICH TALKS: CHRISTINA OBERHAUS

Christina @beachmamablog is a mom blogger who shares about her mental health to help shed light on topics that are often ignored. Christina began her body-focused repetitive behavior (BFRB) journey by developing trichotemnomania (the hair-cutting disorder) which ultimately led her to trichotillomania (the hair-pulling disorder). Although her BFRBs once caused her immense shame, Christina has been able to shed the shame and share her story with the world. Christina wants everyone but especially other mothers to know that there is a community out there that is ready to support you and she is part of it!—This episode is brought to you by HabitAware. What better way to start 2024 than by bringing awareness to your BFRB. My Keen2 brings awareness to my trichotillomania by giving my wrist a gentle hug or vibration when I’m doing the scanning behavior.
