I handed the psychiatrist a check for $150 and walked out to my car. I sat down inside and instantly felt the urge to pull coming on strong. Rather than reaching toward my head, I followed his instructions and began to squeeze the steering wheel. I counted, "One, two, three. . . ,"all the way to 50. The urge remained. I began again. "1, 2, 3. . ."
 
"This is dumb," I thought. "I don’t want to do this—it makes no sense to me."
 
The voice in my head said, "Why? Don’t you want to find a way to stop pulling your hair out?"  
 
And shockingly I replied, "No. No, I really don’t."
 
That was the day I began to heal.

 

Isn’t it about time for hope and real healing?

 Abby Leora Rohrer

 

Dear Friend,

Of course, you want to control your trichotillomania, to stop the feelings of anger and shame. You want to stop behaving like a deer caught in the headlights when someone carelessly says, "I was so frustrated I wanted to pull my hair out!" 

But you’ve tried so many things you don’t know who or what to believe anymore. You just want the inner battle to stop!

My name is Abby Leora Rohrer and I’m a former compulsive hair puller.  For 27 years, I pulled from the crown of my head for hours most days, furiously searching for just the "right" hairs. 

Does this sound familiar? 

Reaching up, sorting through, finding the one with the perfect feel and just the right texture.

Making the pull. Hoping for a big white bulb on the end.  Examining it. Maybe chewing the bulb or the hair.  Discarding it and on to the next one.  An endless quest.

The frustration, the shame, the wondering why, the rage, the fear of being found out.

The bald spots, the hiding, the lost hours, the struggle for control, the piles of hair on the floor.

The times of remission.  The urge is gone. Suddenly, you just don’t need to pull.  Your life is full and you’re busy and happy.  But without explanation, that furious urge always returns.

Hair pulling is an isolating experience.  Even though I was married and had a child, I was lonely and depressed.  For hours each day I was in "voluntary solitary confinement" pulling out my hair while my pulse raised and my adrenaline level soared.  Sometimes, I was too revved to fall asleep before dawn.   

Hair pulling is a "drug".  

 Believe me, I know your struggle because
it used to be my struggle

At age 21 I started looking for my own answers. I spent the next 18 years in various types of offices.  I tried six kinds of psychotherapy, attended human potential trainings, 12-step groups, four kinds of chiropractic, acupuncture, homeopathy, Reiki and a bunch of other natural and New Age stuff. I read self-help by the score—tried everything but medication.

None of it worked. 

I was pulling more.  I was less happy than ever before.  In the spring of 1994, after that behavior therapy session, I got totally disgusted with the endless search.   

The answers weren’t out-there. 

I was pissed off!  And fed up with paying people for answers and abilities they just didn’t have. 

Aren’t you? 

If you really think about it, aren’t you just a bit angry about the lack of useful answers available for permanently ending your hair pulling?

I decided, "There has to be a way to beat this thing.  If the answers aren’t ‘out there’ maybe they’re ‘in here.' 

Instead of staying powerless, I decided to get mad.  And determined.

 I took back the reins and began to heal 

May 8, 2006 marked the 12th Anniversary of the last time I pulled a hair from my head. I was 39 years old and had been hair pulling since the age of 12. I’ve spent these last twelve years researching, writing and teaching others how permanent self-healing works.

But since that May, NOT pulling has been effortless and my life has improved in so many fantastic ways.  These changes came, not simply from stopping the hair pulling, but because of how I did it.

 No One Except Another Hairpuller Can Tell You
Exactly How To Heal
The "Inner-Hairpuller" Experience

I use a different model for understanding and ending trichotillomania than healing professionals or hair pullers. I will show you exactly how to find and remove the core of your own trichotillomania.

I hate to tell you this, but years ago when I first shared my experience some hairpullers actually laughed at me in disbelief. 

I can’t blame them because I was probably pretty cocky.  At the time I had been pull-free for less than six months but I knew I had fully overcome it.  And partly, they were angry because I had stated my unwavering belief, "hair pullers are capable of healing themselves fully as long as they make the inner commitment to do so." 

This material takes the power for complete recovery and puts it into your own hands.    

But instead of standing up to those so-called experts (who hadn't successfully stopped their own hair pulling) who ridiculed me for the solution I know works, I went off and used my method to help folks struggling with other compulsions and even depression.  It has never failed when the person made the sincere commitment to heal! 

But, making the commitment to free yourself can be difficult, wouldn’t you agree?

Emphatically declaring, "I deserve more than this. I’m not going to live like this anymore!" can be challenging.  It was for me.  After all, hair pulling can appear so tension relieving. You may be so focused on the relief of tension and the impact to your appearance that you don’t even notice how it’s eroding your self-esteem.

Praise for Abby Rohrer’s Self-Healing Instruction Manual:

"Abby Rohrer has provided a program for people whose lives are disrupted by unhealthy addictions and their families and loved ones.  She offers hope for full healing; a virtue seldom found in the recovery community.  Her formula begins and ends with taking full responsibility for our own healing.  Ms. Rohrer represents a new kind of healer, one who has walked in the shoes of the sufferer and knows both the pitfalls and what helps, first hand.  This book is a "must read" for anyone who is in recovery. . . (her material) offers a positive and helpful alternative."

                  Philip Kavanaugh, M.D., author of Magnificent Addiction 

"Abby Rohrer presents a passionate yet reasoned attempt to lead those plagued by addictive behavior to the only place where real recovery is possible: inside themselves.  This book is an instruction manual for a journey within."     

      Jeffrey Schwartz, M.D., author of BrainLock

 Don’t worry.  What’s Wrong With Pulling My Hair Out? can help.

 Because, it was specifically written to address all 3 of these crucial areas:

  1. Your natural resistance to change

  2. Your habitual behavior

  3. Your damaged self-esteem

This book is the only one of its kind.

Excerpted from my successful self-healing program, it will give you the information that you need to end your compulsion and repair your self-esteem.  My program has been successfully used to heal many things: trichotillomania, codependency/relationship addiction, bulimia, compulsive overeating, old grief and anger, the painful emotional remnants of childhood abuse, abortion and divorce, sudden relationship losses & more.

And now it can work for you too . . . 

I have recently decided to put out this book just for trichotillomania sufferers.  I want to share with you the self-healing information that I’ve found that works (and what doesn’t)!  I've already received some powerful comments from readers.

“Here are some pictures to show how your book has helped me!”

I've been doing the book lessons, and really feel it's helping.  I'm not always completely pull-free every day, but when I do pull I use your suggestion and, amazingly, that's what allows me to stop after just 2-3 hairs instead of going back for more! 


I'm actually allowing myself to feel anger, sadness, etc., whereas before I would suppress those feelings with hair pulling.  Overall, I'm much happier.  I've attached 2 pictures: They're both of my right side, which was pretty bad-off to begin with but is looking much better after just one month!

--Kelly from Illinois

 

“It's been nearly 6 months since I've pulled!”

"Not since I ordered your book online! I know I'm completely finished hair pulling. I have no desires still at all.  Thank you!

--J.M.J., Maryland

 

 

 

“I have not pulled a single, solitary hair in 2 months since reading your book!”

"This is huge because I was to the point where I was pulling every single day for at least an hour, probably two.

"I'm filled with gratitude, shock and an odd feeling of peace about it.  I feel like I've been exposed to whole new worlds, and the opportunities go wayyy beyond just stopping my hair pulling.  I never even thought that stopping was possible!  Yipeee!

"Thanks for your courage to share so much of yourself to help so many others, Abby!  I love getting your emails. . .

--A Reader from Illinois

 

 

“Since reading your info, I have quit hair pulling!”

"I have pulled all of my life, ever since I can remember. . .but since reading your materials, I have quit.  I pulled one hair. . .unconsciously, realized what I did, then threw the hair away!

"I just wanted to let you know that you really struck a chord with me.  I am so very grateful."

--A Reader from Colorado

“It sure seemed like a never ending drama that I couldn't stop.”

"But I have to say that since reading the book I have not been pulling my hair for over 2 months now.  I am very much pleased to have someone like you to reach out to because I don't know what else I would have done.

"I want to thank you again and will keep in touch."

--A Reader from Ohio

 

"I'm now 58 days pull-free (since the day I bought your book)!"

“Your book was brilliant!"

 

"My whole attitude changed immediately and I knew that I had the power to also heal myself. I could finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. My pain was eased -- I felt I was in control for the first time in my life.

 

“I have tried everything to stop hair pulling, from hypnotherapy to behavior therapy, to counseling, nothing worked, but your book made me open my eyes for the first time and see the sense of it all. I never thought I would wake up and find a miracle, but I have.  The answers are in this book.  I am recovering and no longer in pain and suffering.  Your words have made me believe in my power to heal myself. Abby, you are a Godsend!”

 

--Nisha Sharma

"I have only pulled out three or four hairs since June 30."

“I wanted to let you know what happened to me after I read your book. I believed it was possible to get freedom at last.  Those pages became a catalyst for shaking off this bondage that has plagued me for 45 years.

"Thank you for having the courage to write your book and tell people that they can be healed.  I believe it and I already feel like I have the victory. I mean business with this thing!!!

"Thank you again and God bless you."

"I hope that others will be as empowered as I am."

“I took a very big step by ordering your book. I have never confronted my problem so honestly before.  For 27 years I have wrestled, punished and emotionally abused myself. I thought that I was bad and weird. It was like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders to read that someone else experienced the same behaviors. In fact, I was astounded that other people actually felt the same way. You were almost a mirror image of me; down to the thoughts, behaviors and reasons associated with the hair pulling.

”Your book helped me look at my behavior in a different light. I think the most significant thing was the empowerment it gave me.  Thank you for providing a realistic view of trich.

“I am excited about the prospects of my future, and intend to keep your book by my bedside as a constant reminder, reference, and inspiration that I CAN DO IT!  Best of luck to you.”

I promise your situation is not unique.
And more importantly - your situation is NOT hopeless. 

I am not a special case.  I was able to end my battle with trichotillomania, on my own, even though I am not a therapist or doctor. 

And so can you, if YOU choose to do so.  ORDER NOW

The big problem is that people who suffer from trichotillomania have been fed so many untruths.

Here are just a few: 

Myth #1: Compulsive hair pulling is a hereditary illness.
 It has still not been definitely proven that trichotillomania is hereditary.
Myth #2: There is no cure for trichotillomania. 
The cure I found was outside of the traditional medical, psychological and social models. To utilize it, I had to be willing to open up my mind.
Myth #3:

You don’t have the ability to end your compulsive hair pulling.  The best you can hope for is a way to control it.

You can learn how to cure yourself.  If you choose to, you can live fully free of compulsive hair pulling for the rest of your life.
Myth #4:

If a solution exists, it exists outside of you.
In fact, it’s just the opposite.  The only permanent solution for healing your trichotillomania is inside of you.
Myth #5:

You’re weird, crazy, sick, abnormal and deviant if you pull out your hair.
Maybe it’s the world that is weird, crazy, sick, abnormal and deviant.

You may have heard some or all of the above myths.  I will show you why none of them are true and how believing in them will only stop your ability to heal.

You need to try something different.

And that’s why I wanted to share this exciting perspective with you.  Wouldn’t you agree that it’s foolish to think that by doing the same thing over and over again you’ll get different results? If I keep touching a hot stove and keep getting burned, I’d be silly to think the next time I touch that hot stove I won’t get burned. The answers you’ve sought haven’t worked and have brought you here.

The other day I calculated that over the years I spent $89,205 (an average of $3300 per year) and 4,137 hours in my own quest for freedom from compulsive hairpulling.  I tried a dozen therapists, six kinds of psychotherapy, behavior therapy, 12-Step groups, support groups, homeopathy, acupuncture, human potential trainings, personality assessment programs, five types of chiropractic care, reiki, cranial sacral, rebirthing, reparenting, meditation, scores of self-help books and more. Now, You can benefit from my years of trial and error, my years of research and my years of enormous expense.  And since healing I’ve spent much of the last 10 years to develop and get this material out to you.  This is my passion – I’ve lived and breathed it nearly every moment since 1994.   

Now, you could go to endless psychotherapy or behavior therapy sessions, try special diets, Hair Puller's Anonymous programs or try numerous medications and still you will never tap into the amazing truths that this book provides about how to stop your trichotillomania for good. And with or without health insurance, you'll still end up losing more of your precious time, hope and your hard-earned cash. No where else will you find these answers!

"Reading your materials helped me change my attitude toward my daughter and her hairpulling problem.  I thought she would be motivated to stop doing something that gave her bad feelings but your book explained to me that the guilt and bad feelings merely fanned the flames. I have changed my approach to let her know that hairpulling isn't the problem or even a problem; the problem is lots of other stuff, like the stress of growing up and assuming responsibility. Now, we focus on dealing with handling those problems."

In the past I've tried to offer this information for free, but time and time again, regardless of its power and high level of effectiveness, most people just didn’t value it. But, when I did charge, people consistently took it seriously . . . took it to heart and got really big results!

It's a strange fact that people just don’t value what they don't pay for. 

We value what we receive through mutual exchange. So, while this material is priceless (because it gives YOU the power to heal yourself) I’ve set the price at just half of one visit to a psychiatrist -- $79.95.  Think about it . . . if you're a 20-year puller, that's an investment of less than $4 a year toward your freer future!

And for a limited period, I’ve set the price at
