I just returned from a weekend in Chicago. Among other things, I attended a few sessions at the conference put on by the Trichotillomania Learning Center. I was able to make some good contacts with people, as well as get ideas for professionals who might have similar ideas/research plans as me. I found that a lot of my recent ideas about pulling & treatment and such may be on the right track, so now I just have to find a way to learn more and then figure out how to start researching such things without being in grad school or having a university affiliation. I don’t really want to be that formal, but I want to test some theories. So I don’t know exactly where to go with that next. I’ll put some feelers out and go from there.
I managed to drive all the way home from Chicago today (3+ hours) and only pulled once. That is pretty impressive. I probably would have done more if Brian had been sleeping the whole time, but I’ll take what I can get as far as success.
More later. I have to write up a report for work that I’ve been avoiding since we got home…
