Trichotillomania: Teleconference with Joan Kaylor
Thursday, May 22, 2008
This is NOT a counseling session, support group or therapy group. This is a professionally assisted discussion group. You take full responsibility for your own health and safety. Medications will not be discussed. Each person responds to medicine differently. Your experience may not be someone else’s experience. Please consult with a licensed physician about medication.



Each teleconference will be an hour long. You will be given a toll free number and passcode to join in. On the call, you will be identified only by your first name, as confidentiality is a priority. Otherwise, you are welcome to share any information you choose to disclose about yourself. Note that the teleconference will be recorded and held on my website for one week. If you wish to download the recorded teleconference to your IPod or MP3 player you may do so for $10.00.

This teleconference will not be helpful if you suffer from major depression, bi polar disorder, alcohol addiction or substance addiction. These disorders must be treated before attending to Trichotillomania.

This teleconference IS for you if you are ready to take back the power from trich. If you are ready to set attainable goals, if you are ready to create strategies that will create internal peace and “quiet hands” then sign up to participate in the teleconference.

The cost is $30.00, $10.00 of which is going to the Trichtillomania Learning Center (TLC).



Christina Pearson, Executive Director of TLC will be a guest on the first teleconference call.
