Urges: Hope and Inspiration for People with Trichotillomania and Other Mysterious Compulsive Disorders Tapa blanda - 2009

Gary Hennerberg began pulling his hair at the age of 6. After many years of secretly hiding this disorder, named trichotillomania, he has written the narrative of his childhood while growing up on farms near the Nebraska and Kansas border. His book weaves in stories about his upbringing with family, school, growing up on a Midwestern farm, church, and 4-H. The story continues to his adult years when he started to wear a hairpiece, how he found love, and the turning point of when he decided to no longer keep "trich" a secret. Hennerberg is a nationally recognized speaker and author in his profession. On Father's Day 2004 a message written for Hennerberg's father called "What I Learned from You" was published worldwide by advice columnist Dear Abby. His website for people with trichotillomania and compulsive disorders is www.manage-trich-urges.com.
