Robert and Glei are WONDERFUL!! Not only did I learn the skills to take back my freedom from hair pulling after pulling for over 10 years, but I learned that it was actually EASY!! I am so beyond grateful to have worked with such intelligent people who have truly transformed my future into one that is so bright and full of hope! Thank you thank you thank you!!

Thank you so much, LK, for your very kind review of our services! Glei and I are very grateful for your willingness to share your experience with the world… people need to know there CAN INDEED be an answer for this condition no matter how long they’d suffered with it, what they’d tried and failed at in the past — or whether they even believe they have what it takes to conquer trichotillomania in the first place. You are living proof! Again, congratulations on an outstanding victory for yourself, LK… You have so much to be proud of! 😊

Robert and Glei helped our 10 year old…
Robert and Glei helped our 10 year old daughter to overcome her hair pulling, which had accelerated quickly and out of control over the course of several months. We had read books, started her on therapy, tried different approaches, all of which helped a little but none really was able to get her to stop. Within less than a month of meeting w/ Robert and Glei, however, our daughter had stopped her hair pulling. 4 month later, she is still doing well and reports that she no longer even thinks about hair-pulling.
We are extremely grateful for their help. I was very unsure in the beginning about how effective their methods would be, especially given the extremely high prices charged, yet the consistent positive reviews (and our own desperation) drew me in. Now I am glad to say that our daughter is among the ranks of the many who have been helped. They made her feel empowered to tackle this issue about which we had all previously felt helpless.

you may not believe it, but you can stop pulling!
on the day of my first session with robert and glei, i was very skeptical that they would ever be able to help me stop pulling my hair. i had been pulling for over two and a half years and it felt like i had tried everything to stop pulling. i can still remember one of the first things they said to me during my first session, which was, “i promise you don’t have a problem. in fact, there is nothing wrong with you or your brain at all. pulling is your brain’s way of responding to signals coming your brain’s way, hair pulling is just a broken response to those signals.” upon hearing those words they made me feel more normal again, and i opened my mind to the possibility that i could stop pulling. by the end of my fifth or sixth session i remember not even thinking about hair pulling anymore. sure i still noticed the bald spots on my head but they no longer bothered me because i knew my hair was growing back. when i used to pull, one of my biggest fears and stressors was whenever people would sit or stand behind me, i am seventeen years old and at this age i find myself tending to care a lot about what other people think about me, especially people i care a lot about. i used to fear that they could see the bald spots on my head and that they would know i had a problem. hair pulling was not something i was open about sharing with others, and i certainly did not want hair pulling to be the only thing people saw when they looked at me. looking back, i could not imagine this journey without robert and glei; they supported me through it all, and quickly became two of my biggest cheerleaders, making me feel like myself again. after every session, i remember saying goodbye to them, signing out of the meeting and smiling thinking how blessed and hopeful they have made me feel. now, after 12 weeks, i am completely pull free, and my hair is growing back more and more every day. thank you robert and glei for all you have done for me, and to anyone reading this, i know you may have your doubts about whether or not they can actually help you, but trust me there is not one person they have not been able to help get out of this horrible routine you’ve been stuck in, and i know what they did for me they can do for you too.

So very grateful!
So very grateful! The Trichotillomania Relief Specialists have helped our family so very much. From our very first conversation, I knew we were in good hands with kind people, who simply wanted to help others truly and completely overcome this challenge. After her first meeting, my daughter felt instant trust with them, knowing they genuinely cared for her wellbeing and were going to support her every step of the way. I couldn't be more enthusiastic or sincere in my recommendation of them. We will forever be grateful for the kind help and lifechanging guidance they've provided our family.

I am eternally grateful!!
I found Robert and Glei during a desperate 11 PM Internet search for trichotillomania help. I looked at their website, and every review I saw was so hopeful and exciting, I couldn't help but ask my parents to sign me up!!! I went in fully ready to commit and get rid of this whole eyelash-pulling thing, and boy, was I in the right place!! Robert and Glei were incredible teachers, mentors, and cheerleaders on our 7 week journey, which then extended into my complimentary private session! I had the luxury of a small, three-person group, and just getting to know the two other girls who were in my same position was a blessing!! I never felt like I was alone, and even though I was easily the youngest in the group, I never felt like I was "too young" or "too immature"! The environment was supportive, helpful, and welcoming, and I am forever indebted to these amazing people for the change they have pushed me to make for myself!!

Glei and Robert were wonderful
Glei and Robert were wonderful! My 15 year old daughter has been struggling with picking her eyelashes since fourth grade. These sessions have given her the tools she needed to take back control and have success for the first time in years!

Thank you, Elizabeth, for your very kind review! Glei and I sincerely appreciate your choice to have your daughter join our Program, especially given the many years she had been suffering with trich and the many disappointments she’d endured earlier on. I’m so glad Glei and I were able to help your daughter find her way out of the darkness and back into the light! Your daughter was an absolute pleasure to get to know and work with, and we KNOW she has an incredibly bright future. Best of luck to you and your family going forward! 😊

Super grateful
My experience with Robert and Glei has been great. They brought hope to my family and helped my daughter in a way that we thought was not possible. Our communication and support has been great and I’m very grateful for the opportunity my daughter had during their time together. They go the extra mile and they never leave you alone. I recommend them 100%!

Life changing experience!
Before the program I was the closest someone could get to lost. I had no idea whether or not I would ever see myself with full sets of eyelashes or eyebrows. I had tried many tactics as in fidgets, finger gloves, physiology, NAC tablets and many more things but none had seemed to work. I was on the edge of giving up and just learning that this is how my life would have to be. Though me and my parents didn’t stop trying after maybe 2-3 years of struggles. That’s when we stumbled across Robert and glei, the trichotillomania master’s. As we read through comment by comment we very quickly signed us up for our very first online meeting which included my mum, dad, me and Robert and glei. Throughout my journey with Robert and glei I learnt a bunch of new tactics to help me to contain the urge to pull and pick my hairs. After our very first meeting session I could already sense a change in myself. After more and more amazing calls I found myself reach the one month mark where I was free from pulling. As a reward I went into town and got gifted a present from my parents. From then on my moods had traveled into more of a positive outlook. I found myself less angry and uptight as I used to be and I could finally get the feeling of bricks off of my shoulders. The last time I picked was over 3 months ago. Since talking to Robert and glei I have only picked twice (none recently, but in the first 3 days after I met them and not at all since). After all the struggles, my family and me found out how incredibly easy it is to stop with the right mindset and help. Not only did they help but they were also comforting and actually enjoyable to be on a call with for over 30 mins to 3 hours. I am so grateful to of found these two important people who have most definitely changed my life. If you’re struggling I’d definitely recommend signing yourself up and having a go at becoming pick free just as I did!
