The Trichotillomania Relief Specialists™Reviews of trich-free.com

When I reached out to Robert and Glei in March, our 12-year-old son was completely bald on the crown and front of his head. We started the 90-day program feeling desperate and hopeless. After his first 3 sessions, our son began to gain control over his urges, and we started to feel hopeful. He just finished the program. His hair is filling in, he is feeling confident, and we are all tremendously relieved. Robert and Glei built a strong and positive rapport with our son (not the easiest thing to do with a 12-year-old boy!), helped him understand himself and his urges, and taught him how to take and maintain control. We are so grateful for their expertise and for the support that they provided for our son and us as parents throughout this process.

Before I began the Trich Relief program, I felt completely lost. I pulled chunks of my hair out every day, and I had no way to stop it no matter how hard I tried. I tried everything; therapy, fidgets, breathing exercises, hair wraps... it felt futile. I would read articles about trich success, and I thought, "I know I can do it." But I would afterward just fall back into the trap of hair pulling. I felt like I was alone. I felt like everything I tried wouldn't work, and that I wasn't enough and I just couldn't do it. I'd come crying to my mom, saying, "I don't want to do it anymore. I want to stop pulling." And she'd give me encouraging words, and I'd feel a new energy that made me feel like I could do it. But the next day, maybe even the same day, I'd keep pulling. I felt ashamed. It put so much stress on me. I have been dealing with trich for 5 years. At this point, I felt like nothing could help me. But a little over a month ago, my mom came to me and brought up the idea of seeing a trich specialist. Originally, I was hesitant, because I didn't want her to spend money on something that probably wouldn't work anyway. But something inside of me said, "Try it. Maybe it works, maybe it won't. And if it doesn't, at least you tried it." So I agreed. My first session was in early May, and I immediately began considering Robert and Glei as close friends, the way they were so friendly! Even on the first sessions, they gave me useful information that almost changed my hair pulling habits on the spot. I learned that after that first session, I pulled 98% less hairs than before. And I also learned that it's okay to stumble, and to just try again next time. After I completed all my sessions, I was trich free. You never waste a minute with Robert and Glei, and it doesn't at all feel like "therapy." It feels fun and the time flies by so fast. I think that what Robert & Glei are doing is pure gold, and to those reading out there, it doesn't matter how long you struggled. Even if you feel like nothing else works, just keep pushing. As long as you let go of the past, you'll be okay. You can't move forward if you're stuck behind.

I give The Trichotillomania Relief Specialists 5 stars because their program is a game changer, life transforming really, and I would like for others struggling with BFRB's as my daughter was to experience the same as she did. Robert and Glei Mantell are an amazing team! Their vast understanding and knowledge of the root of Trichotillomania allows them to work with their clients with such compassion, patience and specially the necessary and right tools that make all the difference. For the first time my daughter felt heard and supported in a way that many other therapists couldn't do. After the sessions and all the tools that Robert and Glei gave her, we've seen a big transformation within weeks. My daughter is much more confident that she can beat this. She's been pull free (after pulling daily for over 5+ years). 10/10 recommend!

I had been struggling with trich for 11 years and it had progressively gotten worse as my freshman year of college started. I didn’t believe anything could help me at this point, but i was desperate. Within the first two weeks my life had completely changed as I had maybe pulled 2 strands after my first meeting with them. Not only did my urges to pull completely change, I learned so much about myself and became the best version of myself due to their coaching. I highly recommend doing this program I promise it was the best decision I’ve ever made, coming from someone who did not believe it was possible to stop.

Hello,my name is Mary-Lou I am a 57 year old woman who had been pulling out her eyelashes, eyebrows and hair for 53 years.This condition started when I was a four year old child and continued throughout my entire life. As an infant my parents sort various forms of help for me.A child psychiatrist, psychologist, psychotherapist.I have tried many forms of therapy throughout my life.In my early teens I saw a hypnotherapist, but to no avail. I felt doomed, down and depressed, useless and a failure.I have been rock bottom with this condition!! That was until I discovered Robert and Glei, I was very hesitant at first,what they were offering seemed too good to be true, my only regret is that I didn’t join earlier !! I stopped pulling out my hair in the first session PROFOUND!! A complete miracle and I have remained pull- free for almost 2 months! That’s a life time in the realms of trichotillomania !! The professional help Both Robert and Glei delivered was tremendous.They gave us continuous support, guidance, consistency, understanding,passion,hope, joy encouragement, congruence. I can’t thank them enough, they showed me how to set myself free from the affliction of hair pulling that I had suffered with all my life !! I highly recommend Robert and Glei!! If I can completely stop pulling out my hair after 53 years ,just think what they can do for you!! Thank you Robert and Glei I wish you both much joy peace and happiness much love to you Mary-Lou xx

When I was younger, I took (highly expensive) cognitive-behavioral therapy to address hair-pulling. It was insufficient and I relapsed; then I finally gave up. After 15 years of living with hair-pulling and assuming I might never quit, I found Robert & Glei (whose website seemed almost too good to be true), and signed up for their group coaching. Of the eight of us, the majority have entirely quit pulling (including one peer who'd been struggling for 50+ years) — with urges severely diminished or terminated altogether. Robert & Glei's focus is on reframing one's beliefs about oneself, one's willpower, one's motivation, one's agency, etc. Most of us had a "eureka, why didn't I think about it this way before?" moment: Robert & Glei really make the practice about reconceiving your relationship with yourself. Super empowering beyond just overcoming the hair-pulling! The mindfulness lessons are broadly applicable. Completely worth it.

Robert and Glei have been nothing short of a Godsend for my daughter, and I could not be more thankful that I found them. My daughter started pulling her hair (eye lashes, then eyebrows, then head hair) at age 10. She is now 18. We spent years trying everything—multiple therapists, psychologist, psychiatrist, hypnosis—with little relief. Her pulling accelerated about a year ago, to the point where she was pulling hundreds a day, and her social and academic life suffered severely. I found Robert and Glei and looked into their program. Robert spent time on the phone with me answering my questions, and their approach made sense. Importantly, it was different from what had not worked for my daughter all those years. I decided to enroll her in the 90-day program. She was able to get control of her pulling almost immediately. She went from pulling almost nonstop to not pulling at all. She occasionally pulls a hair here and there unconsciously, but that is it. And Robert and Glei provided daily support and feedback for her the whole way. She has a new lease on life, and a huge burden has been lifted for both of us. I cannot say enough about how amazing this program has been. Robert and Glei have shown my daughter that she can control not only pulling, but all aspects of her life. My only regret is that we did not find them sooner!

I am now just over 6 months without pulling out a single hair after your Trich-Free 7 Week course. My Mum found your program through Facebook, she sent it to me after she watched your video and told me to try it. I called Robert and he rang me back after work hours and talked to me for an hour (I live in Canada). I thought what's the worst that could happen? My hair-pulling was at an all-time high, worst-case scenario it doesn't work and I would be out a bit of money (There are multiple payment options that make it affordable). I went in fully open-minded but sceptical because I had been pulling since I was 12 and I am 31 now. During the first session, I wasn't sure what I had gotten myself into but by the end of the second session, something clicked. To anyone considering the course, I couldn't recommend it more. There is a method to why and how they do things, so just go with it. That first week I significantly reduced the amount of hair I pulled and by week three I wasn't pulling at all (still playing though). Now I may play with my hair from time to time but I am not thinking of pulling much. You finish with some fundamentals that shift the way your mind reacts to urges and a toolbox of techniques to help you combat and live in harmony with your urges instead of acting on them.
