Tess Murphy: B(F)RB, pulling my hair out

June 28, 2026 · 59 min

Show notes

Tess very generously talks to Penny and Angie about:

  • when her hair pulling symptoms began
  • her religious upbringing and the intense feelings of shame and perfectionism
  • the various treatments she’s tried in order to stop pulling out her eyelashes
  • accepting how life pans out (regardless of the condition)
  • what she wishes people knew about trich
  • what she'll do if her kids show signs
