Before when asked I had told that overcoming Trichotillomania would be kind of heaven for me. Well, with great pride and joy I can let you know that it truly is! No longer having to live with behavior from which you suffer and are deeply ashamed of is a real salvation. Also working with Rik was very enjoyable and felt familiar.

I recommend this to everyone, because Trichotillomania makes your life very difficult. I have all confidence that it will help you too. Because doctors, medication and therapy could not help me in all the 19 years before, but the help from Getting Better did!

I think it is possible because I did it.
Take a leap of faith, that's all it is, because that's all I had to do.
It's simpler than you think it is.Susan

I am very happy with the results. I no longer feel different compared to other people and no longer have to feel weird about the comments and reactions of others when confronted with my habit in the past.
It is really wonderful when someone knows how to help you with this and to experience the progress you make on a daily basis afterwards.

Rik has an approach that is sincere and to the point. I had expected that I would be difficult, but it was very easy.
No messing around or postponing. Just finding out how my brain works, how I think. We did exercises. There was a lot of variety. I felt supported and at ease. Rik made it easy for me.

I am so grateful to finally have overcome Trichotillomania after 14 years of struggle with this behavior. I also notice I feel a lot stronger nowadays and find it so much easier to express myself.
My life has definitely improved in many wonderful ways, most importantly of course to be free after all these years!

Belief in what you are capable of.
When with these exercises you learn how to turn subconscious actions into conscious actions you can stop hair pulling and win from this behavior!

Hi Rik, I finished the third module yesterday and it´s going very well.
One minute I am pulling and the next I feel like I am cured.
I really think your program is amazing! !

Before this program I had struggled for so long and had already tried various forms of cognitive behavioral therapy.
Although that helped to become more aware of my behavior, I never managed to overcome the urge for pulling before.
But this time I have, thanks to your wonderful program. I really love everything about it. Thank you so much for showing me the way!

I never dared to hope seeing results so quickly.
I feel I have left Trichotillomania behind me.
Like it was something I suffered from in the past but no longer.

Hi Rik! I am doing very well, HAVE NOT PULLED OUT ANY HAIR! The funny part is that on some moments I recently experienced I would definitely pull in the past …. I am no longer preoccupied with having to do this. INCREDIBLE AFTER ALMOST 20 YEARS!!”

I am very satisfied with the results of overcoming Trichotillomania. And although I was the one who had to do the exercises Rik asked me to do, it is just very nice to get support from someone who can help you with this when you have struggled for so long on your own.
Working with Rik was great fun and I laughed a lot. Initially you have the impression that you will meet a kind of Doctor, but frankly I have never laughed this much with my own doctor 🙂 !

Hi Rik, Doing Really well! I just finished the most stressful course, normally I would have pulled for sure, but not this time, thank you so much!
Kristi
Hi Rik, I'm doing really well. I haven't pulled a hair since my last reply. Hardly any urges, what's going on!? When I've tried before to stop but it's always been really hard!
Julie
Hi Rik, I am doing super good! No hair pulling. You don’t want to know how happy I am with this. My hair is starting to grow back and my bold spots are disappearing. I can’t thank you enough!
