Even though I started pulling at around 10 I don't think it was down to childhood trauma for you either. Good luck to you and your son! Danielle - I am so sorry to hear about your father. It is quite possible that may have caused your pulling, it is so hard to tell though. I guess it differs for everyone, and even though these theories are interesting I do not believe we can all be labelled in the same way. Thanks so much for visiting and sharing your thoughts.

I started a few weeks after my father committed suicide...I don't know why I started, but like I said, I read that most trichsters seem to trace their problem back to some sort of trauma or high stress situ ation they experienced at a young age...maybe there is something to this?
