Life Is Trichy

Memoir of a Mental Health Therapist with a Mental Health Disorder

By: Lindsey M. Muller

Narrated by: Dana Domenick

Life Is Trichy is the true story, a psychology memoir, of a 29-year-old lifelong perfectionist who struggled with the mental health disorders of skin picking, nail biting, and hair pulling. Starting from a young age, this resulted in years of hiding her body-focused repetitive behaviors from everyone she knew while simultaneously pursuing a professional career in psychology to treat others with the same exact challenges. She tactfully weaves actions, feelings, and thoughts from years of sitting in the patient's seat with her professional psychological knowledge in the clinician's seat. Lindsey's personal struggle mixes with factual information to elucidate the tricky and unspoken truth about a classification of disorders affecting approximately 5 percent of the population.

Life is Trichy is appropriate for clinicians, patients, family and friends of hair pullers and for curious minds.

Personal story provided me helpful insights

A great personal example of life with Truck. It gave me new insights to help my daughter.

Don’t believe the author

Would like a follow up to the story because the outcome of the story doesn’t really make sense or add up. It seems like she wrote this book to help progress her career and likely has been hiding the truth since then. Hopefully I’m wrong, but this seems more like a personal puff piece for a person who is a self proclaimed perfectionist and over achiever wanting to make a good image for herself. Anyone who has trich severely knows that it isn’t really a matter of just getting tired of it and quitting in the end.. something just doesn’t add up - trying to apply the learnings here. But wish the author all the best and hopefully doing well
