Today we started class with a short discussion about our presentations. We have to pick a disorder in which we have studying during the semester.. yada yada yada. So I don't enjoy presentations, I don't enjoy speaking in front of people at all... and I realized how much anxiety I had when thinking about speaking in front of people. And then I remembered, I am tutor for a Fundamentals Of Speech class... hmm that is a little ironic!
Anyways... we reviewed tick disorders. The one I found most interesting was Trichotillomania aka hair pulling. I was curious to see if the people who have this disorder, know what they are doing while they are physically doing it. I would think that it would be painful, and socially unacceptable. I mean people seem to prize long hair. People who have cancer treatments and lose their hair are given sympathy for their disease and hair loss.
I decided to do some research on Trichotillomania and found this website, in case anyone is interested in learning more... http://www.trich.org/index.asp
