Love, Strength, & Awareness Course
Welcome!
Hi, I'm Aneela Idnani, co-founder of HabitAware in trichotillomania recovery. I'll be your Peer Coach for this course, guiding you through Love, Strength, & Awareness!
I'll be telling my trichotillomania story during the course of this course, so what I'll share right now is simply this:
I am committed to your recovery from hair pulling, skin picking and nail biting.
I believe deeply in the methodology we've created as a way to encourage your focus on the solutions, instead of the problems in our lives.
I want to support your rise above the chaos in your life by sharing the power of Love, Strength, & Awareness.
But I can't do it for you.
YOU need to commit to yourself today and everyday:
- to show up for YOU,
- to believe in YOU,
- to trust in YOU.
YOU have the power within you.
I just want to help you bring it out with Love, Strength, & Awareness.
What is Love, Strength, and Awareness?
