Natasha Sandhu, an Essex-based fashion influencer became obsessed with pulling out her own eyelashes as she had trichotillomania.
Natasha suffered daily with this constant issue that made her eyes swollen and painful.
In an attempt to hide her disorder, Natasha had been purchasing four pairs of fake lashes every week since she was 16.
It wasn't until Natasha, from Nottinghamshire, found therapist Robert Hisee that her long-lasting issue was finally solved.
She shared: "My natural lashes were completely bald for years as I tugged at them every night. I had no other option but to wear fake lashes every day to hide my disorder."
Around 350,000 people in the UK are believed to be affected by trichotillomania, so she was certainly not alone.
In the USA, about five to 10 million people in the United States, or 3.5% of the population have the same habit.

Ways to treat trichotillomania
- Keep a diary of your hair pulling
- Work out the triggers for your hair pulling and learning how to avoid them
- Replace hair pulling with another action, like squeezing a stress ball
- Form a ball with your fist and tighten the muscles in that arm
- Use a fidget toy
- Wear a bandana or a tight fitting hat, such as a beanie
- Come up with a saying that you repeat out loud until the urge to pull passes
- Take a soothing bath to ease any stress or anxiety
- Practise deep breathing until the urge to pull goes away
- Exercise
- Put plasters on your fingertips
- Cut your hair short
Natasha said: "I never imagined that in just three hours Robert Hisee could cure my trichotillomania in one session by using his hypnotherapy techniques, he is amazing."
Trichotillomania is commonly treated using a type of CBT called habit reversal training, which helps you to replace a bad habit with something that's not as harmful.
Natasha has now regained her confidence and is a successful influencer with nearly 500,000 followers on Instagram.
She is also a columnist for West Essex Life magazine where she gets things off her chest and can share her thoughts just as she did with Robert.
