Wait! I’m not ready! When alopecia is going on with a family member, here’s how the fears will show up.
Description
Hello!
This week's episode is based on fear a loved one may have with taking action on their own hair loss situation.
Every year around holiday time like it is here in the USA, I will get a flurry of calls from daughters of moms and moms of daughters that have hair loss wanting to make an appointment for them. I explain the fears running the show behind the situation and how I suggest dealing with them. Even when someone is complaining about their hair loss, sometimes the wig or topper isn't the solution THE PERSON with the hair loss really wants themselves. Sometimes, someone who is not truly ready will find a reason to dislike the most perfect wig or topper in the world.
Survival fear is hardwired into our brains. Your brain will act the same way with fight or flight reaction when faced with a good change like a great new 'do, too. Fear is a sneaky thing sometimes. I talk about how sometimes it's more comfortable to stay in a familiar pattern such as complaining and not doing something about it, as crazy as it sounds.
Peace, Love and Alternative Hair
