Have you ever noticed that your pulling or picking completely vanishes while you're away, only to hit like a tidal wave the second you walk through your front door?
In this episode of Trich Talks, host Barbara reflects on her recent trip to the Annual IOCDF Conference in Seattle. She shares her favorite highlights from the weekend—including the pure joy of meeting long-time online community friends in real life.
But Barbara doesn't just stop at the high of the conference. She gets raw and honest about the "post-conference crash." Barbara decodes the highly predictable pattern of why we experience a surge of pulling urges the moment we return to our familiar environments. More importantly, she shares her actionable "Post-Event Transition Plan" to help you the next time you return home.
Whether you are transitioning back from a vacation, a work trip, or just a busy weekend, this episode is a gentle reminder that a relapse isn't a failure—it's just data.
