Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) are often misunderstood and deeply isolating.
In this webinar, we’ll clearly explain what BFRBs are, why they happen, and how they differ from “bad habits” or lack of control. With a special focus on hair pulling and skin picking, we’ll explore common patterns, emotional and sensory drivers, and evidence-based approaches that support real change — with compassion, not shame.
