Body Focused Repetitive Behavior (BFRBs)

But now, you're ready to understand it—and finally break free from the cycle of nail biting, skin picking, or hair pulling.

Skin picking (Excoriation Disorder) and hair pulling (Trichotillomania) aren’t just bad habits—they’re body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) that can feel compulsive, confusing, and deeply distressing. You may find yourself avoiding social situations because of visible marks, bald patches, or missing brows and lashes. You might feel stuck in front of the mirror, losing track of time as you search for that "just right" hair to pull.
It’s not about willpower. It’s not about shame. And you’re not alone.

You’ve probably tried to stop—again and again—only to end up feeling frustrated and hopeless.
But healing is possible.
With the right tools, support, and understanding, you can move forward—and reconnect with the version of yourself that’s been buried under guilt, anxiety, and secrecy.
