Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors Group (BFRB)

BFRB is a general term for a group of related disorders that includes hair pulling (trichotillomania), skin picking (dermatillomania), and other, less-recognized behaviors like nail biting and cheek biting, etc. These behaviors are not habits or tics; rather, they are complex psychological disorders that cause people to repeatedly touch their hair and body in ways that result in physical damage. BFRB recovery is strongly supported by building bridges of communication, both to ourselves and to others. That's what this group is all about.
