Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors

Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) are “self-grooming” behaviors that are repeated compulsively, often times causing damage to the body or resulting in significant medical concerns.

Common Examples:

  • Geometric drawing of an outline square with sections divided by vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines.

    Trichotillomania

    Hair pulling (hair on scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, etc.)

  • Dermatillomania

    Skin picking or excoriation disorder

  • Geometric drawing of an outline square with sections divided by vertical, horizontal, and circle lines.

    Biting/chewing

    Cheek, lip, tongue biting or chewing

  • Geometric drawing of an outline square with sections divided by vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines.

    Onychotillomania

How do we treat?

Habit Reversal Training (HRT) is an evidence-based behavioral treatment for BFRBs. HRT helps you better understand when and why these behaviors happen, identify triggers and early warning signs, and develop healthier ways to respond to urges.

Treatment typically includes increasing awareness of the behavior, identifying patterns and triggers, practicing competing responses, and learning strategies to manage urges without engaging in the BFRB.
