Join us and share your thoughts and read about other people's experiences on:
- What stage in your journey are you on right now
- What do you consider to be normal hair and/or skin?
Blogs
Read and learn about excoriation disorder and trichotillomania from a variety of perspectives and on a variety of topics, including:
- What is Normal Skin/Hair? - Consider what it means to have normal skin and/or hair, and if, when it comes to our bodies, perfection figures as something real.
- The Urge to Pull/Pick as Information & Guide for Action - Our emotions, feelings and sensations are not only some strange things we feel, they also carry significant information. Learn how to understand your emotions and see how to consider what your urge to pick/pull points you to.
- Train Your Perception - Learn how long-term struggles with body-focused repetitive behaviors alter your perception of your skin/hair and what you can do to change that.
New Features in the VIP Lounge
For our VIP Members, we've just opened two new sections with additional resources.
If you prefer to listen instead or read, or listen before you read, you can now check out our audio library in the VIP Lounge. All the blogs published so far have been recorded and additional audio material will be added over time including interviews and conversations on BFRB-related topics.
Another addition to our offerings is the downloads section where you can download booklets with instructions for coping skills, guided meditations and self-soothing exercises to help you further on your healing journey.
You can join our VIP Lounge for only $10/month and help us provide even more resources to all those who struggle with BFRBS but can't find or afford a therapist.
Our Plans for November
FREE Self-Compassion Course - All our members will get access to a free 3-week self-compassion course that includes video lectures, pdf handouts and guided meditations. VIP Lounge members will receive free advice and Q&A throughout the duration of the course. The course will be available for self-paced work later on.
Audio blogs - VIP Lounge members will see a new page where every blog will be available for listening in an audio version, in addition to the standard texts available to everyone.
TWO Webinars - STEP 2 as part of our Four Steps series for self-help (on discipline, patience and BFRBs) as well as a bonus webinar towards the end of the month. The topic will be a surprise. :-)
Prompts - Four more journaling prompts to help keep you accountable and to share your experiences.
FREE Habit Reversal Training Handout for VIP Lounge members- an e-book with detailed step-by-step instructions for a self-paced version of HRT and all the necessary worksheets to get you started.
Everyone is able to join for free, so don’t hesitate!

October Webinar Now Available:
Self-Help Journey with BFRB, pt. 1
We are excited to announce a new series of webinars on self-help methods for body-focused repetitive behaviors. Furthermore, part 1 is available right now for BFRB Club members!
The series will contain four parts, dealing with different facets of body-focused repetitive behaviors and how to use a variety of psychotherapeutic techniques to get your picking and/or pulling under control. If you join the club, there might be a mini webinar coming up in the next two weeks for those of you who have already gone through habit reversal, as a special treat.
The first webinar in the series deals with the habitual aspect of BFRBs and how to address them on your own, through a simplified version of habit reversal training. The webinar is made to be easily applied and flexible enough for everyone to customize it make it their own.
