Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors


Skin picking and hair pulling are two of the most common body focused repetitive behaviors we see in therapy. Another example of a body focused repetitive behavior that is nail biting. Body focused repetitive behaviors result in a sense of release of tension. CBT is used to treat these behaviors by helping individuals understand their triggers and then engage in different behaviors instead, often ones that are more healthy or adaptive.
