Trichotillomania Support
for all BFRBs BFRBs are Body Focused Repetitive Behaviours such as hair pulling and skin picking.

BFRB Recovery Courses for Hair Pulling and Skin Picking

Our online BFRB recovery courses help people overcome hair pulling (trichotillomania), skin picking (dermatillomania), nail biting and related body-focused repetitive behaviours. Learn at your own pace from people who understand recovery first-hand.

 

Online courses for BFRBs are a great way to trigger hair pulling recovery or stop skin picking.  The best part, we get it because we’ve GOT IT. We offer coach-guided, face-to-face coaching for BFRBs or a self-guided course for recovery from BFRBs. By building a foundation of knowledge before sessions you can spend calls discussing your own life and circumstances. We focus on what helps you specifically, rather than explaining terminology or answering common questions such as “Will my hair grow back after pulling?”.   This will save you money and help make your coaching a safe and supportive environment.
 
We suggest creating a folder containing all important and relevant information for you that you can refer back to and add to as your recovery progresses. This folder can also contain a list of your triggers, strategies and coping mechanisms, and contact details for people you can reach out to in times of need. These will include your specialist BFRB coach. 
 
All courses we have listed below are run by course leaders who have BFRBs and are in recovery. They know what you’re going through, and can help you through the ups and downs of your journey. Unless specified, courses work for all BFRBs.
