Welcome to the Recovery Library
Self-help for trichotillomania and BFRBs ... browse our BFRB books in a safe space, because recovery is not about finding one permanent and perfect solution. There's no magic fix, but there are many resources which can help in BFRB recovery and get the family talking.
You've stepped into a lucid space where you can absorb information without interference. Use our calm and quiet library to discover the ideas, tools and approaches that feel right for you. Apply urge reduction techniques and relapse prevention at your own pace.
Over the years, we’ve created a growing collection of self-help resources for BFRBs and recovery, including books, worksheets, guides, exercises and practical tools for both adults and children. Some are designed to help you understand your habits. Others will help you reduce urges, build confidence, manage difficult emotions or develop new ways of responding to challenging situations.
Projects in the pipeline are related to relapse prevention so pop in and check from time-to-time.

No two people find recovery from BFRBs in exactly the same way. Our unique selling point is that we have specialised in this field for over 3 decades and gathered information from each person in relation to obsessive behaviours, anxiety and shame, specific to BFRBs.
What works brilliantly for one person may do very little for another. That’s why we believe in offering a variety of approaches rather than insisting there is only one path to recovery.
Think of our peaceful library as a toolbox built in a safe space for you. Nobody walks in to the library and reads every word of each book ... browse, get a feeling for the space, the paper, the people ... and this means don’t need to use every tool. You don’t need to use them in any particular order. You are free to explore, experiment and discover what works best for you.
Some resources may help immediately. Others may become useful later in the process. Each of the resources in this library were created from conversations with people living with Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours, alongside the experiences of coaches, professionals and members of our wider community. They are practical, supportive and designed to be used in real life. Whether you are just beginning to explore recovery or have been working on it for years, we hope you find something here that helps.
Take a look around, be curious and choose whatever feels most helpful today. After all, recovery isn’t built from one big breakthrough. It’s built from many small discoveries, repeated over time.
