Back in March, our Peer Coaches hosted a webinar exploring the ins-and-outs of our BFRB community, the HabitAware Collective.
What unfolded went far beyond a simple walkthrough.
Towards the end of the session, a few attendees chose to speak up—not to ask questions, but to share something far more powerful. They were already members of the HabitAware Collective. They didn't need the tour. They joined just to share the impact ofhow the Collective had genuinely changed their relationship with body-focused repetitive behaviors with people who were considering joining.
We were overjoyed, and moved. We didn't expect them to join, and definitely didn't expect them to share their personal experiences!
BFRBs often carry a heavy weight of shame and isolation. But when that silence is replaced with honest, compassionate conversation—when you’re surrounded by people who truly understand—something shifts. Barriers soften. Self-judgment loosens its grip. Change becomes not just possible, but shared.
Now, hear directly from the members who spoke up:
Are you an adult dealing with hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting, or another BFRB? Come join us in the HabitAware Collective for support and guidance.
Are you a kid or teen? We've got something for you too! Join a Kid or Teen Hangout, led by a Peer Coach.
