Watch the episode right here:
It's amazing how common conditions like Trichotillomania, Dermatillomania, and Onychophagia truly are. Unfortunately, millions of people live their lives under the assumption that these are just "bad habits" instead of understanding that they are mental health conditions that can be healed. We are so thankful to Innovation Nation for giving us the opportunity to raise awareness of Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors and HabitAware's solution to stop hair pulling, skin picking and nail biting.
So many people wrote and shared that they learned of their life-long condition through this powerful episode. This is the importance of getting our voices out there and telling our stories, because we'll find out that there's an incredible amount of people who can relate, and who feel empowered through others bravery!
To anyone suffering with a body-focused repetitive behavior, you are not alone!
Our Keen2 smart bracelet is a TIME Magazine Best Invention because it uses gesture detection to increase awareness of these subconscious behaviors. When Keen2 vibrates it create space to allow for healthier replacement strategies. With practice, you can retrain the brain to stop relying on hair pulling, skin picking or nail biting for your self soothing needs.
