What the page covers
Trichotillomania (hair-pulling) and excoriation / dermatillomania (skin-picking) are the two most common BFRBs; the family also includes nail-biting and cheek- or lip-biting. They often start as a way to manage tension, boredom, or intense focus, and a large share of episodes run on autopilot — many people only notice after damage is done.
Three try-today tools (EN; KO mirrors):
- Track your triggers for a few days before trying to stop. Map when the urge spikes instead of white-knuckling first.
- Build a “competing response.” A substitute action that occupies the hands/mouth when the urge hits.
- Make the behavior physically harder to do. Barriers and friction beat willpower alone.
Linked Compass tools: Grounding & Breathing for peak urge moments; Thought Record for shame/self-criticism after an episode. Crisis lines retained.
