S4E151: OCRD Series IV, Part I: BFRBs Explained: Lived Experience Meets Psychological Expertise to Benefit Families
In this episode of our 4th Annual OCRD Series, we explore trichotillomania, skin picking, nail biting, and other BFRBs from two essential perspectives: someone living with these challenges and a treating psychologist specializing in OCD and related disorders.
Whether you're a family member, partner, parent, or chosen family trying to understand BFRBs, or someone experiencing these behaviors yourself, this conversation offers real insights into what helps and what doesn't. Special guests, Jason Yu and Dr. Lisa Conway, discuss common struggles and goals while honoring the lived experience that statistics and clinical language can't capture. So join us for the conversation for lots of hope and practical guidance for loved ones and chosen family supporting BFRB warriors!
