This first part of the webinar introduces Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and its core concepts, with a focus on psychological flexibility as a key coping skill for BFRBs. We’ll explore how values guide meaningful change, how cognitive defusion helps loosen the grip of urges and thoughts, and how committed action supports consistent, values-based behavior rather than perfection or control.

Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) are often misunderstood and deeply isolating.In this webinar, we’ll clearly explain what BFRBs are, why they happen, and how they differ from “bad habits” or lack of control. With a special focus on skin picking and hair pulling, we’ll explore common patterns, emotional and sensory drivers, and evidence-based approaches that support real change — with compassion, not shame.

Join us for a live Q&A on Excoriation (skin picking) with Laura Santner, an expert in treating body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs). Whether you're seeking support for yourself or a loved one, you'll learn about treatment options, coping tools, and ways to manage the emotional challenges of skin picking.Have questions?
