Wouldn't it feel amazing to be free from the burden of your BFRB?

You are not alone. We bring together adults who are suffering with hair pulling (trichotillomania), skin picking (dermatillomania), nail biting (onychophagia) and other Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) who are ready to take control of unwanted behaviors to build relationships with those on the same path, share stories, & practice healthier habits so that you can gain confidence, learn strategies, create lasting lifestyle change, and move from hurting to healing.

What Members Are Saying

Julie's Collective icon"If I could go back to my younger self and just let her know that TRICHOTILLOMANIA does not define her, that she isn’t the only one, that it’s okay to to not have perfect eyebrows, and etc etc. It is hard to believe that I have struggled for 40 years with this habit... It has taken me this support group and the Keen bracelet family to realize those truths." – Julie

Dana's collective icon"I no longer feel helpless.  I have a bracelet that keeps me AWARE. When I am AWARE, I don’t pull.  When I don’t pull, life is better.  And, I am not alone.  I have my husband and friends in this with me now.  I have Aneela, Ellen, and the BRFB Collective.  I am humble and grateful and I am AWARE. And I hope the same for you." – Dana
