Break Free from Hair Pulling & Skin Picking

You're not broken. You're not alone. And most importantly - you can heal. BFRB treatment combines science with compassion to help you reclaim control over your body and your life.

Understanding Your BFRB Brain

Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors aren't about willpower or self-control. They're neurological patterns that develop as coping mechanisms. Your brain learned these behaviors to manage stress, anxiety, or overwhelm - and with the right approach, it can learn new, healthier patterns.

Common BFRBs We Treat:

Trichotillomania: Hair pulling from scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, or body hair
Dermatillomania: Skin picking, especially knuckles and perceived blemishes
Other behaviors: Nail biting, cheek biting, nose picking

Why Traditional Approaches Fall Short

"Just stop" doesn't work because BFRBs operate below conscious awareness. You need interventions that work with both your conscious mind (awareness, strategies) and your subconscious patterns (triggers, rewards, automatic responses).

That's why Arolyn combines multiple evidence-based approaches: hypnotherapy to reprogram subconscious patterns, CBT for conscious awareness, and habit reversal training for practical strategies.

"I thought I'd be pulling my hair forever. After 6 months of treatment with Arolyn, I have a full head of hair for the first time in 10 years. More importantly, I have peace with myself."

Why Choose Arolyn for BFRB Treatment?

Arolyn understands that BFRBs aren't just "bad habits" - they're complex neurological patterns that require specialized treatment. As both a licensed therapist and certified hypnotherapist, she offers a unique combination of evidence-based interventions.

"BFRBs are often rooted in the subconscious mind. Traditional talk therapy alone isn't enough. We need to work with the deeper patterns that drive these behaviors."
