Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) like hair-pulling, skin-picking, and nail-biting are often misunderstood as simple "bad habits"—but they’re much more than that. These behaviors are complex, diagnosable conditions that can bring feelings of shame, frustration, and confusion.

This digital sketchnote and interactive zine breaks down expert insights from Dr. Laura Chackes, a psychologist specializing in OCD and BFRBs, to offer clarity and support. Inside, you'll find:

• How BFRBs function (and why stopping isn’t just about willpower)
• Common myths debunked—including the idea that trauma is always the cause
• What effective treatment looks like today

Suggested Use: Designed to be a gentle, research-backed resource, this sketchnote and zine aims to reduce stigma, increase understanding, and point toward practical paths for care.
