Description

In this episode, we sit down with Julie Mason, a passionate advocate and lived-experience expert, to explore Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours (BFRBs) — including hair pulling and skin picking. Julie opens up about her personal journey, shedding light on the emotional and neurological components of BFRBs and why they are so often misunderstood.

Together, we discuss what BFRBs are, how they can show up, the he shame many individuals face, and the importance of compassionate support. Whether you’re a clinician, someone experiencing BFRBs yourself, or supporting a loved one, this episode offers insight, hope, and tools to help break the silence and reduce stigma.
