How We Treat BFRBs
We use a combination of structured, evidence-based methods tailored to your unique needs to help you overcome BFRBs.
Comprehensive Behavioral Model (ComB)
An evidence-based approach for treating BFRBs by identifying emotional, environmental, and sensory triggers. Combines CBT techniques with personalized coping strategies to replace harmful habits with healthier alternatives.
Habit Reversal Training (HRT)
Increases awareness of the behavior, identifies early warning signs, and teaches alternative responses. Helps clients break the automatic cycle of BFRBs.
