Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors
Clara Kuntz
Psychologist, PhD
Body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) are repetitive self-grooming actions such as hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting, or scraping, which can lead to physical harm. These behaviors can feel difficult to control and are often driven—consciously or unconsciously—by urges, tension, boredom, emotional distress, or sensory discomfort, sometimes providing temporary relief or satisfaction. BFRBs are not merely “bad habits”; they are recognized mental health conditions that can cause significant emotional distress, interfere with daily life, and impact well-being.
