Body-focused Repetitive Behaviour

A Grow topic for picking, biting, pulling, scratching, and other body-focused repetitive behaviours that often intensify with stress, boredom, sensory tension, or ADHD restlessness.

Why it exists

Created for men who feel embarrassed by BFRBs and need practical awareness, substitution, trigger control, and support options without shame.

Why it is made this way

It treats the behaviour as a regulation pattern, not a disgusting habit. The topic covers activating states, early signs, competing responses, environment changes, scripts, clinical support, and alternatives because the pattern needs interruption and replacement.

Use it well

Use it after an episode or when your hands start searching. Identify the trigger state, add a competing response, change the environment, and use the deeper sections to reduce repeat conditions.
