About The BFRB Workbook for Teens & Young Adults

This workbook is for you if:
· You are missing out on living the life you want to live because of your body-focused repetitive behavior (BFRB).
· You are tired of trying to manage your BFRB on your own with little success and are ready to find something that actually works.
· You feel embarrassed, frustrated, or ashamed of your BFRB and its effects on your life.

Within this book you will find a 10-week plan for recovery written by psychologist Laura Chackes, as well as practical exercises and access to meditation recordings. There are also contributions from Lauren McKeaney, founder of The Picking Me Foundation, sharing her lived experience of BFRBs and the advice that helped in her recovery.

This workbook will give you the tools to manage not only your BFRB, but also your thoughts and feelings about other stressors in your life. It's time to end the cycle for good!
