Everyone has their own special way to self-soothe when they are feeling stressed, anxious or even bored. Some people like to read, others tap their fingers to a rhythm, and others write, draw or take deep breaths. But what happens when your soothing behavior is uncontrollable and causing more discomfort than relief?

If you struggle with nail biting (onychophagia), skin picking (dermatillomania), or hair pulling (trichotillomania), you might have a Body Focused Repetitive Behavior (BFRB). This book explores what a BFRB is, how you are not alone in the struggle, and how you can take control.

What happens when you can't stop picking your skin, pulling your hair, or biting your nails? What is it called, and why does it matter? “Everyone Picks” offers a simple explanation of body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) for all ages to feel a little less alone on their mental health journey.
