Habit Reversal Training for Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors
Do you find yourself picking at your skin? Maybe you noticed some hair pulling that is bothersome to you. Or you’ve created a bald spot. Do you bite your nails to the point they bleed? Or do you notice biting the inside of your cheek? Or picking at your lips? Do you pull your eyebrows or lashes out?
If any of these behaviors are bothering you Habit Reversal Training may be your answer.
What is Habit Reversal Training?
Habit Reversal Training (HRT) is an evidence-based behavioral therapy designed to help individuals overcome repetitive, unwanted behaviors such as hair pulling (trichotillomania), skin picking (excoriation disorder), nail biting, and tics. HRT works by increasing awareness of the behavior and teaching practical skills to interrupt and replace it with healthier alternatives.
Through a structured, step-by-step process, HRT empowers you to:
Identify triggers and patterns behind your habits
Build awareness of when and how the behavior occurs
Develop competing responses—new behaviors that replace the old
Strengthen motivation and support to maintain change
Whether you’ve been struggling for years or just recently noticed unwanted habits forming, Habit Reversal Training offers a proven path toward long-lasting behavioral change.
