BFRBs 

Clare Mackay has studied psychology & neuroscience, looking at diseases & disorders, along with ageing & dementia.

She herself lives with trichotillomania, and explains all about BFRBs, body focused repetitive behaviours, and how they can impact peoples' lives.

Clare wants to help people overcome the shame and embarrassment that often accompanies these disorders, and states that one in 20 people live with this.

We discuss how reducing the stigma around these behaviours can help to raise awareness and reduce feelings of shame.

In sharing her own stories of the good, the bad & the ugly encounters she has faced, we also look at how we can support people and ensure that they can have a positive experience, and how having a negative experience can be life changing for some, just as a good one can be.
