S1E52: Water Cooler Chats: When Hot Girl Summer Meets BFRBs!
Join your host, Nicole Morris, LMFT and Mental Health Correspondent, for another chat around the water cooler! This week, Nicole is talking about BFRBs in the summertime! If you aren’t familiar with Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs), consider this a special invitation to learn more! Because Nicole’s guess is that the OCD Family Community runs into this OCD-Related Disorder more often than folks realize! So join the conversation! It’s a brief, yet broad overview to bring awareness, resources and support to our BFRB and OCD Family community!
