Take Back Your Power from BFRBs
with Joan Kaylor, MSEd, NCC, LPC, DCEP
Archived: Become a TLC Member to view!
Anyone who has ever been touched by pulling or picking has experienced the pain and devastation of not being able to stop, or of not being able to help a child, spouse, partner or loved one suffering with these problems. The frustration of hands that are out of control is just as horrendous as any chemical addiction, perhaps worse because we don't have to buy our substance of choice. We have it with us at all times. Joan Kaylor, who herself is pull free after living with trichotillomania for many years, will share strategies for maintaining motivation through recovery, how to stop judging yourself, setting attainable goals, and how to continue using strategies even when you think they aren't working (or aren't working fast enough). This webinar is correctly named "Take Back Your Power from BFRBs" because you can take back your power.

Patients with an ADHD diagnosis may find attention-deficit issues significantly interfere with successful treatment of BFRBs. This workshop will focus on poor executive functioning, a core deficit of ADHD. Executive functioning can be defined as the brain based skills you need to complete a task. Participants will learn about the components of executive func tioning and ways to improve executive functioning using cognitive and behavioral (CBT) interventions.While this program is most suited for parents of children/adolescents with BFRBs and ADHD, adults may find it helpful as well.
