The BFRB Podcast Episode 1

Welcome to the BFRB Podcast with your host Jose Alvear, LMSW. In this premiere episode, I talk about body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) such as skin picking and hair pulling (trichotillomania). I also discuss how these disorders impact social, physical and mental health functioning. Finally, I open up about my own struggles with skin picking disorder, how I started the blog Diary of a Skin Picker and how I came to be the host of this show.
