This workbook provides evidence-based tools consistent with the most up-to-date behavioral science to examine your BFRB in a new way, shift perspective on how you relate to your BFRB experience, reduce the behavior with individually tailored interventions, and transform your life and sense of self for the better.

...A game changer in the BFRB community. This book is well written, a joy to read. It opens an insightful dialogue not just with people living and/or recovering from BFRB but, delves deeply into the daily internal and external challenges that potentially can affect their internal-external world-view of life. The strength of this book is its ability to take the sufferer through meaningful exercises to affirm and confirm that living with BRFB is only one facet of who they really are! The book clearly helps them, through their BRFB journey and to love themselves. It will be a great navigation tool through the acceptance process. Moreover, it serves as a foundational guide for families and friends to understand their loved one's BFRB experience. -- Bianca Lyder, Founder and President of The Lyder Foundation for BFRBs
