Understanding OCD & BFRBs: From Obsessions to Compulsions

In this session, originally developed for our skin picking community, we’ll dive into the complexities of OCD, with a focus on how it can overlap with Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs). While the emphasis is on understanding OCD, we’ll also address questions like, Do I have OCD, a BFRB, or both? as these behaviors often intersect. Dr. Sofia Wenzler will guide us through common OCD triggers, clarify the key distinctions between OCD and BFRBs, and explore treatment approaches designed to help manage these conditions effectively.
