About this course
For decades, treatment for body-focused repetitive behaviors was treated almost exclusively with cognitive-behavioral therapy, which has led to mixed results, including persistent relapses. This workshop will introduce therapists to the theory and practice of an integrative psychodynamic approach. This model is grounded in attachment theory and prioritizes both the exploration of the psychosocial roots of these behaviors and importance of the therapeutic relationship in reducing shame and building new emotional regulation strategies. Integration of mind, body, spirit and skin in the therapy room allows for exploration of the four main triggers of picking and pulling: isolation, frustration, boredom, and feeling trapped, and can lead to sustainable behavioral change.
Target Audience
This educational activity is intended for behavioral health professionals, including Psychologists, Social Workers, Counselors, and MFT's.
