Comprehensive Behavioral Model (ComB) for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRB)
What is the Comprehensive Behavioral Model (ComB) for BFRBs and how can it help me?
ComB is a therapy approach designed to help people who have repetitive behaviors like hair pulling or skin picking. It helps you understand what triggers these behaviors—like certain sensations, thoughts, feelings, or situations—and teaches you ways to interrupt the behavior and replace it with healthier habits.
What does a session look like?
In a session, the therapist works with you to explore what sensations, thoughts, emotions, and environments trigger your behavior. Together, you’ll map out patterns that lead to urges and develop personalized strategies. For example, you might learn to use a textured object to replace the feeling that leads to pulling or practice mindfulness to notice urges before acting on them.
How does it help?
You gain awareness of your personal triggers for the behavior.
You learn specific tools to interrupt urges before the behavior happens.
You develop healthier habits that satisfy sensory or emotional needs without causing harm.
You feel more in control and confident managing your urges over time.
ComB therapy helps you understand and manage repetitive behaviors by identifying what sets off your urges and teaching you customized strategies to stop these behaviors and replace them with healthier alternatives. This can lead to fewer episodes and a greater sense of control over your actions.
