A smart bracelet that detects repetitive movements, such as hair pulling, nail biting, and skin picking, which increases self-awareness of the behaviors.
In addition to the Keen smart bracelet, HabitAware offers many other great resources for trichotillomania and other BFRBs. One of these resources is the "Kid Hangouts" - a virtual group for youth with BFRBs ages 7-13 that meets once a month via Zoom. I am proud and honored to be the facilitator of these groups!
