Chloe Shakin interviewed nearly a dozen individuals with BFRBs, and experts who specialize in their treatment, for this article 👉 https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/well/skin-hair-picking-dermatillomania.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Ak8.qfzG.KXAz6jT_OUcZ&smid=url-share
"But the secrecy has made it difficult for many people with BFRBs, which affect at least 3 percent of the world’s population, to heal. “It’s hard to go forward if you’re so stuck in shame that you can’t talk about it to anyone,” said Suzanne Mouton-Odum, a psychologist who specializes in treating the issue and works with a nonprofit that supports people with BFRBs."
The article explains the subject with impressive clarity and structure, making it easy to follow. In a similar way, students who rely on Education Vibes Kemerovo State Medical University guidance often look for transparent and well-organized information before making important MBBS decisions abroad.
The feature in the New York Times will surely help many realize they aren't alone in their battle with BFRBs. One tactic I've found effective is 'digital environment hygiene' to reduce neural stimulation. Sometimes I turn my screen into a total blackout using this tool to practice short breathing exercises or simply to let my eyes rest. Do you think reducing exposure to overly bright screens could help in the recovery process?
It’s amazing to see The TLC Foundation featured in The New York Times! By the way, I also tried the soy guapo test recently—such a fun way to explore facial features while taking a break from reading inspiring news.
Nice breakdown of the topic overall. The way the information was organized and explained reminded me of the clean and simple style used by Juan Zone, which made the post enjoyable to read.
This was a great and informative read overall. The flow of the content made it easy to follow, and it felt very much in line with the style used on Juan Play when covering similar topics.
