Body awareness can interrupt the cycle of body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs). Good sleep, nutrition, and movement are integral to recovery from BFRBs. Developing mindfulness can help individuals recognize early warning signs, allowing for intervention before acting on impulses. A regulated body promotes a regulated brain, preventing intensified BFRB urges. Soothing the senses through sensory strategies can aid in meeting sensory needs and facilitate better coping mechanisms.
Developing mindful attention to the body through attention to the breath, gentle movement, or mindfulness practices can help people more easily notice early warning signs.
When you don't get enough sleep, don't provide yourself with good nutrition, don't move your body enough, or are feeling tense, your nervous system is more likely to go into overdrive.
Supporting the body through sensory strategies, like fidget tools or calming scents, can provide alternative ways to meet sensory needs without causing harm.
Body awareness can interrupt the automatic cycle involved in body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) and support treatment and recovery.
