  • Summary

    This chapter assists the reader in identifying their specific High-Risk situations (situations which put them at risk of pulling or picking). In addition to identifying these trigger environments, they also explore why they engage in their BFRB. Antecedents, Behaviors, and Consequences in these specific contexts are explored to help them understand the function that their BFRB serves in their life. With this understanding, they then are able to consider some alternate ways to get these needs met. Readers also identify some possible emotional and cognitive barriers that may get in the way of achieving their goals. Finally, the concept of relapse prevention is introduced to the reader, laying the groundwork for future struggles with adherence to the plan and, hopefully, avoiding a relapse.
