from Part II - Interventions and Skill Building: Selecting and Using Interventions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2025
In this chapter we review the gamut of senses that can be involved in BFRBs including, touch, sight, taste, sound, and smell. In addition, targeted solutions are offered to help the reader relieve the sensations that might trigger a BFRB, while also increasing positive sensory input to help settle one’s nervous system and foster desirable internal states. The focus of much of this chapter is to help the reader achieve a balanced and satisfied nervous system. So often, people engage in actions to address imbalances in the nervous system, without even realizing why they are doing them. BFRBs are often attempts to achieve a desirable sensation or ways to relieve undesirable ones. By directly addressing sensory experiences in healthy ways, BFRBs will weaken because the function of them has become less necessary.
