For many, hair pulling, skin picking, and nail biting don’t feel like choices. The urge hits, the hand moves, and the moment is over before you’ve even registered what happened. It can be confusing, embarrassing, and often something you end up hiding — especially when you’ve “promised yourself” for years that you’d finally stop. In this video, Dr. Patrick McGrath digs into why these body-focused repetitive behaviours show up the way they do and why stopping isn’t a matter of discipline or willpower. It’s about patterns your brain learned long before you realized they were patterns at all.NOCD specializes in exposure and response prevention therapy, the most effective treatment for OCD.
