Welcome! 
This weekend’s program was created with one primary goal: to provide you with the very best information available about living with, and healing from, BFRBs. The schedule aims to accommodate the interests of those new to the conference as well as veteran attendees, individuals of any age who have a BFRB, parents, supporters, researchers, and clinicians.

Please know that you are not required to pre-select the workshops you’d like to attend. This schedule is provided as a guide. We do not track the number of people attending any given workshop. In fact, we encourage flexibility - you may change your mind about what you’d like to attend at any given time. If you are in a session that does not feel like a good fit, feel free to try something else.

You’ll choose one workshop per session. TLC staff and volunteers will be available at the conference Information Desk to answer any questions you have about the schedule. We also encourage you to join our conference Facebook group to connect with other attendees, ask questions, seek advice, or just say hello! If you did not receive an invitation to the group, please send us a message: programs@bfrb.org.

Schedule subject to change.

This interactive workshop will focus on the "panic" center of the brain and provide concrete ways to self-soothe. Attendees will learn about the fight, flight, and freeze response of the limbic system and work to develop their own physical/mental self-soothing plan. Attendees will also learn about the role of the frontal lobe in the brain and how to calm the dreaded panic voice in their head.
