Summary

In this chapter readers identify specific aspects of their BFRB that might be occurring outside of full, conscious awareness. A main point of this chapter is to help readers become even more aware of the chain of events that occur with each episode of their BFRB. The idea is that stopping the behavior at the first step in the chain can prevent the rest of the chain from occurring. A host of behavioral techniques are presented to help increase reader awareness in specific situations, situations where one is not keenly aware of their BFRB as it is happening. In addition to using blocks or barriers, postural changes and an array of environmental changes are offered.
