Has anyone heard of TLC?

I am new to this but wondering if anyone has heard of TLC. What is the difference between this and that? (it is bfrb.org)

I had never heard of TLC before reading your comment, but I just took a brief look at the website. I did go through this program though. This program has a specific structure, and is based on Mindfulness based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. There are informational sessions that you read and then worksheets with questions that you reply to and use as a tool to go back and forth with your therapist. It looks like that website directs you to a therapist who is familiar with bfrbs, but does not provide a specific program structure like this one does (if you choose to do the 'program'). You can always just use the website to read the blog and forum (which looks similar to TLC), and can download the app for self-monitoring. It also looks like TLC covers a broader range of conditions, whereas this site is more specific to skin picking, there is another site (which appears to be the same folks and looks like the same program with a different focus) called trichstop which focuses on hair pulling.
