Beyond Skin Picking & Hair Pulling
Beyond Skin Picking & Hair Pulling is a podcast for high-achieving women who want freedom from their BFRB*; they want more authenticity, deeper confidence, to feel powerfully secure in who they are, so they can do more of what they love.
Hosted by Raffaela Marie - speaker, mentor, and creator of the STRENGTH Method - who overcame chronic skin picking, selective mutism, social anxiety, and depression, not by forcing willpower, but by healing from the inside out and addressing the true root causes.
Each episode offers a no-fluff look at healing from body-focused repetitive behaviours through the lens of self-confidence and authenticity. Raffaela blends psychology, neuroscience, and real-world experience to uncover what’s truly driving the urge to pick, and how to find lasting freedom from it.
Listeners walk away with tangible tools they can apply immediately to reduce urges, regulate emotions, and build emotional resilience. Beyond symptom management, this podcast helps you reconnect to your authentic self, feel grounded in your worth, and create lasting freedom from BFRBs*.
If you’re ready to stop performing, start healing, and build confidence that feels real, you’re in the right place.
*BFRB = Body Focused Repetitive Behaviours like chronic skin picking, nail/cheek biting, and hair pulling.
Beyond Skin Picking & Hair Pulling
85: "Just Stopping" Doesn't Work... Here's What Does
Most people try to “fix” skin picking or hair pulling by focusing on the behaviour, but that’s why we stay stuck in it.
In this episode, I share a radically different approach: how looking at your life as a whole can reveal the real root of your BFRB (body-focused repetitive behaviour) and what’s keeping you stuck in the cycle. You’ll walk away seeing your healing in a completely new light! One that’s grounded, empowering, and deeply personal.
Listen to discover:
• Why surface-level tips don’t create sustainable results
• The hidden stressors silently fueling your picking urges
• How to begin healing in a way that actually lasts
