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
89: A hidden behaviour that's keeping you stuck in picking & pulling
When you STOP venting, you'll take huge steps towards accessing freedom from chronic skin picking and hair pulling.
And when I say "venting", I mean the cathartic act of complaining or offloading about your problems onto a loving and listening ear.
We've all done it/do it. Don't even try to deny it!
I struggled with chronic skin picking for 15 years, and venting was one of those hidden behaviours that was holding me back.
Is it doing to you what it did to me?
Find out in this episode what venting really is, how it might be affecting you in BIG ways, and how to transform this cathartic yet limiting behaviour into healthy communication, wholesome emotional regulation, and powerful growth.
While you may not be able to "just stop" picking and pulling right now. Many other areas of growth are within your control. This is one of them!
Listen in to heal 💛.
