Sometimes a big piece of our puzzle to healing from a BFRB* is that life is chaotic! We often find ourselves surviving instead of thriving.

And it's not because you aren't doing enough, or because you aren't strong enough, or you don't have the willpower.

It's simply because you're lacking a powerful, foundational system that helps you to get shit done in a way that is flexible and can account for the unexpected...

Because life doesn't always go to plan and without the right system to support us it gets incredibly overwhelming...

Which leads to a picking, pulling, or biting session to cope.

In this episode, Raffaela shares with you the framework for a powerful yet simple system that she uses for herself and her clients to bring the chaos of life into order so that you can feel in control, on top of things, and unshakable.

Perfectionism plays quite a significant role in your healing journey from your BFRB*.

If we don't learn how to overcome our perfectionistic ways then it's going to be very hard for us to release the need to engage in self-destructive behaviours like chronic skin picking, hair pulling, and nail biting.

In this episode we look at WHERE perfectionism comes from, what it has to do with your BFRB, and one unbelievably simple yet powerful exercise you can do to help yourself break free from perfectionism so that you can thrive.

WARNING: If you're looking for a "quick fix" this episode is not for you.

Let's be real, if preventing falling into yet another picking, pulling, or biting session were easy... this episode wouldn't be necessary.

If we could "just stop" we would.

Most information and support you'll find on managing and healing from a BFRB are simply a collection of creative ways to AVOID your BFRB which only works for so long... until we snap and relapse back into the behaviour we have been avoiding.

There's a far more effective path that will give you back your power and help you to gradually reduce the length, severity, and frequency of BFRB* sessions until it is no longer a part of your life.

All is revealed in this episode!
