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 resilien

You've spent months, years, if not decades, trying to figure out why you pick, pull, or bite at your body... And yet you STILL do it. Why? What's the missing piece to this infuriating puzzle? It's actually pretty straigh
Something weird happened with this week's episode - 102: Hoping it will get better but it never does - only 1 minute and 23 seconds of the episode was uploaded. Yes. Very odd. I can't tell you why (because I've got absol
If there's one experience we can all agree on... It's the feeling of hoping things will get better. Hoping that this time will be different. That you'll stop picking. You'll let your skin heal, and you'll finally be free
