105: Why you pick even on a good day and how to stop

It's infuriating and confusing.Why in the world, after a great day, do you end up ruining it with a big old session of picking, pulling, or biting?The answer is actually pretty simple - you're disregulated.AND the best way you've learnt how to calm yourself down is to squish your emotions back down into their box rather than feel them fully.The problem is, knowing the "how" of meditation, breathwork, journaling, and going for a walk doesn't help you to know the "how" of feeling fully.Logical understanding is not enough. There needs to be an emotional connection and understanding between your brain and your body.In this episode:You'll cultivate a deep understanding of why you pick on a good dayThe broader consequences of squashing your emotionsand I walk you through how to feel fully through cultivating a connection between your mind and bodyEnjoy 💛💌Share your story - Book your FREE BFPA* Support Call with me🌟Download your FREE Guide to Stop Skin Picking Using Somatics📝FREE Holistic Skin Picking & Hair Pulling Assessment - (this is no longer available.
