Chronic skin picking, hair pulling, & nail biting are the result of a disregulated nervous system.So it only makes sense that part of healing involves learning how to regulate it.This means learning how to slow down. AKA - Rest.Easy peasy, right? Right??Unfortunately, for people like you and me, we didn't really learn how to switch off.Our system is constantly on go, and so it never feels like the right time to stop, or when you do manage it, it's accompanied with anxiety, restlessness, and guilt.Don't panic. You're not broken. You just need an actual system and practice that can help you to learn how it's done. In this episode, we dive deeper into:The science behind why you can't slow downWhere the real problem liesExperience a 5-minute guided somatic practice to help you learn how to switch off, slow down, and rest.This has allowed me to go from a chronic overworker who has no time for self-care or leisure unless forced, to someone who now has an abundance of time for the things that make her heart sing... And I'm even more successful, efficient, and effective than when I was constantly on "go".Allowing yourself to rest does not mean you get lazy.Listen-in to heal xx💌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.
