Proverbs, Pet Owners, & Perspectives on BFRBs
from Picking Jesus Hosted by Mandi Halloran
In this episode I dive into Proverbs 26:11, a passage that may hit different for someone with a Body Focused Repetitive Disorder like chronic skin picking. The tendency for people with BFRDs as well as others with chronic mental health conditions have a tendency to react negatively and have emotion-driven responses to reading through certain passages of the bible that make us uncomfortable. These emotional responses may pose long-standing frustrations with ourselves, contribute to negative self-image, and lead to inconsistency or lack of motivation to regularly get into God's word. In this episode I give an example of an emotion-driven response to this scripture in proverbs and offer an alternative perspective. Additionally, I share about my journey as someone with chronic skin picking and I get real honest about what I believe to be a biblical view of chronic skin picking and similar behaviors. Other bible verses discussed in this episode include 2 Cor 12:9 & 1:Cor 16
