🙌A great follow-up episode to listen to after this one is 123: Stop The Spiral & Heal After a Picking, Pulling, or Biting Session
What if the thing keeping you stuck in chronic skin picking, hair pulling, or nail biting isn't just the behaviour itself, but how you treat yourself because of it?
For so many people in this community, there is one thing that shows up again and again: a loud inner critic. And the shame, judgment and relentless pressure it creates can actually become part of the reason you need picking, pulling or biting in the first place.
In this episode, you'll learn:
✨ How your inner critic may be fuelling the cycle of picking, pulling or biting
✨ Why these behaviours can provide an escape from the noise inside your own mind
✨ How the way you treat yourself after a session can become a powerful opportunity for healing
This isn't a quick fix. It's about building an inner foundation of compassion and support so that, over time, you simply don't need the behaviour in quite the same way.
