Are evenings your weak spot for picking? You’re likely overstimulated, not "weak" or “failing.” 

In this episode, I break down why modern-day overload drains impulse control and heightens emotional reactivity, making nights the hardest. You’ll learn simple somatic practices to reduce daily overstimulation so you can arrive in the evening more grounded, present, and in control.

What you’ll learn

• How all-day head noise and nonstop “go” prime your brain for nighttime picking
• Why overstimulation hijacks the prefrontal cortex and amps the amygdala
• The micro-pause: a 5-second body check-in that builds regulation through your day
• The “doorway plan”: decide your first three actions before you get home
• Slow-the-body rituals that gently pull you out of autopilot in the evening

You don’t need more willpower. You need less overload and more presence. Grab my free guide below, Stop Chronic Skin Picking: 5 Somatic Exercises + 2 Insider Tips, and start feeling calmer tonight. If this helped, a quick 5-star review means a lot!
