"You just need to let yourself feel your feelings!"

If you listen to this podcast, you most likely get that already.

You get that it's important to feel, you get why you struggle to feel certain emotions, you know where it comes from, and can possibly even pinpoint exact moments in which you learned to suppress.

The question is now, how to actually feel which is where most people get stuck.

Until now! In this episode, Raffaela runs you through 2 practical techniques you can use to help you access emotion so that you can process it and deepen your connection with yourself even further.

Oof... off days...

You know those days when you feel like you're functioning at 10% of your usual brain power and where it appears that, once again, fate got its calendar muddled up and so decided to hastily jam a month's worth of misfortune into 24 hours...

Those days. You know it?

Yup, they're not fun but they are part of life and when we don't know how to navigate them we can so easily end up in a picking, pulling, or biting sessions as a means to cope...

Which, as you know, turns our "off" day into an "OFF" day.

In this episode, Raffaela shares with you a powerful mindset shift that will allow you to navigate your "off" days with more ease and grace so that you can reduce skin picking, hair pulling, and nail biting in the long term.

Not only that but when you implement what you learn in this episode you will feel way better about yourself overall.

"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will rule your life and you will call it Fate." - Carl Jung

The more present and conscious we become, the more control we have over ourselves and our lives.

So where do we start to become more present and conscious?

And if you've already been on this path a while, how do we take it even deeper?

In this episode, you'll learn how to identify the subtleties of when you're living unconsciously because it's not always so obvious! When we miss these subtle red flags we end up feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, under-appreciated, anxious, and frustrated with life.

This episode will help you to become the captain of your own ship rather than the second in command or a deck scrubber.

Enjoy!

Sometimes a big piece of our puzzle to healing from a BFRB* is that life is chaotic! We often find ourselves surviving instead of thriving.

And it's not because you aren't doing enough, or because you aren't strong enough, or you don't have the willpower.

It's simply because you're lacking a powerful, foundational system that helps you to get shit done in a way that is flexible and can account for the unexpected...

Because life doesn't always go to plan and without the right system to support us it gets incredibly overwhelming...

Which leads to a picking, pulling, or biting session to cope.

In this episode, Raffaela shares with you the framework for a powerful yet simple system that she uses for herself and her clients to bring the chaos of life into order so that you can feel in control, on top of things, and unshakable.

Perfectionism plays quite a significant role in your healing journey from your BFRB*.

If we don't learn how to overcome our perfectionistic ways then it's going to be very hard for us to release the need to engage in self-destructive behaviours like chronic skin picking, hair pulling, and nail biting.

In this episode we look at WHERE perfectionism comes from, what it has to do with your BFRB, and one unbelievably simple yet powerful exercise you can do to help yourself break free from perfectionism so that you can thrive.
