My name is Raffaela Marie. I'm a holistic BFRB coach who has healed from 15 years of chronic skin picking myself and dedicated my life to helping driven women do the same. Through my podcast, free resources, and programs, I teach strategies to overcome urges, build emotional safety, and expand into authenticity. My approach goes beyond quick fixes, focusing on root causes and long-term recovery.

Just because you picked your skin today or this week doesn’t mean you’re back at square one.

When we judge our progress solely by how much we pick (or don’t pick), it often leads to self-criticism and can even sabotage the progress we’re making!

There’s a better way to track your progress - one that boosts your self-confidence and helps you stay consistent on your healing journey…

It’s called the 6 Signs of Healing specific to chronic skin picking...

In this episode, you’ll learn how to recognize these signs and gain a deeper understanding of your journey so you can see the real progress you’re making!

The best part? You can assess where you’re at as you listen to this episode, so by the end, you’ll know just how far you’ve truly come.

Ever wish you had a timeline for recovery?

While it’s impossible to predict the exact days, hours, or minutes until you leave chronic skin picking behind, there are ways to gain clarity on your progress!

• What the 4 universal needs are
• How they impact your journey to heal from chronic skin picking
• How you can use the 4 universal needs as benchmarks for your recovery
• Practical exercises to help you apply these concepts to your life

As always, this episode is designed to deepen your self-understanding and provide practical tools to support your healing that you can use today.

Note: This episode is for those ready to invest in meaningful, lasting change—not for those looking for a quick fix.
