123: Stop The Spiral & Heal After a Picking, Pulling, or Biting Session

A highly effective practice to reduce the length, severity and frequency of picking, pulling, and biting sessions happens when you least expect.

💜 The moments after a bad session can be some of the hardest.

But what if I told you they were also one of the greatest opportunities for healing and growth?

In my own healing journey, and in those of my clients, I've consistently seen that how we respond to ourselves in these moments can directly impact the picking, pulling, and biting.

In this episode, I'll walk you through the exact process I use after a difficult session. You'll learn how to regulate your nervous system, validate what you're feeling without spiralling into shame, and take the next step forward with compassion instead of self-punishment.

🌱 Because healing isn't determined by whether you have another session. It's often determined by what you do in the minutes that follow.

If you've ever found yourself stuck in the shame spiral after picking, pulling, or biting, this episode will give you a practical framework to help you break that cycle.
