Untapped Potential Podcast
In this podcast, we dive deep into the nuances of living and dealing with a BFRB (body focused repetitive behavior) and how to UNTAP your potential in healing from one.
This podcast is brought to you by Raffaela Marie, a Dermatillomania Coach who knows from personal experience what it's like to struggle with a BFRB. On her quest to heal herself, she dove down the rabbit hole into human psychology and behaviour so that she could take this knowledge and experience and help others to heal as she did.
In a nutshell, she found what it takes to heal and it's not as impossible as most people think it is! Now she's sharing all her tips, strategies, and invaluable insights with the world on this podcast.
