About this listen

Did you know research suggests at least 1 in 20 people have a BFRB (body focused repetitive behaviour)? Yeah, me neither.

For many years, both loved ones and medical professionals wrote my compulsive skin picking off as nothing more than a habit.

Turns out, supposedly 2% of the population have dermatillomania and that's just those who have been diagnosed! After 15 years living with my dermatillomania, I'm on a mission to help others understand, accept and embrace their own BFRB.

Join me - Kim - as I speak to various experts on important insights as well as chatting to others who will be sharing their amazing, unique stories. Have you been feeling alone? You no longer need to 💛

    Dermatillomania (skin picking disorder) can affect many of us, but it's not so often that we know of others sharing the same or very similar experience. Especially those we follow, are inspired by and look to for confidence and style.

    That's why this episode's conversation with Alyssa Coscarelli - commonly known as @alyssainthecity - is a special one.

    I hope you enjoy this conversation.

    In this episode, I speak to Chaille DeFaria, who is an Mental Health Consultant and BFRB Coach.

    Before helping so many people with their body focused repetitive behaviors, Chaille experienced her own compulsions through hair-pulling (trichotillomania).

    I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Chaille - even getting a little teary-eyed! I hope you enjoy the conversation.

    If you'd like to learn more about Chaille, you can check out her website or visit her Instagram page.

    As always, feel free to follow and get in touch with me over on Instagram and Tiktok.
