PART 2 of Chaille & Karen's episode focuses on Body-Focused Process Addictions (BFPAs)!
Chaille DeFaria is a Master Certified Coach through the International Coaching Federation and a facilitator of Dr. Brene Brown’s research. She is also the co-founder of The BFPA Resource Center with Karen. When Chaille exposed her secret of living with a BFRB and started to own the parts of herself that wanted to be seen as perfect the wall around her crumbled to the ground. That choice was a gift. The opposite of shame is worthiness. Belonging doesn’t require us to change who we are, it requires us to be who we are.

This episode is brought to you by HabitAware. If you follow me on social media you have seen me with my Keen2 in lilac. I love it and I love that it is a tool created for BFRBs by someone who has a BFRB. My Keen2 brings awareness to my trichotillomania by giving my wrist a gentle hug or vibration when I’m doing the scanning behavior.
