I interviewed my colleague, the author Chana Studley, on my podcast,ย Courage Dear Heart, โฅ๏ธ๐ฆ a couple of years ago.
Chana Studley recovered from severe PTSD after three violent attacks in the UK.
She spent the next 25 years combining a very successful Academy Award Winning career in Hollywood with coaching and counselling people with trauma, addictions, and relationship problems.
After graduating from โThe One Thought’ Institute in 2018, she noticed that her 25 years of chronic pain had completely gone, so sheย researched to discover if she could reproduce this experience in others.
Following the success of 5 case studies, she developed a program called โPainlessโ and is now helping clients worldwide with all kinds of health issues and working with doctors and clinicians to introduce them to the โThree Principlesโ.
Most recently, she has started working with people with Long Covid and has beenย having great success in helping them get back to their innate health.

This year, Chana has just released a book calledย ๐๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐ด๐ป๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ – ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ด๐บ ๐ฆ๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ผ๐น๐ผ๐ด๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ป๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ต.
Chana asked many of her colleagues, including myself, all mental health professionals, to write their own stories of hope to contribute to the book.
So, I am very honoured to present to you Chana’s book, of which I have written a chapter called ‘Dermatillomania or Body-Focusedย Repetitive Behaviours (BFRBs).’
Dermotillomania is something that I struggled with for YEARS and YEARS following the death of my younger brother.
It is also known as Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours (or, for ease, a skin-picking disorder.)
It is a condition that is driven by compulsive thoughts that manifest as an uncontrollable urge to pick at the skin.
If you want to learn more about this, please purchaseย Chana’s bookย or come into myย free community, where I chat about all this juicy stuff and more!

What you’re looking for, you’re looking with. โฃโฃ
Your innate well-being is always there 100% of the time, with no exceptions. โฃโฃ
When people donโt deeply know the truth of this, they release by over-thinking, over-eating, over-drinking, over-spending, hoarding, and making themselves sick โฃ.
Trust the part of you that ๐๐ก๐ข๐ช๐ฆโฆ knows youโre enough, has your back, and knows what you need to do next. โฃโฃ
Listen to ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต voice, not the little fucker ๐โฃโฃ
Join my Circle โญ๏ธ to explore more deeply about who you actually are underneath the stories.
Have courage, โฅ๏ธ๐ฆ
