What if the behaviors we judge the most are actually the ones
that helped us survive?

Join me for a powerful live episode of Notes From
the Edge with Jessie Hannah,
creator of Bare Becoming, as we explore the neuroscience
behind body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs),
trichotillomania, shame, nervous system regulation, and the path
from self-judgment to self-understanding.

After hiding her hair-pulling disorder for more than 25 years,
Jessie made the courageous decision to shave her head publicly
and share her story. Today, her work has reached millions of
people by helping them replace the question, “What’s wrong
with me?” with a far more compassionate one: “What is
this behavior trying to protect me from?”

In this conversation, we’ll explore:

• The hidden reality of body-focused repetitive behaviors
(BFRBs)
• The neuroscience behind habits that are so difficult to
stop
• Why shame rarely leads to healing
• The connection between coping behaviors, identity, and the
nervous system
• How curiosity can become the beginning of lasting change
• What it means to truly understand yourself instead of judging
yourself

Whether you’ve struggled with anxiety, perfectionism, compulsive
behaviors, or simply want to better understand how the brain
protects us, this conversation will leave you seeing yourself and
others through a more compassionate lens.

Welcome to the Edge.
