description: People often ask Christina What helped you stop pulling and picking? and perhaps even more important How do you stay stopped? While the tools and strategies that lead one person to recovery will not always work for another in Pearls Christina shares many small tools and shifts in perspective that helped her become aware of and effectively eliminate these unwanted behaviors on a day-to-day basis. This is a simple - yet in practice profound - collection of meditations and contemplations geared specifically toward giving the reader insight and experiential anchors in skin picking and hair pulling recovery. In an accessible easy to understand language and with a delicate prose format Christina shares the internal process that helped her overcome the colossal challenge of becoming aware of reducing and eventually moving beyond unwanted body-focused repetitive behaviors. At first deceptively elementary this collection of meditations has many layers deepening and taking on new meaning with one's own evolving experience of the path of recovery. This quote from a long-time sufferer says it all: You've blazed a path I can follow. Every step may be my own but your courage is my guiding light. M.C. California
