Has anyone ever beat this disease?

Posted November 1st, 2012 by heikkilae
Just curious if there is anyone out there who has actually found success with treatment? It seems as if no one has any idea how to beat this disease. I have even gone to the Mayo Clinic and they had no clue as how to help me :(

Yes, I found success with specialized therapy at OCD center of LA (plus self-experimentation with other techniques), and my clients have had great success with my coaching program. Please see bfrbcoaching.com for more info.

You are correct though that very few doctors or therapists have any clue how to help.

I am just now finding out that there is a name for this. I used to pick the skin from the bottoms of my feet when I was younger. I would do it to the point that my feet would bleed a little and I would eat my skin. I do remember telling myself that I should stop, but I don't remember much. I haven't picked at my skin for many years now, but I do get the urge to every now and then. I think it all boils down to self control and making the decision to stop. I did it and I know you can too.
