My therapist was excellent!
Laura is excellent. I appreciated her support. I think there are times where I can be challenged or pushed more vs giving me too much grace and patience, so that I could grow. But I am thankful for having her during some difficult times.

The right support, from every angle

Feeling seen and understood after years of isolation
My therapist was supportive and compassionate. The activities and information within this program helped me to feel more seen and less ashamed about this problem that has made me feel alienated and alone for over a decade. The sessions helped me shift my perspective to view skin picking as a legitimate, common mental health struggle, and not as my own personal failure. My therapist made several interesting observations about my responses and asked the right questions to help me make connections between my experiences, my subconscious thought processes, and my behaviors, which was very eye-opening to me. Unfortunately, I do not have the time or energy right now to complete the rest of this program, but I will definitely consider starting the program again once I am able to fully commit to it.
