If excoriation disorder (skin picking) has ever felt addictive, hard to stop, relieving in the moment, and frustrating afterward, you’re not alone.
In this two-part webinar, we explore what addiction recovery can teach us about skin picking. We’ll look at why willpower often isn’t enough, how the brain gets stuck in repetitive cycles, and how approaches like harm reduction and stimulus control can support real change.
The goal isn’t to label or shame. It’s to reduce stigma, increase understanding, and offer practical ways to loosen the grip of skin picking.
