Words from Our Clients

January 2024

I found this course helped me link skin picking to issues I'm having in my daily life and this has helped with finally tackling those issues head on. I found this experience very validating and informative.

If I need it again, I will absolutely resubscribe.

June 2024

I felt my therapist really understood me and helped bring clarity to many areas in my life, ultimately correlating many of these circumstances to my skin picking disorder so that I can be more aware and work on those areas for a holistic healing approach. Thank you for everything!

My actual behavior is significantly curtailed. I trusted and worked well with therapist and program. I appreciated the different therapeutic approaches and skillfulness of the program. Hard work but worth it!

May 2023

The program is structured well, and I learned a lot over this past year. I had a lot of rocks to turn over and the program, coupled with Ivana’s support, helped me address all the things that were hiding there! I really appreciate the email/messaging [format], as sometimes you’re just not up for communicating in person. Thank you so much and all the best!

August 2022

I have found this program extremely beneficial for my skin picking issues. The program explores the situation- and takes some of the stigma and shame from this situation. We examined triggers for this and emotions that lead to this behavior and alternate ways to view it and learn to avoid those behaviors. My face and blemishes have become so clear and most of the time I can leave the house without any makeup. I am still having some issues controlling the urges to pick and damage the roughness on the back of my arms and am still trying different techniques to help control that.
I would completely recommend the program to anyone who is looking for help with this issues. It has been so helpful for me and I appreciate the lessons and my therapist

Lifesaver. This program changed me so much over the weeks. You have to be patient and invest time in understanding the theory and don't forget to put into practice what you learn in the worksheets. It is also well organized and Michaela has helped me so much in the therapeutic process. [Would I recommend it to someone?] 100%!! This is an investment for you.

January 2022

I honestly found this program very beneficial. I found that it made me access my life, and my values. I think before entering the program, I thought a part of me was just picking at my skin for no good reason. I was stuck in a vicious cycle of guilt. I think this program allowed me to look at my past trauma. Writing out my negative experiences, and really reflecting on them made me realize that I have faced a lot of trauma. It made me realize that I have a lot more to explore than just skin picking. I had to reevalute myself. I loved the format. I loved the opportunity to be able to write down my feelings, thoughts and questions whenever I felt like it. I felt that this program was so much more than just dealing with the behaviour of skin picking. I am so grateful that you were able to help me through this journey. I really am so thankful. You answered all of my questions. I would definitely recommend this program and already have in my skin picking groups on facebook!

December 2021

My experience with the program was very positive as it is individualized and allows you to follow the therapy in your own pace and from wherever you are. On the flip side, this requires a lot of self discipline as it can sometimes be forgotten, which makes it quite expensive in the end. Yes, I would definitely recommend it to everyone who aims at better understanding their picking

September 2021

I found this program very beneficial and one of a kind. It helped me uncover and work on accepting the root causes of my skin picking. It also helped me understand myself better and identify the aspects that I need to work on that will help me completely break this habit. This program provided me with especially useful and tangible protective mechanisms, thoughts, exercises and practices. As someone who has been struggling with skin picking without understanding it for more than 15 years, I would absolutely recommend this program for anyone who is in a similar situation!
