Clients trust us. You can, too.

Our platform has been carefully developed and reiterated to serve clients just like you.

When asking our clients for feedback, we ask these two questions:

- How do you sum up your experience with the program and was it beneficial?
- Would you recommend it to others who suffer from excoriation disorder?

To sum up my experience, I think that this program has drastically changed my outlook on my picking behaviour, which has helped me to change (not eliminate) my picking behaviour. I believe that through this program I have gained skills and insights that will help me to continue to manage and overcome my picking. The materials within this program have been relevant and effective for me and I really appreciate the support and motivation that my therapist Michaela has provided me; her insistance on discussing things further has kept me engaged and accountable for my use of this program. Thank you so much, Michaela. I absolutely would recommend this program for someone who is looking to understand and improve their picking behaviour; this program is targeted, easy to follow and much cheaper than receiving traditional face-to-face CBT therapy.

The content of the program was presented clearly. It provided scientifically based approaches for understanding and managing picking behaviors in a manner that is easy to understand. I left the program feeling like I had tools at my disposal to help manage and hopefully someday eliminate this picking behavior. The therapist was very helpful and quick to help and also made me feel at ease as I navigated the content and discussed underlying issues. I would recommend this program to people who need help getting to understand their picking behaviors and to discover ways to manage and/or significantly reduce their picking.

I absolutely think the program was beneficial. I would sum up the program by saying that it helped me be okay with experiencing negative emotions/thoughts, and separate the picking behaviour, as well as the triggers for picking (negative emotions) from myself, so I could get distance from the behaviours and emotions and view them as something I was experiencing, not what I truly am. I enjoyed the program and found the focus on taking better care of myself and prioritising that as one of my values extremely helpful personally. Even though I was somewhat aware of what I found helpful and positive self-care techniques previously (e.g. journalling) the course really emphasised the importance of these to me and as a result I am doing these a lot more. I really liked that you challenged me to keep looking for and examining what was behind my behaviours/thoughts/attitudes Michaela, and to look at how those formed or started, and to think about what was happening for me at a deeper level. The program definitely helped me significantly improve my life in general and work positively towards values and goals, as well as reducing the picking behaviour itself. I would 100% recommend the program and the therapist to someone else experiencing similar behaviours/issues.

1. The program was absolutely beneficial - I can't say that I'm "cured" of my skinpicking, but now I know that it's not about trying to control the urges. I feel so much more prepared to deal with my skinpicking behaviours - I have a whole new knowledge set and understanding of this behaviour, and a toolbox full of strategies to use! In fact, this program didn't just help me address my skinpicking behaviours - by addressing them, I also addressed some other areas in my life that needed attention/work. 2. Yes, I absolutely would [recommend it to others]. I like the fact that the program is at your own pace, you can save the worksheets for future reference, and your therapist always responds quickly and with understanding!

In general, I’m moderately positive about the program. I do believe it was beneficial; according to the objective tracking on the site, there was a measurable drop in the amount of picking I do. I also have tools, such as the app, that I can use to continue to monitor picking in the future as needed. I found the material informative and I appreciate that it spanned the gamut from simple behavioral control to awareness training and general life satisfaction/purpose. More than anything, I think that it’s a blessing that a site like SKINPICK exists. For most of my life, this behavior has felt unusual, niche, poorly researched. Knowing that there is a research base accumulating and a place other people such as myself can visit to get help with skin picking is a real comfort. I am hopeful that newsletters will continue be sent that highlight ongoing research (and hoping that the research continues!) – I will read them.
