Client Reviews

I was desperate, insecure and jaded when I came across this program. I felt as though my dermatillomania behavior was so ingrained in me that I would have to deal with it for the rest of my life. I wasn’t sure if anything or anyone could help, but I was willing to try. I had nowhere else to turn. Nothing else was working. I knew I had to accept that this disorder was bigger than me and that I felt powerless over it in order to fully submerse myself in the healing journey. I had to come to terms with my vulnerabilities, perceived flaws, and my willingness to commit if I wanted results. This program gave me hope. I took a chance, and I’m so grateful for it. I have seen tangible results that excite and inspire me. My experience in this program has given me lifelong tools to repair the damage and control of dermatillomania. I am now equipped with the strength and perspective I need to conquer this self-destructive force. I have transformed my relationship with my skin, my feelings, my needs, and my belief in myself. This program is a blessing. If you’re struggling with a skin-picking disorder and ready for help, this program will gently guide you in a self-empowering and life-changing direction. You CAN conquer dermatillomania...you just have to keep taking steps toward change.

The experience was extremely valuable. The combination of learning techniques and having weekly check ins to chart progress really helped, and while it will not always be easy, I genuinely feel that the behaviour is no longer something that limits or inhibits me. I would absolutely recommend this program to someone else looking for help. I had tried many other times to stop the behaviour but this is the first time where I’ve seen sustained progress.

I found the course really beneficial - the sessions and worksheets were very comprehensive in dealing with all the different aspects to the condition. It's helped me understand the behavior much better and the techniques and methods suggested have been really helpful. I would really recommend the course to anyone else with the behavior as it's really helpful having the chance to follow a programme that is specifically tailored to people with this condition.

My experience with the program is very positive. I have learned about the skin picking behavior and how to handle it. My skin picking has drastically improved and I tend to put my values forward more than before. I'm happy with where I'm at now and I would like to thank my therapist and the team for providing people with opportunity to address the issue online at the convenience of their homes and time as opposed to other pricey options. I would recommend this program for whoever is seeking help and prefers a less costly and online approach.

The program was helpful to me and it clearly has been beneficial; paying the money actually helped me make the commitment, and the personal feedback kept me engaged and made sure I was understanding the program. I'd definitely recommend it to someone else.

I am so grateful that I decided to try this program. It has taught me so much about myself, my skin picking and the reasons why I do it. I leave the program with a compassion towards myself and the urges to pick. I still pick, but a lot less and less frequent. And now I am usually aware that I am doing it and am making an active choice to go ahead - whereas before it was almost always an automatic procedure that just took over. It has also taught me a lot about being mindful. Most importantly, I've learned to think of what I do in terms of whether it's something that aligns with my inner values or not. That is probably the most valuable lesson to me, because now I know that I don't actually want to pick. It's a habit and a coping tool that I've used for 16 years, but I have outgrown it and with this program, I can start to move on to making healthier choices by solving the problems that feed the urge. It's an amazing program for anyone who is ready to talk about their skinpicking. There's no easy fix for dermatillomania - this is a long-term plan that teaches you to soothe yourself and the difficult emotions in a healthier way. It's all about tenderness and self-compassion. It's gonna take some honesty and it's probably gonna get a little uncomfortable along the way but boy, is it worth it. There's no greater victory than accepting and loving yourself. Then you can take on the world. And that's the path this program has set me on.

I was somewhat sceptical about an online therapy program, but at the same time desperate after suffering for over 15 years and willing to try anything! In fact, this program has been transformative and far more effective than any other intervention I have tried, including face-to-face talking therapies. I am not totally ‘cured’ of skin-picking, but I have learned how to re-frame my thinking, not just about picking but also about the underlying fears I carry with me through life and manifest themselves in different ways. I now think about myself differently - and I have this program to thank for that. Yes, I would recommend this program. It’s not always easy, you have to commit significant time and energy, and be willing to be very honest with yourself, but it’s worth it. My therapist was excellent and very responsive throughout the entire program.

This program took me through a real-life learning process. I tend to be impatient and want to read/learn everything right away and try to implement it all at once. This program forced me to slow down and go through the process of understanding my habit and the root cause of my picking. I had to learn the hard way before I could begin to change my thinking patterns. Coming into this therapy, I didn't believe my acne would ever heal. I thought I would learn techniques to control the picking and accept my acne prone skin. Now that I've completed the sessions, I've learned two important things. 1. My acne and picking has very little to do with my skin and everything to do with my emotions and spirit. I used to view my acne and picking habit as a curse. Now I see it as a blessing that allowed me to discover my true values and learn about myself. I have a path to realizing true happiness and ease by acknowledging and observing the fear that my ego creates from an objective viewpoint. By separating myself from the feelings of fear and observing my thoughts, I can create a new approach to addressing or releasing my fears. Because of everything I just stated, my stress / anxiety levels have reduced immensely. This is causing my skin to clear up more than anything I've ever tried before. I know my acne can heal, because I'm watching it happen, and it is happening faster than I ever imagined. I've been struggling for 24 years. I've been working on this program for 8 weeks. The real learning has happened over the last 4 weeks and my skin improvement aligns with the real learning! I'm so excited to see how I feel and how my skin improves over the next 4 weeks. I would highly recommend this program to others. I live in the US and have a Health Savings Account (HSA). To my surprise, I was able to use the HSA to pay for this therapy. I visited a dermatologist and asked him to add this therapy to his notes. I then submitted a request to my HSA provider for the funds. This made it much easier for me to decide to invest in the program. Looking back at what I've gained, I would recommend the investment even if the HSA wasn't available. This is an investment worth making.

I would recommend this to anyone who is serious about overcoming their skin picking. Contrary to what most people think, the process for overcoming skin picking requires more than just one method; it requires multiple methods in place to work collaboratively in unison. The Skin Pick program teaches the best method options available to us that have been proven scientifically to help people like us overcome our problem. Today, I am almost completely pick-free (100% pick-free from my fingers and face which were my main areas of concern, and now all that is left is my shoulders and groin/legs area), but it did not happen overnight and it did not happen with one solitary method. Skin Pick gave me the tool kit to overcome skin picking; it was up to me to apply those tools. Investing in the Skin Pick program was absolutely the best money and time I have ever spent, as I now live a new empowered life of confidence, peace, clarity, strength, and freedom that I have always wanted for myself. I am beyond grateful. Thank you, with all of my heart, Skin Pick!!

1. It took me such a long time to get through the program, mainly because it took a while for me to fully appreciate that the greater amount of effort and commitment that you put in, the more you get out of it. My therapist had the patience of a saint! But once I gained momentum, I started to understand the issues around my picking and what perpetuates my behaviour. I understand now that there is not a cure for picking, but that there are ways to manage the urges and there are strategies for reducing or minimising the triggers. The program has given me the tools to manage my behaviours, even if I am still a work in progress! 2. I would recommend the program to people who need help with their behaviour although I would also emphasise that you need to be proactive in seeking out strategies that work for you personally. That means it may help to do extra research or creative thinking in addition to the suggestions that come out of the therapy sessions.
