Psychological Flexibility: A New Way to Respond to Skin Picking Urges and Thoughts
In this webinar, we introduce Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and the idea of psychological flexibility — learning how to respond to skin picking urges and difficult thoughts without getting pulled into automatic patterns.
We’ll explore how reconnecting with your values can guide meaningful change, why trying to control or eliminate picking urges often backfires, and how small, intentional actions can support progress without pressure or perfection.
This session offers a compassionate, practical framework for relating differently to skin picking and to yourself.
