I am so glad I decided to enroll in this program. Before signing up, I had been interested in therapy but was hesitant due to costs and uncertainty of which issues to address during therapy. Finding the Skinpick program was a complete blessing, it allowed me to face an issue that I may not have felt comfortable addressing in person in therapy. I appreciate that the program was affordable, personalized, addressed my specific issue and was self paced. The sessions were broken down in a way that really made sense and led me to a greater understanding of myself. My therapist was extremely kind and helpful throughout the process, asking questions and helping me appreciate the progress I made during the course of the program. I feel I have a much greater handle on my skinpicking behavior now and a greater understanding of myself as well because of this program and would highly recommend it to anyone struggle with body-focused repetitive behaviors.

I would sum up my experience by saying that the SP program provided me with an opportunity to develop a conscious awareness about my behaviour, as well as, a non-judgemental space to explore my thoughts and feelings. The program was not focussed on skin picking alone it got me to consider the deeper emotions and thoughts that may trigger me and empower me in how I respond to urges or difficult thoughts. Ultimately, I learned a lot about techniques to help with urges, letting go of this idea of control, practicing mindfulness and staying present, and bringing my values to the forefront of my mind to help guide me in my choices and behaviours in life. At times the information was overwhelming but i felt comfortable being vulnerable in the program and trusting my counsellor to guide me to my own understanding. I would recommend this program to others looking for help around skin picking.

The experience with the program helped me feel like I’m not alone, which was extremely comforting. I learned about my strengths and weaknesses and how my need for control negatively impacts my behaviors. I believe it was beneficial and although I am still struggling with skin picking, I have more hope that I can get better. I would recommend it to someone who is looking for help with a similar behavior and have already discussed it at length with my friend and my sister.

My experience with the program has been very helpful. I was very dubious when I saw an online program for dermatillomania, but had reached a point of desperation where I was willing to give it a try. I have been very surprised at how helpful it has been, and my picking has reduced to almost zero. I have tried many things over my 30 years of struggling with this disorder, and currently have smooth, healed skin on my hands and a whole range of new coping strategies and understanding of myself. I would recommend this program to others who are genuinely looking for support with their problem. Picking is embarrassing and lonely, but this is a safe space to heal.

SkinPick was one of the best decisions of my life. It turned a behavior that contributed to my depression into a non-existent behavior that left me free. I feel so much better! I would recommend SkinPick to anyone who is willing to put in the time to find answers to their skin picking. If it could help me, it can help others. I’m so thankful I found this program!
