This is an amazing program and helped me so much. My therapist was kind, thoughtful and responsive. I learned so much about my emotions and also tools to help with stress and anxiety. Highly recommend!

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!

I have picked and scratched at blemishes on my face and arms since I was in my teens. Through the program and the therapist, I have learned why and strategies to help control this behavior. My face is looking so clear that many times I leave the house without any coverup or foundation.

I was actually quite impressed with this program, and I was very doubtful to begin with. As everyone with this problem knows, it feels LITERALLY impossible to reduce or even stop picking. Like the idea of having even an ounce of control is just impossible. While this program isn’t a magic cure for skin picking, it gives you a lot of valuable information in a very structured way. It also forces you to actually apply the tools you’ve learned and reflect on your experiences. So many times I’ve googled “how to stop skin picking” and read about some methods, but never held myself accountable to actually try them and never had anyone knowledgable to ask questions to. This program gives you accountability and someone to talk to. My therapist was absolutely wonderful; she answered all my questions, and even when I would go off topic she would give me some sage advice. I actually screenshotted a bunch of the messages she sent me because I found them so valuable! She was also just a lovely presence in my life as I worked through this program and had to process some tough things and own up to my problems. Skin picking is the most isolating thing I have ever experienced; I feel completely alien to everyone around me. While I still feel isolated in some ways, having someone to message who understands and is knowledgable and empathetic is a relief beyond words. I am still a skin picker at the moment, but I see improvements in myself and know that I will continue to improve if I keep using the tools I have learned.

I had no idea something like existed and it was brilliant for my needs. My skin picking condition is relatively minor, but I wanted to put some attention on it. I would not have put the time and expense into in-person therapy, so I decided to give this affordable option a try. In fact, I think it turned out to be way better than trying to find an in-person local therapist! They have obviously put a lot of thought and experience into the program that specializes in this condition, and there were many helpful techniques I am now putting into practice. I was also able to share ideas with my young son who already has picking habits. The online support from my dedicated therapist was thorough and helpful. I would definitely recommend this program whether your case is severe or mild!

This program is brilliant. I loved the system of communicating with my therapist through comments, and she was extremely responsive, supportive and insightful. The module content is comprehensive and examines different perspectives of skin picking, i.e. it encourages you to find practical strategies to help you stop, but also to train your thoughts and emotions so that you can stop permanently, and the physical barriers you put in place can be only temporary. I have picked my skin for 35 years and used to pick pretty much all the time. My skin picking behaviour started to reduce after the first four weeks and although I haven't been able to stop completely, I feel confident that I will be able to in the future. I have reduced both the behaviour and the urges, and now have great strategies in place to reduce it further. The only drawback to this program is it's not possible to complete the 8 modules in one month, i.e. one payment - you have to pay at least twice to complete the program. However, the expense helped keep me accountable. I would recommend this program to anyone who is truly ready and willing to change. You have to put the work in and make a real commitment to see results.

After struggling with skin picking for 30 years, I finally decided to try this program. The full program lasted 8 weeks and was easy to adapt to my schedule. My therapist was super helpful and most of the program was having me answer questions and try different techniques. I found it to be extremely helpful. In the first week of the program, I was picking almost every day. By the end I only had one urge in a week. I am so glad I did this program, not just to help with skin picking, but also it helped me learn and grow as a person. I learned so much in this program and it really helped me to gain insight, awareness, and wisdom around picking. I feel much more comfortable, confident, and I feel like I did the right thing by investing in my own self-care and well being. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is struggling with skin picking.

This program was everything I needed. Being web-based, I could participate on my own time when convenient for me. It also provides the anonymity that made me feel comfortable talking about picking, a topic difficult to talk about, considering the shame normally associated with it. My therapist was understanding, knowledgeable, and provided enough guidance for me to come to some new realizations about my BFRB that has enabled me to make real progress with my skin picking. The setup also makes this far more affordable (for those of us in the US) than any in-person therapist, which allowed me to continue longer than I could have. The program is not a cure, but most therapy isn't. The therapist and program will help you get a perspective on your skin picking that will help you change in ways that will help you accomplish your goals. If you are ready to address your BFRB, but are either apprehensive about meeting with someone in person, or if it's too expensive for you, this program is a great option. I encourage you to try!
