Picking is often associated with shame which makes it so hard to get help. However this program doesn't do that. You get to be anonymous and you aren't judged for anything you say or do. Relapse is okay. I was able to explain my thoughts, track my behavior, and see improvements over time. They helped me learn quick fixes when the urge is there, longer term changes in the way I think or do things so the urges are reduced, and things I can practice in the future. I felt I could trust my therapist and she could help me think through difficult things. She helped me have self-compassion (which helps so much with reducing picking!) when I seemed to relapse due to larger life events. I have so much more peace from the program and recommend it to anyone trying to get a handle on their picking. This is the program for you!

Wonderful experience! This was a very helpful program and I liked having a new response every day. I think it kept me more focused on the program than an in person weekly visit. It helped me even with other parts of my life than just skin picking. I would highly recommend this to someone else!

This program has been really helpful for me to understand how my thoughts and feelings are connected to the picking behavior. It has given me insights and tools to both reduce the picking and improve the relationship I have with myself and others. I got so much more than I expected from this program.

I have been in the Skin Pick Program for 5+ months. I've just completed the initial 8 session program. What I liked about this program is the anonymity and that I could complete each session at my leisure. There was little pressure, but reminders that I felt were very helpful! I think the webinars are good as well! I have been picking my skin for a very long time. This is an embarrassing behavior that I don't discuss with anyone. The Skin Pick Program takes the stigma out of it. With the anonymity, I could be very transparent with my therapist without fear of rejection or judgement. The fact that this program services people world wide tells you what a big problem skin picking is! I cannot say that it has completely "cured" me of skin picking, but I understand some of the "why's" and now I have tools to help me avoid using skin picking to relieve anxiety or negative feelings. My therapist was positive and encouraging and although this was all online, I felt a connection and that she cared. I would and already have recommended the Skin Pick Program to others with similar behaviors.

This program was wonderful. The therapist I worked with helped guide me through each session and the worksheets are really helpful. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with skin picking conditions. I had low expectations and they have been exceeded and then some! I'm very grateful for the help.

I am so grateful I decided to try this program. I had already read a lot about skin picking and had tried counselling before, and yet could not seem to get on top of it. This program was a completely different experience. The first thing that struck me was that it is a highly structured and specific program. Being able to see all the different sessions I would get to work through made me feel confident I would get to the bottom of what is going on, that no aspect of my picking would be overlooked. I saw a reduction in my picking very early in the program. The second aspect is that you are a matched with a personal qualified therapist who guides you through the whole process. I expected this person to be something like an instructor who makes sure you are doing the exercises properly, but this was not the case: for me this is where the real work began. Vedrana Mirkovic really took the time to understand my perspective, and to help me understand the sessions in the program in the specific context of my own life. She helped me dig into issues as deep as I wanted to go. When I made some painful realisations she would not just leave me hanging there, but would instead help me figure out workable approaches to the situation. I was interested in this program to give myself the best possible chance to reduce my picking as much as I could. I have definitely achieved this, and feel confident that if I keep practicing what I have learnt, I will continue to reduce my picking. However, my experience with Skinpick also fundamentally shifted my outlook on other aspects of my life, and helped me make better choices for myself in a way I did not expect it would. All in all, I would strongly recommend Skinpick to anyone dealing with compulsive skin picking disorder, and I am very grateful to Vedrana for her support!

This online program is awesome, and worth every penny, it helped me gain new perspective and decrease my picking behaviour alot. For one, because you can do it on your own time, no pressure, so you have time to really focus on it when you can. Furthermore, the response is quick and the documentation and convesations with therapist will give you the tools you need to dive deep into your innerself and try to understand your behaviour, and ultimately, learn to control it with newly learned strategies that suit you. This course may or may not cure your picking for good, but it will give you strategies to apply and form new habits, and, just like anything in life, you need it to become a habit for it to stick, so we need to be aware and apply these strategies all the time and utlimately your picking behaviour will decrease significantly. My therapist Vedrana is an intelligent, kind, attentive, and honest therapist who was quick to follow up on my online sessions. She helped me reflect, become more aware of my behaviour and gave me new perspective on the way I saw and handled things. She also gave me some great links to videos, online documentation, webinars, so much more information to help me reflect and improve mentally. I especially appreciated that she was a good listener and tackled all my topics and issues that ended up helping me with not only my skin picking, but in life in general.

I cannot recommend this program enough. It has not only significantly reduced my skin-picking behaviour but has helped me massively in other areas of my mental health. Lindsay is a fantastic therapist and her professional, compassionate and kind approach really made the whole experience so much easier and even enjoyable! I will be forever grateful to Lindsay and the Skinpick Programme.
