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.

I cannot recommend this program enough! I had a really bad issue with picking and was at a loss for what to do. I felt like I had tried everything, but I was super surprised. They suggested so many new ways that helped me to not only understand where my urge to pick was coming from, but also several ways to help control my urges. They also help to give a lot of resources and strategies to help prevent relapses. Love this program soooooo much. It has absolutely changed my life for the better!!!

I genuinely couldn't recommend this programme enough! I had been picking my skin for quite some time and after a long picking episode, I decided I had to do something about it so I started searching on the internet. I found this page, read the ebook first and resonated with so many things that I decided to give this course a go. I can say that that was one of the best decisions I've ever made. This programme helps you get to the roots of your behaviour and understand it so deeply. It teaches you so much, but doesn't overwhelm you, as the sessions, the worksheets, the explanations and the assessment tests are so well-made and organized. The course equips you with both physical and mental techniques to tackle your issue. Not only did it change my skin picking behaviour, but honestly my lifestyle and approach to life, as well. My supportive, kind, understanding therapist contributed to my success immensely, which I'm very grateful for. She always replied quickly and challenged me in the best possible way. Before doing this programme, I was pretty sceptical about therapy in general and used to think that it wasn't for me, but the course completely changed my opinion about that. Overall, this programme has exceeded all of my expectations, and I highly recommend completing it if you have a skin picking issue! Thank you:)

I found this program extremely helpful. It helped me get to the source of my picking and a better understanding of this issue. I have had good success with the program overall.

I completed the BFRB therapy program through TrichStop, but with a hybrid emphasis since I pick my skin as well (and my understanding is that TrichStop and SkinPick are substantially similar). In short, the program was excellent. It was very well structured, moving me through stages of becoming more aware of my behaviors, recognizing some motivations for why I do them and conversely what they cost me, learning different strategies to tackle different kinds of picking/pulling (automatic vs. focused), and emphasizing commitment as the ultimate key to long-term management. The program contained reinforcement of the different ideas at many stages, which really helped integrate the different concepts and helped me develop a holistic strategy for managing my BFRBs. The therapist was such a helpful and thoughtful guide through the program, as well, and the format -- sending messages over an online platform -- was slow, reflective, non-invasive, and non-vulnerable. (I'm not sure I want to do therapy any other way from now on!) An important note: This program isn't a panacea. It won't magically cure your BFRBs. But then again, no program will. With this therapy program, you get out as much as you put in -- and if you really commit, it will be a very valuable experience, not just for BFRBs, but for general mental health and self-understanding. By the end of the program, my behaviors hadn't stopped, but they had decreased significantly. More importantly, though, I had developed a game plan for continuing to work on my BFRBs going forward, and I hope that I'll be able to manage them even better in the coming months and years. I *highly* recommend this program to anyone struggling with this issue -- it's the best help I've encountered, and I hope it will enable others to find the training and support they need.

I really enjoyed this program because it got me to think about my picking at a deeper level and focus on my values for life. I never thought they'd be connected, but they truly are. This program was instrumental in the process to stop picking my skin. I couldn't recommend it enough to someone who is considering taking it.

The Skin Pick program helped me identify my picking habits, shed light on the drivers of those habits, systematically deconstruct those drivers, and develop non-picking methods to manage the underlying stressors. The online experience of the program suited me better than going to face to face therapy. It was easier for me to work around in regard to my time and movements, and was sympathetic to the fact that, as a skin picker, I did not want to be seen. The therapy itself was sensible, thought-provoking, and systematic. It was a safe place to unload my life's baggage and sort through it, and the therapists' responses were thoughtful, compassionate, and non-judgmental, which I believe is imperative for encouraging expression and healing with a skin picker. I found my picking strongly related to high levels of pressure and stress in my life; from being a high-achiever; through taking on too much and by being held to impossible standards by others and myself. The habits were highly related to lack of expression; especially expression of uncomfortable thoughts and emotions where I often felt guilt, shame, and overwhelm for things I felt and said as well as things I felt I could not say. I also had a lot of pent-up anger and rage about some of my life experiences which were unresolved because some things were chronic and I was still going through them. I found my skin-picking was a symptom of me trying to tell myself I needed to let things out, let things go, and put things down. The Skin Pick program taught me I needed to give myself the time to think about my values and needs and give myself the self-care and self-acceptance I had been denying myself. When I started to do this, and actually act on the things I could act on, it was like I turned a page and my skin-picking stopped. I also found some lovely people at a local skincare salon who I could be honest with about being a recovering picker and about my ongoing skin concerns and who could treat my skin and picking scars. I was welcomed and they have been very compassionate and understanding, and as I found out, some of them were recovering pickers also which is how they got into skincare, and thus they have been incredibly supportive of me. This also made me understand that my situation was not anomalous, and in fact more common than skin pickers realise. I believe the Skin Pick program gave me the psychological and emotional tools that helped me to get here. It has been beneficial, and it was important for me to take action and start the program, and just as important to finish it.

The program is very well founded - and the only one of its kind for scinpicking. It provided me with valuable tools and, moreover, I now have a much better understanding of my behavior and of myself as a person. My therapist has helped me identify many underlying issues. All of this is a good basis for reducing the behavior of scinpicking. When using the the program you should make some weekly time for it.
