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!

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.

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.

After years of trying to stop skin picking on my own I knew I needed some help. Skinpick.com was helpful because I could work on my own timeline and it helped me think about picking and my behaviors from a different perspective. The therapist was understanding and asked good questions. I would not a say this "cured" my picking, but I think this was a good step towards having a healthier outlook and building strategies to be happier with myself and my skin and avoid cycles that making picking worse.

Very well structured program with the right blend of depth and length. The content and the therapist are great! You won’t never be able to develop alone the insights, the mind set and the techniques to defeat the skin picking problem. The online and self-paced method works very well.

I found the program to be very helpful, as it was my first therapy experience focused solely on skin picking disorder. My therapist was extremely responsive and helped me dig deeper beyond just the CBT prompts, and for the price the value is great compared to traditional talk therapy.
