101: The most damaging myth about chronic skin picking & hair pulling

The #1 issue I work on with my clients is feeling shame and self-criticism after a picking, pulling, or biting session.Why do I work with clients on this?It's not just about feeling better; it's because how you treat yourself in these moments directly impacts the length, severity, and frequency of picking sessions!When you learn how to lean into real compassion rather than criticism in these moments, you will take huge strides in your healing journey.But there's a problem: most people have a deep-seated feeling that "Being kind to myself after I pick just excuses the behaviour," which holds them back from making this crucial progress.If you resonate with this, let's work through this roadblock together so that you can access the next level in your healing journey.---Here's the blog post I mentioned - Is self-compassion just making excuses?
