Simply stopping the picking is a good start. It's also important to instill a new, healthy coping mechanism.
You could even use a very simple direct suggestion something like - "as soon as your hand moves in an attempt to pick skin, you will instantly and automatically relax and your hand will return to where it was."

Hi Gayle,
I have dealt with a client who had a mild form of skin-picking, which manifested from her anxiety. She was successful in eliminating the habit through practicing self-hypnosis for stress release and using imagery to create a protective ba…
What Ian said. Also, if she can identify any triggers, those can be swished to tone them down, while you continue to work with other identified issues as they come up.
I would treat it similar to a nail biting habit and is usually appearance driven (they are just trying to make it look better).
Parts therapy; to find out cause and to determine an alternate activity to replace the skin picking one, that will provi…
Hi Gayle
There are a few ways, and sometimes you have to just slowly work through them to discover the most effective, Rather than initially try to banish the itching, I would consider reducing the sensations and shifting them, Maybe concentrate th…
A lady has contacted me about chronic skin picking/Dermatillomania which she has had for over 10 years. She really wants to stop doing this and is asking for my assistance. Has anyone had experience with this issue. My initial thoughts would be t…
Kelley, Great advice, but without the kids father approval, Gayle can easily be involved in a law suit, unless she has both parent consent, because it can be a custody dispute between mother and father. In other hand, Gayle can use your advice into…
Gayle,
If you can convinced the mother to see you for stress reduction and explain when she is too worried over her sons lies, she actually causing more harm, let her know when she learns not to question him, he will start seeing the change and it…
The child does not know the mother is talking to me. I appreciate all the input I have gotten from you "wonderful" hypnotherapists - I believe the best thing for me to do at this point is to pass on this client.... I don't believe I can make this a…
Does the child want help with this?
Hello Gayle,
First of all, kids lie for so many reasons, and yes, you can help the kid with hypnosis, but,
you need to find out why is he lying, is it to avoid punishment? Is his mother constantly questions his visit with his father? she says the f…
Hello Gayle,
This young fellow is gaining something from telling his lies. Perhaps it is his way to connect with his father, perhaps it is his way to control his life...or perhaps he has fun keeping people guessing and relishing the attention he get…
To be frank, I would pass this on to someone who has the experience to deal with it. My philosophy is to keep within my scope of experience. Sure, we have to go outside of this to develop - but not with children.
A great question, Gayle. I will enc…

Ask the subject before hand what would have been the optimum outcome, and make that the reframe

Here are my thoughts: In the U.S., a referral would certainly be the way to go, IF the client was being seen by a medical doctor for the problem. If not, you could certainly SUGGEST the client go and then get the referral, but after all, the client…
John and I got esentially the same request a few months back. They actually sent it to John, but since I do the shipping he gave it to me to handle. My answer was simple - it's a scam. Just like you realize Tommy.

I'm in Ventura County. If anybody in L.A. (or Ventura, of course) wants to carpool and share hotel please e-mail me here. I've reserved a 2 queen bed / 2 room suite which can include a pull-out bed. Male or female, strictly platonic.
Sounds like you are doing well with this practitioner, Stephen. All the best!
Hi again Pattie,
I see that you are no newcomer to this realm. Lots of posts are under your belt. Kudos to you!
Imparting with proper timing is an art form. Giving to get is not true sharing. I suggest refraining from being a martyr. (And I am not…
