The Skin Picker's Bible: A short, snappy guide to overcoming skin picking disorder.
A short, snappy guide written from one picker to another. Free from technical mumbo jumbo and gloomy psychobabble. For those who want to get straight to it. With light hearted humor and silly illustrations to make you smile in spite of your demons!
Skin picking disorder is also know as dermatillomania, excoriation disorder, or compulsive skin picking. It usually manifests in the form of repetitive touching, scratching, picking or digging at one’s own skin. Basically- if it dominates your mind, stops you from doing certain things and makes you miserable in any way- then that is all the diagnosis or definition you need and this book will be really rather useful.
Lived experience can be more valuable than any advice a "professional" might give you- so I thought I would share my top-tips with you. Cut out all the nasty, exhausting and expensive mistakes you might make by following incorrect advice.

This would be a good book for people who actively pick and struggle with picking acne, not people who do it passively/unintentionally.

Wowowow
Since getting this book I have changed my life and remembered all the tools I have in my tool box! So sweet to have such a simple guidebook and most importantly compassionate friend in AFEA cheeks who can truly relate to the skin picker. Highly recommend if you’re ready to open your heart to yourself and your healing. YOU deserve it (: you are worthy, right now! That’s the biggest teaching, baby steps, and next thing you know that icky feeling and habit is in your rear view and no longer running your life. So, so grateful. Implementation and integration are key, and love are at the forefront of them all.

Not really helpful.
I'm a skin picker. A serious one, and i don't find that this helps. If I'm resorting to books for help, it means I've exhausted all the recommendations that are already in this book. I'm looking for deeper help. And this book just didn't have it. It's no different than a non picker saying "well just don't pick anymore".
It's not that simple.
