I just joined this site. I actually am a Clinical Social Worker working as an outpatient therapist in a community mental health agency. I have managed my own depression and anxiety, but now have developed Compulsive Skin Picking. Cognitive strategies are not working because I know I am doing damage but can't stop.
I am one that goes into a trance like state while picking. I pick at my fingers, toes, scalp, neck, back, and sometimes face. I am wondering what strategies people have tried that seem to be helpful.
