“Before I started working with Annette, I had given up hope that I
could be free from being controlled by skin picking. I had gone to
numerous therapists who either told me they had no idea what skin
picking was, or that I would not be able to be free of the compulsions
without medication.
When I first started talking to Annette, I was depressed and binge
eating and picking almost daily. I didn’t want to be social, I was so
ashamed of what I was doing to myself, and I didn’t believe I deserved
happiness.
After just a month or two of her recommendations, the cloud I was
under began to lift and I started to believe that a different reality
was possible. Annette offered something I had not come across in other
methods of searching for help. I had tried for so long to ignore or
deny my urges to pick, but Annette helped me confront my picking head
on and taught me how accept and understand my urges.
Following just four months of coaching, I have more confidence in my
body and in how my skin looks. It’s rare that I get lost in picking or binging and even rarer that the thought of skin picking controls what I do or who I see. It’s also important to note that Annette was the first
person I talked to who also has suffered from skin picking. Relating
to someone about something I had kept secret and went to great lengths
to cover up for so long was freeing and an invaluable connection.
Annette is a great advocate for the skin picking community, she’s
compassionate, non judgmental, and her support has given me a great,
positive outlook on my compulsions.”
