Excoriation disorder

Excoriation disorder, also known as skin-picking disorder, is characterised by recurrent picking of the skin resulting in lesions, distress, or impairment. It is considered part of the obsessive-compulsive spectrum.

Therapists at ShiftGrit use the ShiftGrit Core Method™ to reveal limiting beliefs that drive compulsive behaviours. Reconditioning these beliefs helps clients shift automatic responses toward healthier coping patterns.
