Devereux said 7 years, 10 months ago:
I think it’s a good idea that you’re documenting whenever you pick at yourself. It’s all very well trying to get yourself to stop but that’s just treating the symptoms rather than the underlying cause, which is what this will help with.
In this case, it’s all about making a conscious effort to figure out just how often you do it and what exactly made you do it specifically so that you can come back to your diary, see the pattern then try to deal with it from there.
And if you do feel you need to go to a therapist, it’ll at least make their job easier so that they can move into teaching you techniques to help you stop, or at least reduce it.
I wish you the best of luck
