Dermatillomania, or skin picking disorder, affects 3-15% of Australian adolescents and is characterised by recurrent urges to pick at healthy skin, leading to tissue damage and significant distress. Our personalised self-hypnosis sessions offer an evidence-based therapeutic intervention specifically designed to address this body-focused repetitive behaviour through clinically proven habit reversal techniques.
Hypnotherapy works by accessing the subconscious mind where automatic picking behaviours are stored, allowing for the reprogramming of neural pathways that drive compulsive responses. Your qualified clinical hypnotherapist creates a custom recording that interrupts the unconscious trigger-response cycle, installing new healthy alternatives that satisfy the same neurological pathways without causing skin damage. This approach addresses both the automatic nature of picking behaviours and the underlying stress or emotional triggers that fuel the disorder.
Unlike generic recordings, each session is individually crafted based on your specific picking patterns, triggers, and behavioural cycles. Clinical studies demonstrate impressive 75-85% success rates using personalised hypnotherapy for skin picking disorders, with most clients experiencing significant symptom reduction within 2-5 sessions. Your custom MP3 is delivered within 48 hours, allowing you to begin addressing your compulsive picking behaviours immediately in the comfort of your own home.
