SkinPick: Honest conversations about skin picking (excoriation disorder) · Supporting Someone with Skin Picking: Your Questions Answered · 11 Aug 2026 podcast

I may like someone telling me outright what what I'm doing and some may not.

So it's really important that you communicate, okay, what do you want me to do in this scenario?

Like you said, is it okay if I hand you this widget?

Um so I really like that you added that in because I think that's really important.

That's really important.

We kinda we kind of forget a little bit about that.

So that's really helpful.

So there's another question here, which I will take.

Um, how do I talk about BFIBs?

Just as a reminder, skin picking, hair pulling and biting.

without making my partner feel judged.

Um, I think we get asked this question

Weekly.

It's a it is a very frequent question.

So I think um one of the biggest fears um that some people may have is that every conversation that we have about a BFRB is just another reminder that I'm picking or pollen or that I'm biting.

And again, it kind of just we speak we're speaking about what Laura just uh spoke about, it then reinforces the shame and the guilt.

So instead of focusing on what you say.

We can also focus maybe on how you say it.

So again, it's just a little bit of an overlap of what Laura just spoke about.

So language is really important.
