Cover Story: Some people pick, squeeze, or scratch their skin so much that it causes visible damage (bleeding, wounds, or even scars). This behavior, known as excessive (or pathological) skin-picking, is often seen as an unhealthy way to cope with emotions. Disorder models suggest that individuals who struggle with skin-picking may lack effective ways to manage negative feelings. As a result, they turn to skin-picking as a way to distract themselves, reduce tension, or feel some form of relief or satisfaction. Our study’s findings suggest that people who excessively pick their skin may have inaccurate views of their own emotional granularity. Training that helps people pay more attention to their emotions and appreciate the specificity of feelings they experience might help reduce skin-picking by improving emotional understanding and regulation. View this paper
