Picking at the skin, or dermatillomania, is a repetitive behavior where children compulsively pick at their skin, often leading to damage and discomfort. This behavior can stem from anxiety, stress, or boredom. Hypnosis has emerged as a promising intervention by promoting relaxation, enhancing focus, and altering subconscious habits. It helps children gain control over their impulses by tapping into the mind’s capacity to regulate behaviors, making them more aware of their actions and reducing the urge to pick.
