Question 1

I have to get this stuff out for it to heal better.

Answer 1

It will heal better and faster on its own. There is nothing I have to do to help the process. I will leave it alone.

Question 2

I have to pull at this loose scab.

Answer 2

It will come off on its own when it’s ready. The longer it stays on the better the wound heals. There is nothing I have to do to help the process. I will leave it alone.

Question 3

I have picked at this one scab and it was ok. I might do some of the other scabs and start from fresh afterwards.

Answer 3

Picking the other scabs will be worse. They will heal better and faster on their own. There is nothing I have to do to help the process. I will leave them alone.

Question 4

I have picked (a lot) today so I lost this day. I might as well stop trying not to pick and start again tomorrow.

I can start again right now. The more I let my skin heal on its own the better. I am not gaining anything from picking.

Question 5

I have to check the state of the wounds on my face.

Answer 5

I don’t need to. I know they are healing on their own. There is nothing I have to do to help the process.

I will just pick this one obvious one.

If I pick this one I will pick more. It will go away on its own. I will leave it alone.

Question 7

I shouldn’t be picking.

I can and want to put my hand down and do EFT

Question 8

I haven’t picked for a long while. The scabs are ready to be picked.

Question 9

I’m touching my face a lot. I can feel I’m going to pick soon.

Question 10

I haven’t picked from a long time. I deserve this small session.

Answer 10

I don’t want to pick. I’m happier without the habit.
