Scenario

When family members share skin-picking behaviors and monitor each other

My teenage daughter and I both struggle with body-focused repetitive behaviors around our skin, and we've started noticing and calling each other out when we're picking or scratching, but it's becoming this weird dynamic where we're both skin monitors for each other. I want us to support each other's healing but I'm worried we're becoming too focused on each other's habits instead of our own.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared behavioral patterns around skin create complex accountability dynamics that can become counterproductive when the focus shifts from self-awareness to mutual surveillance.
