CAUSES: HOLISTIC CAUSES

Family Traditions

All through High School, I had beautiful nails and cuticles. It was like people knew me for my fingers. I didn’t start picking my cuticles until college. And it was in college is when I really got involved with a very abusive man.
A common thread through many pickers is the experience of childhood abuse. If you were the victim of abuse, you quite possibly learned this behavior from your abuser.

Remember that abuse can come in many forms: physical to insidious verbal, mental and emotional abuse. Neglect is another form of mistreatment that can result in a lifetime of feeling inadequate and unworthy.

Usually an abusive partner is someone we are close to and have feelings for. If it is a parent or a sibling, there is a strong bond that is difficult to overcome. And if it is another family relative or friends a little more removed, we still may feel that familial bond and guilt.

You take over the job of abuse. The cycle of abuse usually follows into adulthood. If you belong to this group, it is not unusual to turn the abuse back around towards yourself. You swear you would never put anyone else what you went through. Some people even choose not to have children for fear of passing along the abusive tendencies, yet think nothing of taking their abusive feelings out on themselves.

You may have found a partner to continue the abuse you've grown accustomed to. You may even abuse yourself as punishment for allowing that to happen. And if you are alone, you still have found a way to abuse yourself by picking at yourself.

Childhood abuse is a very serious subject and numerous books have been written on the subject. If you experienced abuse as a child, I highly suggest that you do the reading and counseling necessary to help you survive and recover. You may find it will help you overcome your picking as a byproduct.
