Rebecca Ruth Reviews 24

Rebecca has been wonderful to work with. My picking started in the first grade and has evolved into different fixations over the decades. 25 years later, its cheek biting that causes daily headaches that I thought couldn’t be fixed. With Rebecca’s help, we’ve examined the root cause to alleviate the urge and she’s given me lots of tools that are working so well! I’m only a few sessions in but she has already helped me so much!

Having struggled with skin picking in the dark with a lot of shame for at least 10 years, it took me a while to build up the courage to open up and seek help. Unfortunately everything I read online about overcoming skin picking gave me no hope or motivation to make the step nor did I have any BFRB specialists around me. When Rebecca’s page popped up for me online I was instantly intrigued, both by the knowledge she showcased and her client reviews and for the first time in my life, I starting considering seeking help for something I thought I would never recover from and have to live with for the rest of my life! After scrolling through her page, I found out that Rebecca herself had struggled with BFRB and overcame it and that was what finally made me reach out to her. Needless to say, opening up to someone who knew exactly what it’s like to go through what you’re going through made it much more easier, there was no shame or hesitance ever involved and the conversation flowed smoothly. For me, Rebecca provided instant relief for something so heavy that I’d carried with me for a long time and for once felt very understood and validated and did not feel alone. I had noticed a change in my skin picking patterns immediately after our sessions had started and I have finally stopped picking on my lips for the first time in so long! The professionalism and dedication Rebecca has for her field and clients is very commendable and heartwarming, she has always reached out to check on me when life got in the way of our communication. Finding Rebecca and working with her has felt like a big favor I’d done to myself and I’m very lucky that my first ever therapy experience has gone this well, all thanks to her. Although I have not yet fully reached the place I want to reach, for the first time in my life I feel like I am hopeful and on a road to recovery.
Thank you Rebecca 🙏🏼

After having trich for 20+ years I didn’t think there was much hope of stopping.
I came across Rebecca on instagram and was blown away by all of the positive reviews so had to give working with her a go. I’m so glad that I did, after just my first session I saw an improvement which has given me hope that I can stop completely.
I really enjoyed Rebecca’s kind and encouraging approach, along with the check ins in between sessions- it really felt like I had someone advocating for me and pushing me along the way.
I couldn’t recommend her more!

I have had trich for about 20 years. After trying several other methods to stop, nothing worked. Then I found Rebecca, read her reviews, did my homework on her...and was impressed! I started noticing improvement after our first session - and I only got better and better. I find, as others have mentioned, I feel better about myself, I love my hair, I am more confident, I feel more beautiful - and I would highly recommend her to anyone with trich.

I did a session with Rebecca Ruth about skin picking around my nails called dermatillomania, a problem I had for many years and felt like had no control over. I would at times do it so much that I would create sores around my nails.

After just one session I experienced a shift. The first two days I would straight away be aware when I started doing it and was stopping myself consciously, but after these two days I noticed not doing it as often, it was starting to fade away.

I perceive it in a different way now, not as much as something I do to relieve stress but on a much deeper level. I understand my triggers and the reasons behind skin picking. When I start doing it, I have an awareness I did not have before and I straight away know why.

Right now I feel like I can control it, make better choices instead of letting my emotions running the show. Rebecca is a talented therapist that makes you feel heard and understood. I see a positive change.

I recommend her 100% to work on skin picking, her style of different techniques she uses is definitely working well to make lasting changes.

Rebecca has been an amazing therapist in my journey! Rebecca is supportive and listens to everything I have to say. I have struggled with Trichotillomania for 16 years and I have noticed a huge change since having sessions with Rebecca. My Trichotillomania hasn’t come to an end just yet but Rebecca has helped me understand when/why I might be doing it and finding solutions to prevent it. Rebecca is so understanding, caring and I always feel comfortable speaking about problems with her! Rebecca regularly emails me to see how I am getting on and is always supportive even if I haven’t had a good week. Rebecca is an amazing therapist and I would recommend to anyone who is struggling!🩷

Rebecca has been amazing in supporting me on my journey to tackle trichotillomania. I have been experiencing this for approx. 10 years and it’s only after my sessions with Rebecca, that I finally see a change. I still have a little while to go but Rebecca has been remarkable. She is so patient and follows up with me after my sessions to see how I’m feeling. I can’t believe how far I’ve come!

Rebecca is very caring and very good at what she does. While I have not stopped pulling my hair out due to to trichotillomania completely, she has helped me see the root causes and the trends that happen. She helped me develop ways to overcome those root causes and talk myself through it. I felt very comfortable with her and safe. It is also nice to get help from someone who has overcome the same things herself!

I found Rebecca online and while I was wary that anyone could help me, I concluded that I wasn't trying anything actively at that moment and I hadn't tried Rebecca's method. I had tried everything and had given up/accepted the trichotillomania as a part of me. I didn't really believe it would help as I had tried:
Habit Reverse Therapy, my GP (who said "can't help and there's a 2 year waiting list for free CBT"), seeing 3x trichologists, acupuncture, I had read all the trich books, filled in worksheets, figured out all my triggers, I joined online trichilllomania support groups, did a course of hypnotherapy, signed up to American trich therapy, went through all my life's traumas yet again, analysing myself from every angle. All that time i had to tape my fingers, wear gloves all the time, wore hats, bandanas, headscarfs, took supplements: NAC, magnesium, B-vitamins, did hair treatments: menthol products for regrowth, rosemary oil, caffeine shampoo, more extensions from the specialist hair loss salon. I switched to having a full wig, attached permanently so that i couldn't access my scalp at all. While my hair regrew, I pulled out all my eyelashes and my eyebrows. It was a continuous circle of guilt, dopamine needing, textural hairs seeking, trying to distract myself with fiddly things: piece of cotton with a few knots on it, smooth stones, fidget toys etc.

I began my online sessions with Rebecca. She asked me questions about my present life and I'd speak about whatever difficulties i was facing that week. Within each session, Rebecca somehow blended my own words with specific positive direction, which in turn had a magical effect on my hair pulling. I realised that I hadn't pulled any hairs: scalp, lashes or brows. I also realised it had already been a month. I'd gone from pulling hairs every single minute of every single day to not pulling anything. I was free of all that cortisol raising, trying to endlessly control the hair pulling urges. 3 months went by completely pull free. I had a minor crisis in December and it returned but another session with Rebecca got me back on track to be absolutely pull-free again. I consider trichotillomania as a huge chapter (two thirds of my life) yet that's now in my past and I have Rebecca to thank for this. It's simply amazing how Rebecca and her method has enabled my hair to grow untouched and now I'm removing the full-head hair piece and going to be wearing a full head of my own hair from now on.

After one session with Rebecca, 16 years of trichotillomania have finally come to an end. In that one session, we delved deeply into the underlying causes of my trich to understand the triggers and address them using helpful tactics and strategies. Eventually, my urge to pull has diminished substantially and I’ve been pull-free ever since. Now? I just got my haircut and I am in love with my hair. I feel free and feel pretty again. My self confidence is restored and my life has changed for the best. I thank Rebecca for her fascinating, mind blowing strategy and continued support. I had almost given up on therapy as I tried with others without impactful results. To love yourself is to try again one more time and to believe you deserve the best out there to help you get there ❤️

Rebecca is a great therapist and I've had some success with her methods. I highly recommend Rebecca to anyone suffering with Trichotillomania.

Rebecca helped me to release the habit of skin picking & scratching that I had for around 3 decades. I have tried many healing modalities and worked with various professionals before but unfortunately nothing seemed to give me the permanent relief I was looking for. I came across Rebecca's services and decided to give it one more go. And it turned out to be one of the best decisions ever.
We had 2 sessions online and Rebecca made me feel at ease, safe and cared for through out - there were tears and laughter and finally relief.
Now the annoying habit has vanished and instead I'm developing new healthy habits that are nourishing my skin and my inner peace.
Rebecca is truly an expert of her field and kind, professional therapist. I wholeheartedly recommend her services.

I've been BFRB-free for nearly six months now, and it still feels surreal. This is because I'd aggressively bitten my nails and picked the skin on my fingers since childhood. It felt like a living breathing part of me and totally unconquerable.

There's so many lovely things I could say about Rebecca, but I'll start with the fact that she's been through the BFRB journey herself. This was immensely reassuring. Knowing that she'd experienced her own journey was a huge anchor because she really empathises and understands the challenges associated with the behaviour. She literally never left my side throughout the time we worked together. Despite several sessions and lapses, she never lost faith in me. She checked in with me regularly, giving me constant encouragement. I really appreciated her kind, realistic approach about not putting pressure on myself to overcome BFRB within a set timeline, or to feel like I should have fixed the issue. She was a pillar of hope on the days when I lapsed and wanted to give up.

Importantly, she helped me sit with and really "feel" these feelings for what they were. This was the most powerful element for me. Often, no words were spoken because she helped me open up space to truly connect with those intense feelings that triggered my BFRB. It's now like a volume has lowered inside of me. I still have urges but I can build in a pause to question and override them.

Rebecca's therapy has changed my life because BFRB felt like such an integral part of me. Her support was incredible. Everyone's experience of BFRB is different and in this respect, she dedicates the time that you truly need, not some predetermined pressured timeframe. I now believe healing happens from the inside, and you really have to "feel it" to heal it. Rebecca helped me open the door to parts of my inner self that I'd suppressed for so long. Thank you Rebecca for bringing me back home to me.

I am so pleased that I found Rebecca and have been able to work with her. She is incredibly skilled, professional and caring. She puts you at ease instantly, which helps you to feel comfortable to be open about issues you’ve faced.
Initially, I felt like the course was expensive - mainly because there was a risk it wouldn’t work. However, it was money well spent. Even though I haven’t stopped picking yet, Rebecca has given me the skills I need to reach that goal. Not only that, she’s helped me understand myself so much better. I thought I was self-aware before working with Rebecca, but there was so much I hadn’t realised about myself. This self-awareness will help me improve other aspects of my life, not only my goal to stop picking.
It’s abundantly clear that this isn’t just a job for Rebecca; she cares deeply about her clients, even after she’s stopped working with them.
If you’re thinking of working with Rebecca, go for it! I’m sure you will get very much out of the experience.

Rebecca was so helpful, kind & patience. Her therapy techniques helped me tremendously in tackling the issues I faced, with regards to lack of self esteem that lead to my diminshed self care. Her methods & teachings with following through her suggestions & hypnotherapy really helped by addressing bad habits I struggled to shift. I would highly recommend Rebecca for her great services along with offering affordable prices.

Rebecca is very compassionate, emphatic and understanding. She truly wants to help and make a difference. Rebecca helped me to address and understand my issue with food. She did this very sensitively by asking questions,and getting me to think about things I hadn't thought of before. This ultimately really helped me. I can only recommend Rebecca

I did hypnotherapy for fatigue and pain a couple years ago (2021), more or less right after I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I wasn't very convinced of hypnotherapy, but thought it wouldn't hurt to try. To my surprise, I had amazing success regarding the fatigue. Rebecca made my fatigue symptoms disappear almost completely, which, if you know s.o. with rheumatoid arthritis, is almost unheard of. Apart from very few, short-lived episodes, I have not experienced any fatigue in the last couple years. And if I ever do, I will for sure go back to Rebecca. I can highly recommend Rebecca. She's also super nice and open to suggestions. She was at the beginning of her journey when she treated me and already delivered an excellent service. By now she has even more experience. For anyone looking for a hypnotherapist who doesn't just deliver results, but is also kind and understanding, I can highly recommend Rebecca. (It doesn't let me select an earlier date, but it was in February 2021). Thanks a lot Becca!

Rebecca is an incredible therapist and has helped me so much with my trichotillomania. My pulling has been horrible since middle school and she has helped me virtually stop pulling by digging at the root causes/traumas in my life and noticing the triggers/stresses.
I still see her when needed and I highly recommend anyone with a BFRD to see her

Rebecca has helped me immensely on my road to recovery! I've been a skin picker for 20 years, but within just one session, I stopped for 5 days straight. I'm still working toward a full stop, but I've made major strides in mental and physical healing with Rebecca's unique method. I'm excited for what lies ahead with our work together. Thank you so much!

After struggling with Trich for more than 15 years, I finally found someone who:
1) listened attentively while also understanding what my struggle feels like
2) could ask the right questions, lead my thoughts into new and helpful directions
3) gave me tools and tricks to take matters into my own hands
4) was calm and understanding to my emotions and helped me overcome initial mental barriers.

I am not "healed", there is still a long way to go, especially as my Trich is linked to further mental problems. But I am proud and happy to say that with 25 years I finally don't have to be ashamed for my condition anymore, I have more control over my actions and I am grateful Rebecca helped me reach this point!
