Lofty, sending positive vibes your way for a GREAT interview. ~~~~~
For your son, a suggestion I have is the website acne dot org. There is a sub-forum on Skin Picking under the Emotional Impacts of Acne forum. INCREDIBLY HELPFUL. I only lurk there. The forum is populated with mostly teenagers who relate and support each other. There is another site completely focused on picking called Stop Picking On Me. I like acne dot org better because it is solutions based, imo. The Stop Picking site can be a trigger, imo. The way out of the self-harm cycle imo is awareness, knowledge, tools, and support.
Hoping your neck feels better SOON.
TO WORK WITH ME!
