The connection between skin picking, OCD, and stored trauma

I get questions about skin picking and other OCD-like behaviours a lot! Many of my students report that they experience this, and that they stop this mild form of self-harm as they begin to release trapped trauma, become more somatically aware, and regulated in their nervous systems. Back in May of 2020 I answered a question that helped clarify a few things around this and what might be going on at the physiological level.
