SELF HARM

Self harm is when someone hurts themselves to relieve deep distress of some kind. For example, it can be: a way to deal with emotional pain, a way to express or release pain, a way to feel or as a way to self-punish etc.

If self harm has been used it may become a way someone regulates their emotions, causing it to become a compulsive and addictive cycle. This cycle only works by giving short term relief so the person is drawn to do it again.

Some symptoms may include feeling

• Worthlessness
• Hopelessness
• Don’t deserve
• Bad
• Shame
• Anxiety
• Overwhelm
• Guilt
• Loneliness
• Emptiness
• Numb
