What would your life look like if you could change the things you had control over? Oftentimes life gets overwhelming and we don’t know how to fix it or even know where to start. It may feel like you’ve lost control of your life.

On the outside everything looks ok! Your child or teen is attending school and is maybe even one of the popular kids. They play sports or are involved in an extracurricular activity they were once really passionate about. However, something’s changed. Perhaps they’ve even had a very scary or life-threatening experience. Behind closed doors, your child is really starting to struggle. The stress associated with appearing perfect on the outside is causing internal dilemmas that can lead to anxiety or depression. Developing a healthy sense of self can lead to a positive impact not only on your child, but the rest of your family.

Throughout life we are all challenged by change and events that cause emotional conflict. There are times when we may feel overwhelmed by these challenges, confused by the changes, and unable to see possible solutions. One of the first steps toward those solutions may be choosing to seek the help of a licensed professional. Therapy can help in discovering our capacity to learn new ways of perceiving that may lead to a more satisfying way of seeing life. Then change and personal growth will occur.

Self-Harming Therapists

How does therapy for self-harm work?

A person may turn to self-injury so that they can distract themselves from their stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances. Therapy can address the cause of an individual’s suffering. A therapist can help a person understand why they may want to self-harm and help the person learn new methods of coping. A person may have poor emotion regulation, and treatment such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is helpful for breaking this behaviour. In addition, treatment such as dialectical behavior therapy can help a person manage their tolerance of distress.

Which therapies are best for self-harm?

Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, and mentalisation-based therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are common approaches for people who have painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual cope with distress, regulate emotions, and manage impulsive urges.

Does the tendency to self-harm mean the person is suicidal?

Having this urge does not mean the individual suffers from suicidal ideation. People who want to self-injure look to distract or alleviate themselves from the pain they are experiencing. People with suicidal tendencies want to end life altogether. However, this does not mean a person with the intent to self-harm will not attempt suicide.

How often and how long are therapy sessions for self-harm?

As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Clients may see improvement within 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, maybe, a six-month period. People, especially those with co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, may need to continue therapy for up to 12 to 18 months.
