Self-harm counseling FAQs

What is self-harm counseling?

Self-harm counseling is aimed at helping individuals who struggle with harming themselves break this pattern by addressing the underlying emotional causes and working to develop new, healthier coping skills. Thriveworks self-harm therapists in Charlotte, NC are experienced in treating those who self-harm with empathy, compassion, and unconditional regard in order to help them heal and recover, both physically and emotionally.

How does self-harm counseling work?

Self-harm counseling at Thriveworks often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help clients discover the connections between their thoughts and feelings and their behaviors. By assessing these areas, Thriveworks Charlotte therapists can help clients find and address the true emotional roots of their patterns and, from there, effectively adjust unwanted behaviors.

Is self-harm counseling conducted in person or online?

Self-harm counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does self-harm counseling last?

The duration of self-harm counseling will often depend on a variety of factors, such as the intensity of an individual’s symptoms or the current levels of stress present in their lives. Because of this, treatment can last a handful of months or on a continual basis over the course of years. In the end, it’s up to the client and their individual needs.

Understanding Self-Harm and Its Signs

Self-harm can take many forms, such as cutting, burning, scratching, or even pulling out hair. Recognizing the signs is crucial for seeking help. Common signs include:

  • Wearing long sleeves or pants to cover wounds
  • Fresh wounds like bruises, cuts, or scratches
  • Possession of objects used for self-harm
  • Difficult relationships and impulsivity
  • Feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, or worthlessness

If you or someone you love is exhibiting these signs, it’s important to reach out for professional help.

Causes of Self-Harm

The reasons behind self-harm are often deeply personal and complex. Common factors include:

  • Psychological Pain: Trauma, abuse, neglect, or poverty can trigger feelings of panic, worthlessness, guilt, or anger.
  • Coping Mechanism: Self-harm may serve as a way to distract from pain, relieve anxiety, gain control, or feel any emotion instead of numbness.
  • Communication: It can be a way to express emotions to others or to punish oneself for perceived faults.

How to Support a Loved One Who Self-Harms

If you suspect someone you love is self-harming, you can be a supportive presence by:

  • Seeking Understanding Without Judgment: Offer to listen supportively without criticizing or accusing.
  • Affirming Your Love and Support: Show that you care and are there to help, without trying to force changes.
  • Encouraging Treatment: Support their recovery efforts, such as finding a therapist or removing objects used for self-harm.

Madison may make it very comfortable to open up about what I'm dealing with and also connect with me on similar situation she has been through so if I would recommend other therapists to do the same because it make it easier and comfortable to open up when you're therapist connects and share life experiences and how to cope and get past hard time and be a better person.
