What is self-harm counseling?

Is self-harm counseling conducted in person or online?

Self-Harm in Grand Rapids, MI—Counselors and Therapists

Difficult and even traumatic life circumstances often drive people to cope in any way they can, even through self-harm. Most people who injure themselves did not ask for these situations in their lives, and they are expressing their pain in what might be the only way they know how to express it: on their bodies. Hate and shame can all too easily turn inward.

Help is available for people who are ready to learn new ways of processing the pain—ways that bring life and hope. That is why Thriveworks Grand Rapids offering therapy for cutting and other forms of self-harm. For many of our clients, inflicting pain upon themselves is the only way they know how to cope, but our therapists have helped them find a new path. Reach out today for help.

Self-Mutilation: Risk Factors

While any stressful or traumatic circumstance may trigger people to cope through self-harm, a few factors in particular raise people’s risk for self-injury. For example, people for face the following may also face a higher chance of participating in self-injurious activity:

  • Psychological Pain: Unfortunately, childhood abuse and neglect is often a common denominator among people who self-harm. Other forms of psychological pain can contribute as well: bereavement, strained relationships, poverty, unemployment, to name a few.
  • Mental Health Diagnosis: Self-harm is not a mental health diagnosis in itself, but it often accompanies other mental illnesses. In particular, self-mutilation often accompanies the following diagnoses—depression, borderline personality disorder, a conduct disorder, bipolar disorder, an autism spectrum disorder, phobias, or schizophrenia.
  • Drug or Alcohol Use/Abuse: In one study conducted in Norther Ireland, in over 60 percent of self-injury cases, alcohol was a factor. Often, drug and alcohol use are present when the injuries are inflicted.

Other Options: Healthy Coping Mechanisms

For many people, self-harm is the only way they know to survive and feel relief. Learning different ways to handle difficult emotions is a challenging journey, but many people are learning new coping mechanisms. For example, people can respond to emotional pain by…

  • Reaching out to a friend. Think about someone who cares about you—someone who would listen without judgment. Could you call that person when you feel upset? Lonely? Scared? Numb? Slowly tell a friend more and more about what you are feeling and thinking.
  • Prioritize your own safety. Avoid triggering situations or media and movies that depict self-harm. Protect yourself, both physically and emotionally, is important.
  • Notice your own emotions. Take a deep breath in a quiet place. Trying different techniques for awareness—yoga and journaling are a few. Give yourself permission to feel anything that arises.

Often, when people are learning new coping techniques, they work with a mental health professional. A skilled therapist can identify which coping skills would be most fruitful in a particular person’s life—given their circumstances and history. Mental health counselors also work with their clients to identify the cause of the self-harm—when it began and what wound it may be seeking to heal. Counselors can then help people heal the foundational cause of the behavior. People can experience freedom from self-injury.
