Understanding Self-Harm & Finding the Right Support
Self-harm is a serious and often misunderstood behavior. It occurs when someone intentionally injures themselves as a way to cope with emotional pain, overwhelming feelings, or distress. While it’s not always a su***de attempt, it is a sign that someone is hurting deeply and needs compassionate support.
Self-harm can include cutting, burning, or hitting oneself, and often begins in adolescence but can continue into adulthood. Those who struggle may feel shame, isolation, or difficulty regulating emotions, which can keep the cycle going.
At Archway Behavioral Health, we provide a safe, judgment-free space where individuals can explore the emotions behind self-harm and learn healthier ways to cope. Through evidence-based therapy, emotional regulation skills, and supportive care, healing is possible. 💙
If you or someone you love is struggling, help is available.
