Take Control
Don't suffer from self-harm in silence any longer
Self-harm or “self-injury“ can be a coping mechanism for dealing with difficult emotions or situations. It can be a way to numb yourself from pain, express anger or frustration, or punish yourself for feeling unworthy. But self-harm is not a healthy way to cope. It can lead to further emotional distress and physical harm.
Self-harm can look different for everyone
Some common forms of self-harm include:
● Cutting
● Burning
● Hitting or punching oneself
● Scratching
● Hair pulling
● Head banging
● Swallowing things
● Piercing the skin with sharp objects
● Intentionally preventing wounds from healing
We are NOT a crisis center. Any ACTIVE suicidal ideation or intention requires immediate attention that The Sassy Shrink is not designed to provide. If you are in immediate danger, even by your own hand, please call 911. If you are in crisis, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255
What about self-sabotage?
Self-sabotage is a form of self-harm that can be harder to see, but it can be just as destructive.
Society understands self-harm to be physical, to the body. Self-sabotage refers to intentionally setting yourself up for failure, compromising your potential and opportunity for success. Some do this actively, while others are completely unaware of their influence in missing the goal.
Sabotage could be present in any area of life, like relationships, at work, or in school. It can manifest in your thoughts, feelings, and behavior:
● Compromising boundaries set for others
● Sacrificing/neglecting the needs of others
● Being critical instead of open to learning and change
● Holding grudges and resentments
● Projecting emotions onto others
● Gaslighting, manipulation in relationships
● Being inauthentic, hiding your true self
The bottom line is this: self-harm, in any form, is a way of coping with pain. If you're struggling to cope, we can help.
