What is Self-Harm?
Self-harm is the deliberate injuring of one’s own body as a means to deal with some form of emotional distress (described more here).
Self-harm can take many forms, such as:
-
cutting,
-
burning,
-
picking or scratching at the skin,
-
pulling hair,
-
biting,
-
hitting,
-
breaking bones,
-
inserting objects into the body.
Self-harm is a symptom, not an illness, and therefore points to a deeper emotional struggle and is not the entire issue that needs addressed.
