Self-harm (harm to self)
Self-harm describes a wide range of things that people do to themselves in a
deliberate and usually hidden way.
In the vast majority of cases self-harm remains a secretive behaviour that can go on
for a long time without being discovered.

MYTHS….
Is self-harm attention seeking?
Self-harm is often seen as a cry for help, a ploy to gain attention or as manipulation. However more often than not
self-harm is a very private and hidden behaviour that does not involve anyone else
The more serious the injury, the more serious the problem?
It is important to take all injuries seriously as the nature of the wound does not represent the extent of the anguish being
experienced
Self-harm is the problem, if we stop this then the person will be fine?
Self harm is rarely the problem, but a solution until other issues are resolved. It is the reasons that lie behind self-harm
that need to be addressed in order to aid recovery
Why?
Self-harming is a result of not having learned how to identify or express difficult feelings in
a healthy way.
Deliberate self-harming can distract from emotional pain and stop feelings of numbness.
Self-inflicted violence is a way to express things that cannot be put into words.
Self punishment or self-hate may be involved. Some people who self-harm have a
childhood history of physical, sexual and emotional abuse.
Self-harming can also be a self-soothing behaviour for someone who does not have other
means to calm intense emotions.
