At Wave Counselling and Wellness, our self harm therapists are here to guide you on your journey towards a brighter future.
Understanding Self-Harm
Self-harm, also known as self-injury or self-mutilation, refers to the deliberate infliction of harm on one’s body as a way to cope with emotional pain, stress, or trauma. Self harm can take many forms, including cutting, burning, scratching, or hitting oneself.
Our Approach to Self-Harm Therapy
- Comprehensive Assessment: Our Self-Harm therapists conduct a thorough assessment to understand the underlying factors contributing to self-harm, including emotional triggers, past trauma, and coping mechanisms.
- Evidence-Based Interventions: We utilize evidence-based therapies such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address the root causes of self-harm and develop healthier coping strategies.
- Emotion Regulation Skills: We teach practical skills for managing intense emotions, such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation, to help individuals cope with triggers and reduce the urge to self-harm.
- Trauma-Informed Care: Many individuals who engage in self-harm have experienced trauma, and our therapists provide trauma-informed care to address underlying trauma and promote healing.
