Break the Cycle: Reclaim Your Life
Therapy for Self-Harm
Feeling
Numb. Lonely. Isolated.
But harming yourself seems like the only way to feel anything. You just want to see the pain on the outside, where you can control it.
Temporary relief. Pain returns
Thinking
I don’t know how to stop.
I don’t know how to stop. This is the only think that helps. It reminds me that my pain is real.
Going through this is extremely painful, and breaking the cycle can feel impossible.
The Potential for Healing And Finding New Ways to Manage These Feelings is Within Reach.
Self-harm is often a coping mechanism for dealing with overwhelming emotions or numbness; however, it doesn’t solve the underlying problems and usually perpetuates the cycle of pain.
Through our work, we will uncover and change what is feeding the cycle.
Without addressing the root cause, the cycle will intensify, and you might experience more frequent and severe episodes - risking your physical and emotional well-being.
Thankfully, you can break the cycle with the proper support.
