Conceptualizing Self Harm

In this episode, Jay joins me to discuss what Self Harm is and why people engage with this type of activity. This episode might be triggering to those who are not ready for this type of honest discussion so please be safe and feel free to skip this episode if you find at any point you are feeling overwhelmed 💗 We will be discussing some statistics that can be found in the Self Harm Toolkit https://www.suicideinfo.ca/local_resource/self-harm-and-suicide/ and talk about our own experiences with self harming in the form of cutting. According to researchers, 65-80% of people with BPD have used self harming as a form of emotional regulation, although it is important to remember that self harm can also be a symptom for other mental health illnesses such as depression or PTSD. As I hope we have explained, there are many reasons why people self harm and it is my goal that we continue to have these types of honest conversations to allow people to feel less stigmatized if they need professional help. Feelings are hard to manage alone so please don't hesitate to reach out on my instagram @journey.bound if you want to talk or need some more resources. I hope you know you are not alone in any of your struggles and I hope you find ways to experience this beautiful life in a way that is loving towards yourself and your body 🖤
