Self Harm / Self Injury / Cutting
Self harm behaviors such as cutting are maladaptive ways people use to relieve tension and stress. Sometimes such behaviors are hidden from others, with less visible sites on the body chosen for cutting. At other times, the cutting is quite visible to others and also becomes a mean of communicating pesonal distress. One of the most potent ways to change this behavior is through Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
