Self-Harm, Cutting and Trauma Recovery

Self Harm

Cutting and self-harm are often ways to express deep distress and cope with painful memories. And although you may want to stop, you may not know how to begin.

Whether you’re dealing with a past trauma or facing overwhelming issues in everyday life, you may have turned to cutting yourself or other self-harm as a way to cope with your problems. Whatever the reason, there is help – and hope – available at Sure Haven.

Understanding why you self-harm can be a vital first step toward your recovery. If you can figure out what function your self-injury serves, you can learn other ways to get those needs met – which in turn can reduce your desire to hurt yourself. Once you better understand why you self-harm, you can learn ways to stop self-harming, and find resources that can support you through this struggle.

At Sure Haven, treatment for self-harm is talk therapy, in which you see trained therapist who can help you get to the root of why you self-harm. Other types of treatment for self-injury include cognitive-behavioral therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and hypnosis. All of our treatment plans are individualized to ensure the proper foundation for long-term recovery is in place.

Cutting and other self-injury may make you feel briefly like you’re better able to handle life again, but then the pain returns without any permanent recovery. You can end this dangerous cycle by learning safer, more healing ways to deal with your problems. The professional treatment staff at Sure Haven is here to help and show you all the ways you can help yourself.

You have the power to find healthier ways to manage your pain. We have the safest place for you to do so. Call us today.
