191. Self-Harm and Cutting

Published: March 28, 2023, 9 a.m.

We learn from an early age that it\u2019s not acceptable to harm others. Many would say it\u2019s something we don\u2019t even need to really learn \u2013 that it\u2019s a natural human instinct to not want to cause harm. With that perspective, it\u2019s natural that it would be extremely challenging for people to understand why someone would harm themselves. Why would some voluntarily elect to hurt themselves? Non-suicidal self injury refers to this practice, encompassing the terms self-harm, cutting, and other harmful practices. Dr. Chris Simpson, author of 'Cutting and Self Harm', joins the podcast.
