“Self harm is any emotional, physical and psychological harm or damage that is self inflicted to reduce and alleviate the depths of the emotions that one is feeling. It is a survival strategy and a cry for help.” Jennifer McLeod

4 Top Tips When Dealing With Someone Who Self Harms:

Top Tip #1:

Look beyond the self harm and self injury. Self harm is only a smoke screen camouflaging the real issues that people who self harm face.

Top Tip #2:

Self harm is a cry of help and not to be seen or confused with attention seeking

Top Tip #3:

Get on their level and interact with people who self harm as a person, without allowing yourself to be phased by the nature of their self injury

Top Tip #4:

Stay calm and manage your own emotions when dealing with someone who self harms. If you panic, you throw them into panic mode too and in the position and burden of attempting to manage your emotions as well as theirs.

What is Havening Technique™?

Havening Technique™ was created by Dr Ronald Ruden and further developed in conjunction with his brother Dr Steven Ruden. It is a psycho-sensory model and uses sensory input of touch (Havening Touch®) to alter thought, mood and behaviour. Traumatic or very stressful events or experiences create a pathway in the brain which remains there indefinitely (becomes immutably encoded), until or unless people embark on a process to change, obstruct or disrupt that pathway to bring about new enriching experiences.

The family setting is an interesting arena that is rife with a gamut of emotions, trials and tribulations Sometimes relationships can get strained and individual family members can be singled out to bear the brunt of the family strain.

PART 1: This article is a series of articles on invalidation, including the experiences of a child or parent that has been invalidated and how parents, professionals and practitioners can validate children to make a difference to their outcomes.

How Resilient Are Children Really?

How Resilient Are Children Really? By Jennifer McLeod When a crisis or traumatic situation occurs we often hear people say something like “he/she will be fine. Children are very resilient. They will pull through it.” Yes children and young people will “pull through” it but at what cost? At what cost to themselves? At what cost to society? Let’s consider for a moment an adult experiencing a similar or the same traumatic experience, e.g. bereavement or marriage break up.

Self Harm From a Student’s Perspective

Self harm is when someone decides to take out their problems toward themselves in a deliberate way. Some people may only ever self harm once in their lifetime but some people do continue throughout their life until they seek help to deal with their issues. Many people find it to be a way that helps them deal with problems and it becomes the norm when dealing with stress.

When Helping Others Is Not Helping

I will approach this article from different perspectives as below: a) Helping people who do not want to be helped rnb) Helping people from the professionals own misdirected objectives rnc) Abandoning help for people too soon a) There are many young people who need our help for a variety of reasons to assist them in moving forwards with their lives, which includes young people who self harm. They may approach you for help but on the face of it, it appears that they really don't want our help, which poses a dichotomy for helping professionals. What do you do in that situation?

People Of All Classes Self Harm

As the heading says, people of all classes are capable of doing self harm. It doesn't matter what age, background or race you've come from, it still can happen. Even people, who appear to be successful in their lives, could do self harm. Let's take Victoria Pendleton for example. Victoria Pendleton, a British cyclist, is considered as one of the most successful woman and Olympian by having won three gold Olympic medals and nine world titles. Pretty impressive! But she admitted on having done self harm before when she was younger.

What Is The Best Way To Support Someone Who Self Harms?

There is a myth that those who self harm are seeking attention; on the contrary, people who self harm are known to keep their actions private. Common reasons such as shame or fear prevent the individual from asking for help; this is why an important factor into supporting people who self harm is knowing how to support them. Approaching the issue may seem daunting, but by breaking it down into individual steps we can learn how to provide self harm help to assist an individual towards recovery.

Young Prisoners Battle With Self Harm And Self Injury

In 2009 Rob Allen published an article on the Guardian website called Prison is no place for children. That statement still rings true today. He continues to say that "The prison inspectorate's disturbing report of the culture of violence and fear in Cookham Wood Young Offender Institution (YOI) prompts serious questions about whether prisons should continue to accommodate children under 18."
