  • dbt skills workbook for teen self-harm

    by Sheri Van Dijk Year Published: 2021

    Do you cut or self-harm? Do you feel like it gives you a sense of control in a world where you so often feel helpless and powerless? Do you do it to distract from emotional pain, or just feel something other than total numbness? There's a long list of reasons why you may self-harm.

Fortunately, there are healthier and safer ways to manage your emotions.
