Everyone Expresses Their Pain Differently
From an outsider’s perspective, self-harm can look like a selfish plea for attention—something that will go away if it is ignored. This is completely untrue.
Many of those who have thoughts of suicide or engage in self-harm are extremely sensitive people. They are usually born with a heightened innate emotional sensitivity that can be a beautiful quality—if they know how to manage it. These individuals are genuinely caring and empathetic and don’t really want to hurt themselves—or anyone, for that matter.
Get Empowerment And Hope
I feel like I am a lost cause.
I am afraid that my loved one will come back different, in a bad way.
We understand that change can be difficult—even scary. However, our approach to healing always balances self-acceptance with positive change. In our sessions, your loved one can gain the resources and tools needed to change not who they are but how they react to triggers. In time, they will be able to harness their sensitivity and manage their feelings in a way that safeguards their health and brings peace into your relationship.
