| Self-Harm Rehab |Self-Injury Treatment | Counselling & Therapy Self-harm rehabilitation centre Self-harm refers to intentional self-injury, often taking the form of self-inflicted cuts and other self-wounding. Habitual self-injury requires professional treatment. A self-harm rehabilitation centre will provide dedicated and focused treatment for deliberate self-harm. Self-harm addiction is a severe problem that can affect men and women of all ages. Deliberate self- harm entails the risk of serious injury but also, more fundamentally, self -harming behaviour is a symptom of an underlying problem. Treatment must deal with the root causes of self- harm if it is to be effective. Expert treatment at a self-harm rehabilitation centre will address the emotional problems underlying self- harming behaviour and help those with an addiction to self-harm to work through the traumatic experiences they may have experienced, and to resolve emotional difficulties. Deliberate self-injury is a manifestation of a substantial emotional problem. Treatment will usually include individual or group counselling sessions to deal with these issues. Counselling will help self-harmers to overcome feelings of self-loathing and low self-esteem. The peer support found in group counselling may be especially effective in this regard, helping to boost confidence and self-worth. Expert counsellors will determine which combination of treatments is best suited to each person on a case-by-case basis. Self-harmers frequently turn to self-injury in response to an upsetting incident. Treatment at a self-harm rehabilitation centre will focus on helping self-harmers to deal with traumatic events in a more constructive manner, and to work on strategies to cope with everyday life without resorting to self-harming behaviour. Treatment for self-harming may also include avoidance strategies, such as alternative behaviours the self-harmer can engage in instead of self-injury. However, merely stopping self-injuring behaviour does not deal with the fundamental problem. A holistic and effective programme at a self-harm rehabilitation centre will address the root causes of self-injuring behaviour for a happier, more successful life, with long-term results.
