Self-harm counseling is aimed at helping individuals who struggle with harming themselves break this pattern by addressing the underlying emotional causes and working to develop new, healthier coping skills. Thriveworks self-harm therapists in Marietta, GA are experienced in treating those who self-harm with empathy, compassion, and unconditional regard in order to help them heal and recover, both physically and emotionally.
Self-harm counseling at Thriveworks often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help clients discover the connections between their thoughts and feelings and their behaviors. By assessing these areas, Thriveworks Marietta therapists can help clients find and address the true emotional roots of their patterns and, from there, effectively adjust unwanted behaviors.
Self-harm counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of self-harm counseling will often depend on a variety of factors, such as the intensity of an individual’s symptoms or the current levels of stress present in their lives. Because of this, treatment can last a handful of months or on a continual basis over the course of years. In the end, it’s up to the client and their individual needs.
Underneath self-harm are often traumatic and painful life events and tumultuous emotions. Like most people, people who cut are doing their best to survive and to express their experiences. They often translate their emotional pain into physical pain. While this offers a temporary release, long-term healing often remains out of their grasp.
For many who self-harm, they have found the long-term healing they long for through working with a therapist who can help them identify and heal wounds as well as learn new coping mechanisms for handling difficult emotions that arise. If you are self-harming and are ready for a long-term solution to the pain you feel, know that Thriveworks Marietta has helped many clients find a new way. Reach out today for help.
