What role does therapy play in treating self-harm?

Therapy is vital in treating self-harm as it helps individuals understand the underlying issues and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can be effective in addressing the thoughts and behaviors associated with self-harm.

Therapists provide a safe space for individuals to express their feelings and work through emotional challenges.

Therapeutic techniques may include building self-esteem, learning emotional regulation skills, and creating a support system.

Ongoing therapy helps individuals track progress, set goals, and address any setbacks in their recovery journey.
