Lori Vann on Tackling Self-Injury: Root Causes and Real Solutions
“Our job isn't to go in and make those assumptions and force what we think is in their best interest... You have to get to the root problems and that can go into attachment disorder situations.”
What happens when we stop just treating the symptoms and start addressing the root causes of self-injury? Lori Vann joins Curt Neider and Shelley Mangum on The Illuminate Recovery Podcast to dive into this critical topic. As an expert in non-suicidal self-injury, Lori has authored several books, including 'The Caregiver's Guide to Self-Injury' and 'The Practitioner's Guide to the Treatment of Self-Injury'.
In this episode, she introduces the Vann Tree Model, a fresh approach that focuses on treating the underlying issues rather than just the visible symptoms. Lori also discusses how social media is affecting younger and younger children, leading to a rise in self-injurious behaviors among pre-teens. She provides valuable parenting strategies for those struggling to support their children through these challenges.
The conversation doesn't stop there; Lori sheds light on attachment disorders, PTSD, and various treatment approaches that can make a real difference. If you're looking for a compassionate and practical discussion on self-injury, this episode is a must-listen.
