Tackling Self-Harm and Anorexia: A Guide for Teens and Parents

When it comes to a teen or young adult struggling with self-harm or anorexia, it's not about you. And again, there's no shame in going and asking for professional help.
Ever wondered what drives teens to engage in self-harm or develop eating disorders like anorexia? In this episode of The Real Common Treatable Podcast, host Clint Mally chats with Erica Johns, a seasoned Licensed Professional Counselor, to unpack these complex issues. Erica, who serves as the Clinical Program Director at Sandstone Care's Reston location, brings a wealth of experience from her work in both Residential and Intensive Outpatient settings.
She breaks down nonsuicidal self-harm, explaining it as a maladaptive coping mechanism rather than an indication of suicidal intent. Erica also sheds light on anorexia, noting that it isn't always about low self-esteem; external pressures from family, school, or peers often play a significant role. This episode is a must-listen for parents, teens, and anyone looking to understand the nuances of these challenges.
Erica emphasizes the importance of professional intervention and the crucial role parents play in monitoring and supporting their children. Tune in for practical advice and heartfelt discussions that aim to provide clarity and hope.
