If it's a cry for help, you need to help them.
Feeling overwhelmed and looking for ways to cope? In this episode of 'Bold Beautiful Borderline', hosts Laurie Edmundson and Sara Amundson tackle the tough topic of self-harm. Drawing from their own experiences, they shed light on why people turn to self-harm and how it’s often misunderstood. Laurie and Sara explain that self-harm is a way for some to regain control over their emotions, not just a plea for attention.
They also dive into the misconception that self-harm is always linked to suicidal thoughts, offering a clearer perspective on the issue. But it's not all about the struggles. Laurie and Sara share practical coping mechanisms that have helped them and others manage their urges in healthier ways. From holding ice cubes to using distraction techniques, they provide a toolkit of alternatives that can make a real difference.
They also discuss how friends and family can offer meaningful support to those dealing with self-harm. The episode doesn't shy away from the hard truths but approaches them with empathy and honesty. Laurie and Sara emphasize the importance of understanding and supporting those who self-harm, rather than judging or ignoring the issue. They also provide valuable resources, like crisis hotlines and support networks, for anyone needing immediate help.
If you or someone you know is struggling with self-harm, this episode offers both hope and practical advice. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to understand more about this complex issue and find ways to support loved ones in their journey toward healthier coping strategies.
