Self-harm is a much more common occurrence than we might think. It is t something we may care to think about and it is easy t to spot the signs, even the obvious ones. Yet once the thoughts invade our thinking, they are compelling. It may be you. Or someone you kw and love might well be suffering in silence. This book explores the issues in a detailed and practical way, so that both sufferers from self-harm and their nearest and dearest can begin to deal with this terrible compulsion. How do we feel? What do we do when we realise that someone is self-harming? How can we move past our own powerful feelings, to change a mindset that has become focused upon self-destruction? We may t want to address this problem, and there are easy answers. But if we do, we will be able to help ourselves or someone we love back to a fuller, healthier and happier life.
