Understanding Self-Harm in Teenagers
Self-harm is a concerning behavior often used by teenagers as a way to cope with emotional pain, stress, or frustration. It can take various forms, such as cutting, burning, or hitting oneself, and is usually a sign of deeper emotional or psychological distress. Understanding self-harm in teenagers is crucial for early intervention and effective treatment. At Kansas Renewal Institute, we are committed to providing education and support to help families recognize the signs and understand the underlying causes of self-harm.
What Self-Harm Means
Self-harm is often a way for individuals to express feelings they cannot verbalize. It can be a response to:
- Overwhelming negative emotions
- Traumatic experiences
- Pressure from academic and social environments
For some teenagers, self-harm provides temporary relief from their emotional turmoil, but it can lead to long-term physical and emotional consequences. Recognizing self-harm as a cry for help is the first step towards seeking professional treatment that addresses the root causes of this behavior.
Our Self-Harm Treatment
At Kansas Renewal Institute, we offer comprehensive treatment for self-harm that focuses on helping teenagers understand and manage their emotions in healthier ways. Our approach includes a combination of:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) – This therapy helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns that contribute to self-harm behaviors.
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) – DBT teaches coping skills and emotional regulation techniques to manage intense emotions.
- Family therapy – We involve families in the treatment process to improve communication, support, and understanding within the family system.
- Group therapy – Our group therapy sessions provide a safe space for teenagers to share their experiences and learn from others going through similar challenges.
Our skilled therapists work closely with teens to explore the underlying issues contributing to self-harm, helping them develop effective coping strategies and build resilience. We create a supportive and non-judgmental space where teens can feel safe to express themselves and embark on their healing journey.
