Why am I hurting myself?
Intentionally hurting yourself can be a way to express difficult emotions. Self-harm may be your way of releasing feelings of distress or anger. It may be your way of coping, but there are other ways to manage your emotions.
Tell a friend or talk to someone you trust about what’s happening. It is normal to be apprehensive about opening up, worrying about a friend's reaction or judgement, but it’s very likely that they’ll simply just want to help.
Pieta wants to support you, by introducing strategies to help you manage your coping skills. We are here for you.
We recognise that self-harm is your current coping mechanism, and it may be working for you right now. Self-harming can help you cope in the present moment, but we will help you develop alternative lifelong coping skills. The Pieta therapy model aims to help move from self-harm to self-care.
We offer up to 12 sessions of free counselling depending on your needs.
You are not alone.
