#270 | Why We Engage in Self-Harm
Manage episode 401105229 series 2949275
Tigger Warning: Self-harm/Suicide
We all carry unseen battles, and sometimes, these struggles manifest in ways that are hard to understand, even for those experiencing them. Self-harm, a topic often shrouded in silence, is the focus of today's episode. Self-harm is a profound and often misunderstood struggle that affects individuals across various backgrounds, particularly adolescents and young adults. The prevalence of self-harm among young people is alarmingly high, with statistics indicating that a significant portion of adolescents and young adults experience these behaviors. This revelation underscores the importance of discussing self-harm openly and without judgment to destigmatize the topic and provide the necessary support for those affected.
