have you taken care of your physical wounds? if not, go do that now. we'll wait.
yes i have
what had happened just before?
my mom had brought my friend home after we spent the day together, doing nails and facials. it was a fun day, so i don't know why i felt i had to cut.
what were you thinking and feeling?
because she's in college and i dropped out at 15, i must be a failure. so i binged. then i felt guilty and like a failure, so i cut.
why did you end up hurting yourself then instead of some other time? was there an event that was the final straw? what was it?
i was alone
were there outside factors like drugs, alcohol, being off your meds, lack of sleep, etc? can you address those in the future? how?
unbalanced eating (restricting all day, then binging), lack of sleep, stressful situations.
what other ways of coping did you try besides self-harm? how well did they work?
i did not try other ways of coping
in retrospect, are there coping methods that you now realize might have helped? what were they?
yes, i could have written in my journal or read a book. i could have done school work
name at least two things you will do to help yourself remember those coping methods if you end up in this situation again.
i will snap a rubber band or post a note on the fridge
how do you feel about the situation that led to self-harm now? is it resolved? if not, what are some steps you might take toward resolution?
it is not resolved. i should show my mother what i've done and try to talk it through with her. or i could journal about itor hang out with my brother
are you likely to be in that emotional place again? how will you recognize it when you're in that situation?
yes, i will recognize it when, as always, i feel that desperate, itchy feeling
what will you try before you resort to self-harm if you're in that situation again? list three specific things you will commit to trying.
read a book
paint a picture
do school work
