have you taken care of your physical wounds? if not, go do that now. we'll wait.
Yes
what had happened just before?
I ate dinner
what were you thinking and feeling?
Sad and upset. I don't know why..school and my life.
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?
No, it was a BIG trigger I didn't cut for two days.
how did the situation get to the final straw stage? trace it back through the events that led up to the last event. look for some point at which you could have made a different decision and not arrived at the final straw.
were there outside factors like drugs, alsohol, being off your meds, lack of sleep, etc? can you address those in the future? how?
Not really, just School and having no friends
what other ways of coping did you try besides self-harm? how well did they work?
I ate dinner..annd tryed to go to sleep. Didn't work very well
in retrospect, are there coping methods that you now realize might have helped? what were they?
Maybe drawing on my skin or using the computer.
name at least two things you will do to help yourself remember those coping methods if you end up in this situation again.
Write it down in Notepad
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?
are you likely to be in that emotional place again? how will you recognize it when you're in that situation?
I always am in that Emotional Place.
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.
