Next Steps Toward Healing and Recovery
The most important step is to find the right help for your teen. Most people who engage in NSSI have underlying emotional issues that need to be addressed appropriately. Although addressing NSSI and any suicidal thoughts is the first priority of treatment, once those behaviors and thoughts are reduced, the emotional distress needs to explored and worked through for healing to occur. Additional coping strategies and skills, communication techniques, and behavioral changes are usually necessary to provide your teen a strong foundation to manage future crisis situations, regulate their emotions well, and express their needs effectively when they need support and help. This is where Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) can play a strong role in your teen's improvement and healing.
