Frequently Asked Questions
Why do people harm themselves?
Self-harm is most often an attempt to cope with unbearable emotions, numbness, or inner pain. It provides a temporary sense of control or relief. It is not a desire to die, but a sign that the person needs better coping strategies.
How can a psychologist help with self-harm?
The psychologist helps identify triggers, develop alternative coping strategies, and process underlying emotions. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is particularly effective and focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills.
What should I do if someone I know self-harms?
Show care without judging, and avoid ultimatums like 'just stop.' Listen and acknowledge the pain behind the behavior. Encourage professional help and offer to support the process. In acute danger, contact psychiatric emergency services or Livslinjen (70 201 201).
