How can a CWC therapist help with cutting and self harm?

Self harm may seem like the only release from deep emotional turmoil, yet it often leads to guilt, shame, or regret afterward. At our Boulder center, therapy involves gently uncovering the beliefs and triggers that feed these impulses. Together, we’ll examine feelings of hopelessness, past traumas, and the weight of daily pressures that might push you toward self harm. Our approach blends empathy with practical skills, like mindfulness exercises or journaling, to help you handle intense emotions without resorting to physical harm. We also explore the dynamic between self-esteem and self harm, revealing how learning to value yourself can gradually diminish harmful thoughts. With each session, we focus on building a foundation of hope—one where you understand that recovery is possible, and you don’t have to face these challenges alone.
