Are you experiencing cutting and self harm?
Cutting and self harm take different forms, and what runs underneath them is emotional pain looking for somewhere to go. At the Colorado Women’s Center in Denver, we know how alone this can feel when you’re keeping it to yourself. Our therapists work without judgment, and our cutting & self-harm therapy makes room for the guilt, confusion, and exposure that tend to come up once you start talking about it. We look at what sits beneath the behavior, whether that’s past trauma, low self-esteem, or anxiety, so you have better options when the pressure builds. Working through your triggers carefully and learning practical techniques loosens the hold self harm has on your life. What follows is other ways to release what you’re feeling, along with more say over what happens next and more kindness toward yourself.
If you’re in crisis or thinking about hurting yourself, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Someone is available around the clock.

How can a CWC therapist help with cutting and self harm?
Cutting can bring relief that passes quickly, and the shame or hopelessness that follows tends to feed the cycle rather than end it. At our Denver center we take a careful look at the emotional and environmental factors involved, without rushing. The work often draws on cognitive and mindfulness-based strategies for tracking harmful thought patterns and putting more supportive ones in their place, and some women also use skills from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for getting through the moments when the urge is strongest. We build in self-awareness exercises that move at a workable pace, since small shifts in how you see a situation add up to a steadier footing. We also make space for the cultural and social pressures that can sharpen a sense of inadequacy, because the context you live in matters to what you’re carrying. Over time, therapy tends to bring more self-acceptance, fewer urges, and a more even emotional footing.
