A Workbook for Teens Who Cut & Self-injure. This comprehensive workbook helps teens who self-injure explore the reasons behind their need to hurt themselves and sets forth positive ways to deal with the issues of stress and control.

When used as a therapy tool with a trained counselor, teens discover the root causes of self-injury and develop a program to end this dangerous behavior. This professional edition includes both the book and a companion CD that offers the complete book and printable worksheets for clients to use during counseling sessions, or as homework.

Self-injury can be a disturbing symptom of a variety of conditions, including eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. Teens who self-injure often cut or burn themselves, but may also engage in other harmful practices. The book begins with a series of exercises designed to help teens understand why they self-injure and to dispel myths about self-injury. It goes on to help them tackle self-esteem issues, recognize and disarm the triggers that lead to self-injury, communicate about self-injury, cope with difficult emotions, and commit to change.
