Most teens who self-harm are not trying to end their life.

They’re trying to cope with emotional pain that feels too overwhelming to hold on their own.

In this episode, we talk about what self-harm really is, what’s happening underneath the behavior, how stress and emotions stay in the body, and how parents can respond in a way that keeps connection open instead of shutting it down.

If you’re a parent, caregiver, or teen trying to understand this more deeply, this conversation is for you.
