Self-harm can be difficult to understand until you hear it clearly and carefully explained with the most beautiful compassion by today’s guest Dr Madeline Wishart. Madeline talks us through what non-suicidal self injury (NSSI) means, when it happens, why it happens, the function of NSSI as a behaviour, signs to look for to identify if someone you care about might be self-injuring, what to do and what not to do as a parent or carer, powerful strategies to support anyone who is self-injuring, a brilliant rebuttle to the idea that self-harm is ‘attention seeking’, where to get help and so much more.

Dr Madeline Wishart is a Clinical Psychologist with a special interest in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), and young people who experience difficulty in regulating their emotionally and tolerating distress. She has a PhD, along with a Masters in both Professional and Clinical Psychology. Madeline currently divides her time between her private practice – Wishart Psychology; and working in a consultative capacity with schools and organizations providing professional development, therapeutic support and policy development around NSSI, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and coping skills more broadly.
