🎧 Join Dr. Ed Daube, "The Emotions Doctor," as he shares 32 years of experience working with young women who self-harm, offering compassionate insights about breaking the cycle of cutting while finding healthier ways to cope.

Through expert perspective and deep understanding, Dr. Daube reveals why cutting isn't about suicide - it's about trading emotional pain for physical pain - while offering hope and practical guidance for both those who cut and those who want to help.

This essential episode explores:

  • The critical difference between self-harm and suicide attempts
  • Why physical pain becomes a distraction from emotional trauma
  • How to recognize signs of distress before cutting begins
  • The importance of non-judgmental support and understanding
  • Why telling someone to "just stop" never works
  • Building trust with those who self-harm
  • Connecting with professional help while maintaining dignity

Perfect for: Young people struggling with self-harm, parents seeking to understand and help, school counselors and administrators, mental health professionals, and anyone supporting someone who cuts. Plus: Essential resources for crisis support and long-term healing.
