Mima Simic: Overcoming Self-Harm, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Self-harm can feel like the only way to cope. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Struggling with urges to self-harm or overwhelmed by emotions you can't always name? This refreshingly honest guide is designed for teenagers navigating tough times - no matter how stuck you feel right now.

Inside, every chapter breaks things down without pressure. You'll find real accounts from young people whose journeys illuminate the many shapes that self-harm and recovery can take. Discover how triggers, thoughts and social media use connect, and start to recognise your own self-harm 'chain'. Learn how cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) tools, journalling, grounding and distraction techniques can build your personal toolkit to manage urge waves - even on your hardest days.

You won't find empty promises or calls to 'just stop.' Instead, you will learn to:
· Work out what matters most to you, and find practical ways to stick closer to your values
· Make your environment safer and your support network stronger
· Understand your emotions without judgement
· Identify your personal triggers, and build a recovery plan that actually works

OVERCOMING FOR TEENAGERS is a series to support young people through common mental health issues during adolescence, using scientific techniques that have been proven to work.
