HEALING THE HURT WITHIN: UNDERSTAND SELF-INJURY AND SELF-HARM, AND HEAL THE EMOTIONAL WOUNDS
This book should be carefully digested by any practitioner who works with people who self- injure.
A very comprehensive book that reaches out to those who self-injure and informs those, that are interested in the topic alike. The book features a "cycle of self injury", which is most helpful in terms of defining the urge prior to SI and explaining how the cycle works and what changes need to be made in order to stop the process. However, something that makes this book different from all the others, is how the author is able to relate to people, who struggle with the issue, and who took the time to write in her own words a "plea on behalf of those who self injure", which is a response to the many poems of self injurers, some of which are also included in the book. Thus, she creates an atmosphere of understanding and acceptance, and most importantly, hope.
