Why Do Kids Self-Harm And How To React As A Parent | Gisela Guttmann, Alliance Counselling

Описание: Self-harm is when a person deliberately hurt themselves as a way to cope with painful and/or strong emotions. If you know or you suspect your child is self-harming, it may be very worrying and upsetting for you. In this video, Gisela Guttmann, psychologist at Alliance Counselling, gives some advice about this topic.

She says: “If you ever find that your child is cutting, my advice to you would be not to panic but you should take this seriously, to be open to talk, to be supportive and if necessary to suggest your daughter should or could seek help from a counsellor, from a psychologist. A psychologist would be experienced in the topic, would offer other coping strategies, help your daughter with other coping strategies but also give this confidential and safe environment.”
