• #41 31 Treatment Plan Ideas for Reducing Self-Injury and Self-Harming Behaviors — Amanda L. Smith, LCSW

  https://www.hopeforbpd.com/borderline-personality-disorder-treatment/managing-self-harm-in-bpd

  Self-injury or self-harming behaviors can be difficult to treat. […] Although self-harming behaviors are referred to as non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), I believe that its crucial to also assess for suicidal thinking or planning when addressing self-injurious behaviors. […] Many of the ideas below are adapted from or are a part of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) but clients may also benefit from a treatment like cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) or mindfulness practices (a curriculum like mindfulness-based stress reduction can be a good place to start). […] Note: Self-harming behaviors can be serious and should not be ignored. Please do not dismiss these behaviors as manipulative or attention-seeking. […] Create a safety plan […] Address self-harm from a psychoeducational perspective

• #42 Treatment For Self-Harm Behavior: Therapy, Medications, & More

  https://www.therecoveryvillage.com/mental-health/self-harm/treatment/

  People are not usually prescribed medication directly for self-harm because currently there are no drugs designed to address these behaviors alone. […] Psychiatric hospitalizations represent the most intensive form of treatment for mental health concerns because the patient remains at the hospital for the entire treatment. […] Following discharge from the psychiatric hospitalization, it will be essential for the individual to find follow-up care to continue the progress made during inpatient care. […] Whether treatment for self-harm is inpatient or outpatient, the patient will need to focus on relapse prevention and aftercare once self-harming behaviors stop. […] Self-harm support groups can also be used to limit the desire for self-harm while expanding someone’s social network. […] In times like these, self-harm hotlines are valuable resources that allow someone to speak to a supportive professional to maintain safety no matter the location. […] If you or a loved one is struggling with substance use disorder and co-occurring self-harm, decide to take action by contacting The Recovery Village.

• #43 Self-Harm & Eating Disorders

  https://www.eatingdisorderhope.com/treatment-for-eating-disorders/co-occurring-dual-diagnosis/self-injury

  Therapy can provide key behavioral support for eating disorders and self-harming recovery, as therapy will teach the individual how to alter their cognitions and strengthen and use their skills in order to more effectively cope with distress. […] Therapies that will support treatment of both include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and family-based treatments. […] A key part of preventing eating disorders and self-harm relapse is to continue receiving support even when the behaviors themselves are extinct or occur very rarely. This support may look like bi-weekly therapy sessions, engagement in support groups, or continuing to take prescribed medications. The important part is recognizing that continued work needs to be put into maintaining recovery, as these temptations do not simply “go away” forever.

• #44 Treatments for Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors in Youth: Progress and Challenges

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7480822/

  Self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) remain a common clinical problem in youth. This article reviews the state of knowledge regarding psychosocial treatments for SITBs in youth. Broadly speaking, psychosocial treatments that incorporate parents/family and that emphasize skills development (including emotion regulation and interpersonal skills) appear to produce the best outcomes. […] We also describe several challenges to the implementation of evidence-based psychotherapy, as well as potential solutions to these challenges, and provide an illustrative case example. […] Effective intervention for at-risk youth is therefore more pressing than ever, especially given evidence that severity of suicidal ideation and attempts at an early age is strongly predictive of future attempts in this age group.

[…] The inclusion of family and skills-development in interventions may be particularly important ingredients when treating SITBs in youth. […] The growing evidence base for the treatment of SITBs in youth is promising, and many challenges to care remain even in the context of these evidence-based approaches. […] Despite the growing number of efficacious interventions well-suited for adolescents presenting with SITBs, a concerning number of youth still do not access mental health services at any level.

  Most interventions examined were not originally intended to target SITBs, but rather psychopathology broadly defined. […] Because the causes of SITBs remain unknown, existing SITB-specific interventions may not effectively target causal processes underlying SITBs. Identifying and disrupting these processes is critical for developing highly effective interventions. […] This meta-analysis indicates that most youth SITB interventions produce nonsignificant treatment effects. Results were largely consistent over time, regardless of intervention type, SITB outcome type, and sample and study characteristics. […] We hope that this study catalyzes research prioritizing the identification of SITB causes and exploring novel approaches to the study and treatment of SITBs in youth.

  When assessing for self-harm, counselors should not hesitate to ask clients directly about whether an injury was deliberate to determine intent, Visconti says. […] Understanding the full context of a client’s NSSI can help a counselor identify the reasons why they engage in the behavior and, ultimately, personalize and tailor treatment to meet their needs. […] A counselor’s role then is to help the client identify and understand those needs and find ways to meet them without turning to self-harm. […] The self-injury is not the actual problem; it’s what’s underneath it. All the underlying stuff the why is the problem, and [counselors] can miss the boat if [they] don’t explore it. […] Santmyer finds that the ACCEPTS skill from DBT is particularly helpful to strengthen clients’ ability to overcome distressing emotions and situations without turning to self-harm.
