Self Harm

We believe in treating root causes with dignity and respect, avoiding cookie-cutter programs by turning to results-based modalities.

What is self-harm?

Many expressions of self-harm manifest in physical self-abuse. You may feel a compulsion to pick scabs, pull hair, or burn your skin in response to stress. Self-harm may also lead to feelings of worthlessness and may result in suicide attempts for at-risk individuals.

If you or a loved one are struggling with expressions of self-harm, it’s crucial to look for a loving, caring environment where you can find rest and recovery. The licensed clinicians at Promising Outlook have everything you need to get started, offering 24/7 confidential support, customized programs, and intensive outpatient therapies in person or online.

When to seek treatment for self-harm behaviors

Many self-harm behaviors go beyond the obvious and may not be evident to outside parties. Patients may go to great lengths to cover their behaviors and make it difficult — if not impossible — to see the scope of harm.

Some of the least obvious expressions of self-harm include:

  • Eating disorders 
  • Deliberate drinking or drug abuse
  • Overexercising to the point of pain
  • Unsafe sexual behaviors
  • Remaining in dangerous or abusive relationships
  • Negative affirmations and verbal self-abuse

It’s never an easy decision to seek treatment for self-harm. You may worry about what others think or feel unworthy of receiving help. But at Promising Outlook in Riverside, CA, we can help you sustainably reclaim confidence with healthy strategies and coping mechanisms. Our goal is to help you lead a happy, free, and self-fulfilling life — one step at a time.
