Self-Harm Support & Recovery
If You're Hurting Yourself to Feel Something—or to Feel Nothing at All—You're Not Alone
Self-harm is not a cry for attention. It’s often a cry for relief, control, or to silence pain that has no words. Whether you’re cutting, burning, picking, or engaging in dangerous behaviors, we see the pain underneath—and we treat that, not just the surface symptoms.
At Totality, we provide compassionate, clinically grounded support for individuals struggling with self-harm. No shame. No judgment. Just real help from people who understand what it feels like to be overwhelmed and not know how else to cope.
What Self-Harm Can Look Like
Cutting, scratching, or burning the skin
Hitting yourself or intentionally bruising
Preventing wounds from healing
Risk-taking or self-endangerment
Hair pulling, skin picking, or substance-related harm
Hiding scars or wearing long sleeves in heat
Emotional withdrawal or feelings of emptiness, guilt, or numbness
Persistent thoughts of self-punishment
Why People Self-Harm—and How We Address It
Self-injury is rarely about wanting to die. It’s often a response to:
- Overwhelming emotions with no outlet
- Trauma, abuse, or unresolved grief
- Depression, anxiety, or dissociation
- A need to “feel something” when feeling numb
- Shame or guilt that turns inward
- PTSD or complex trauma
- Substance use to numb emotional pain
