Therapy for Self-Destructive Behaviors
I love working through self-destructive behaviors. Whether you know the cause or triggers for your self-destructive behaviors or you’re just beginning your journey- I would love to help you find new ways to cope. Self-destructive behaviors are often our attempt to cope with something before we have healthy coping skills in place. I will utilize skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help you gather tangible coping skills. A common self-destructive behavior is self-harm, but can also be risky sexual behaviors, compulsive shopping, substance use, etc. If you’re in a current crisis and need resources, call 988 to talk to the suicide helpline.
If any of the following sound like you, I would love to work with you to help you build a relationship that is worth having-
you keep doing things your friends and family tell you not you
you feel overwhelmed by emotions
you act impulsively
you keep make decisions that are not in your best interest
you want to understand “why you are the way you are”
you feel shame about your behaviors and cannot stop
If you relate to any of these-schedule a no commitment 15 minute phone call to inquire about therapy services.
