Let's Talk About... Self-Harm (Episode 167)
Let's Talk About Mental Health
WARNING: This episode contains discussions of sensitive topics including physical self-harm, suicidal ideation, suicide prevention and attempted suicide. Listener discretion is advised.
One of the toughest conversations about mental health involves the ways in which our self-harming behaviour can have an enormous negative impact on our state of mind.
Self-harm isn’t just limited to physical forms; it’s anything you do to yourself to either intentionally harm yourself or which you know is harmful but you do it anyway, for example, excessive drinking, risk-taking, or substance abuse.
This podcast talks about the different types of self-harm and also advises on how to help yourself if you are self-harming.
