Are you worried that your teen is engaging in self-harming activities? Does it feel like your teen is hurting themselves and there’s nothing you can do? The truth is that, while you may feel powerless, there is help. Indeed, here at Insight, we provide a wide range of teen treatment for self-harming behaviors. Our professionals can help your teen to not just cease these behaviors, but to discover what the underlying causes of these behaviors are. That way, they can work with your teen to quash them for good.
Signs You Can Notice
Over the years, parents have often asked us some version of: “how can I tell if my teen is hurting themselves?” While it’s not always possible to tell with 100% certainty, there are some signs. For example, if you find sharp objects, such as knives, blades, and others that have been hidden by your teen. Of course, you may notice cut marks or even burns on your teen that show up often or the teen doesn’t have a valid or believable reason for it.
Who Else May Notice
You are your teen’s parent, yet there are others who may be in a better position to notice whether or not your teen has been engaging in self-harming behaviors. Case in point, one of your teen’s siblings may tell you that they’ve found sharp objects with blood on them or even caught your teen hurting themselves. If you notice that some of your teen’s friends often seem cut or have burn marks, it could be something that’s accepted by their peer group. If you believe that your teen has been harming themselves, it’s worth it to reach out to the experts.
