What's a good cure for cutting?

CBT: About 1% of people self-mutilate and this is dangerous as it gets worse. If someone wants to stop, cognitive-behavioral therapy is (i'm told) today's standard; it takes courage and integrity but it can be a great help. Get out of an abusive situation by any means, and learn to take charge of your thoughts -- it can be done.

Personal therapy: Individual psychotherapy combined with dialectical behavioral therapy sessions can be lifesaving. You need to first learn what purpose the cutting serves for you, and work on resolving those issues. For instance, some (not all) people who cut have histories of childhood abuse and/or neglect. Working through things takes time. Psychiatric assessment is useful; meds help some people as well.

Cutting: Meds and therapy together are your best bet. Get a psychiatric evaluation for what ails you, and what cutting means to you as well as anything else that may be going on. Then get a referral to a reputable psychotherapist to help with the emotional issues behind cutting. Do it today.
