What's the doctor's recommendation to help my girlfriend stop cutting herself?

Your girlfriend's : Cutting is meeting a need within her or she would not be doing it. There are many possible reasons that a person may cut. Elf inflicted mutilation by cutting is one way that some people cope. It is not a healthy coping mechanism. People may cut themselves because they feel emotionally numb & it allows them to feel something. Some cut to distract from anxiety, depression or stress.

There is a second : question you may be asking: what can you yourself do to stop your girlfriend from cutting? As a source of support, are you able to persuade her that the habit is unhealthy & really not going to fix the underlying issue? Can you steer her to the right resources? If drugs/alcohol are involved, can you help keep her clean? Can you safely shield her from abusive relationships? Keep yourself safe too.
