Is there a best way to get over the addiction to cutting?

A good therapist: It is really important to work with a good therapist to deal with cutting behavior. Whether it is an addiction or not, it is serious and probably medication will be prescribed, but a behavioral strategy is also important. Hospitalization may be necessary to get this symptom under control and prevent a tragic event.

Cutting: For some it can have an addictive quality to it, in that to cut for some, feels better than feeling what can often be pain that defies description inside; an emotional maelstrom, if you will. And those who cut will do anything to avoid that internal pain when it gets bad enough. A psychiatric evaluation and meds, combined with a referral to a reputable psychotherapist should go a long way to help.
