On ‘What’s Trendind,’ hosts Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and guest Dr. Dan Bober discuss how self-harm is a complex issue often misunderstood as attention-seeking.
Understanding the Root Cause
Self-harm is often a coping mechanism for overwhelming emotions, not attention-seeking behavior.
Supporting Loved Ones
Open communication and non-judgmental support are crucial when helping someone who self-harms.
Seek Help
Mental health professionals can provide effective therapeutic techniques, like DBT, to manage emotions and reduce self-harm.
