Self-Harming Therapists in Regina, SK
I have 23 years working in mental health and my focus is on clients with depression, anxiety, self harm, suicidal ideation, grief, and trauma. We work to increase their coping skills, increase self esteem, and minimize negative feelings and behaviors such as suicidal ideation or self harm. The goals of therapy are discussed at the first session and the client decides what will be most beneficial for them. As the therapist, my goal is to ensure it is manageable, discuss expectations, and how to move forward in the counselling process. Counselling is a tool to be used when needed. LGBTQIA2S+ welcome.

Bodies and minds are fascinating phenomena. They are a record of the past, exist in the present, and imagine the future. You envision the ideal version of yourself and have experimented with many ways to get there. Getting to know your particulars, like your habits, beliefs, conditioning, preferences, emotions, traumas, blockages, muscle tension patterns, spirals, and energy pathways can assist you in solidifying what it is that you do and do not want and aid in your evolution. MME Therapy focuses initially on creating safety in the body and then allows for time and space for you to practice embodying who it is you want to be.

I work with women who have experienced trauma. You may have had childhood physical, sexual or emotional abuse. Trauma can also result from unmet needs, for example not given the affection and nurturing you needed growing up. Or it can be a recent event. I support clients in healing from such experiences, and not just survive but to thrive. I provide a safe, compassionate environment to explore such pain, and healing. I work holistically, with mind, body, and spirit in healing work.

How does therapy for self-harm work?
A person may turn to self-injury so that they can distract themselves from their stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances. Therapy can address the cause of an individual’s suffering. A therapist can help a person understand why they may want to self-harm and help the person learn new methods of coping. A person may have poor emotion regulation, and treatment such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is helpful for breaking this behaviour. In addition, treatment such as dialectical behaviour therapy can help a person manage their tolerance of distress.
Which therapies are best for self-harm?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioural, dialectical behaviour, psychodynamic, and mentalisation-based therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour therapies are common approaches for people who have painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual cope with distress, regulate emotions, and manage impulsive urges.
Does the tendency to self-harm mean the person is suicidal?
Having this urge does not mean the individual suffers from suicidal ideation. People who want to self-injure look to distract or alleviate themselves from the pain they are experiencing. People with suicidal tendencies want to end life altogether. However, this does not mean a person with the intent to self-harm will not attempt suicide.
How often and how long are therapy sessions for self-harm?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Clients may see improvement within 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, maybe, a six-month period. People, especially those with co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, may need to continue therapy for up to 12 to 18 months.
