Teen Chat is a weekly therapy group for rising 9th graders and high school teens to explore everyday stressors while learning practical coping skills & connecting with others in a brave, but safer space. When you’re an anxious teen, everyday situations are full of stress & persistent worry. From school to extracurriculars, the pressure to excel & take care of yourself…All while trying to make friends who like you for who you are & what you have to offer. It’s overwhelming. And the thing about these types of struggles are that they lead to really big feelings of panic, hopelessness, low self-esteem, self-harm, & more.

Most people don’t get it - the heaviness you walk around with, the clutter in your brain…the weight of the world on your chest. When it all mushes together, feelings of exhaustion, uncertainty, overwhelm, and unhappiness start being your every-day norm. When it begins to build up, you start overthinking each little interaction and even might find yourself oversharing with your local Trader Joe’s clerk. Is it just me? Am I doing something wrong? Why does everyone else seem to have it figured out? Is it normal to feel this way? Maybe, just maybe, I’m the problem.

Self-Harming Support Groups
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 behavioral therapy (CBT) is helpful for breaking this behaviour. In addition, treatment such as dialectical behavior therapy can help a person manage their tolerance of distress.
Which therapies are best for self-harm?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, and mentalisation-based therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior 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.
