[quote=Anonymous]BTDT, too. I'll echo the other posters who have advised you to remain as calm as possible. Bear in mind that your DC is trying to cope with big feelings of distress, albeit in an unhealthy way. You can attempt to remove sharp implements, but only in a loving, caring way. More than that, I would try coming up with a safety agreement with your teen, with steps to follow when feelings get big and overwhelming. There's a wealth of good info at the website for the Cornell Center for Research on Self-Injury. Go to http://www.selfinjury.bctr.cornell.edu/. You can take an online training, of just find out more about best practices for addressing self-injurious behavior.[/quote]
