Episode 31: Self-Destructive Behavio[u]r (TW)

Trigger Warning: this episode includes some examples and descriptions of self-destructive behavior. If this feels unsafe for you, feel free to skip the episode or make sure you have healthy coping mechanisms or supportive people nearby.

Self destructive behaviour. What is it? Why do people do it? What can you do to reduce it? Following some Zoom filter fun and a discussion of the pronunciation of "foyer," we dive into the world of self-harm, why some people use it to cope with distressing emotions, and what we can do about it. There is hope for change.
