Synopsis
This book is about people who deliberately cut their skin, burn themselves, & break their own bones. They do it systematically for many years, & without help they can rarely stop. Many have lived through severe forms of emotional or physical childhood abuse. Estimates are that more than two million Americans are chronic self-injurers. In this book, women & men, young & old, explain the reasons they hurt themselves, the relief it sometimes brings them, & why they feel they cannot stop. The author explains how cutting can become a coping mechanism for dealing with emotional pain & gaining control over an out-of-control mind & body. Includes information on what people can do to start healing.
