Compassionate curiosity guides this question to you
Thank you for this comment! Your compassion came through clearly in the question. :)
Would you be willing to expand on the varieties of self-harm, and the motivations behind the action?
Yes. Absolutely. I am currently outlining a handful of posts on the subject. Because it is such a big topic and I want more than just a single surface level post, I am breaking up discrete aspects into separate posts. The kinds of self harm and the motivation behind them will definitely be covered.
I love how you highlight that there are some activities that are actually healthy for us but do involve some intentional pain to ourselves. NSSI is almost always secretive and not socially accepted things like piercings/tattoos or contact sports.
Excellent.
Glad you're on Steemit Sam;
I love the collective brain trust that has been coming together on this platform 😊
Eagerly looking forward to reading more of your work 👍
I agree! It is really awesome to see such a diverse set of topics, experiences, and expertise being developed on here. Thank you for the kind words :D
