Excerpted from the website:
- Self-Inflicted Violence
- Self-inflicted violence (SIV) is a common means of managing the after-effects of traumatic experiences. Intentional wounding of one's own body serves to temporarily manage many of the emotional struggles that stem from historical, unhealed trauma. Most people living with self-injury have experienced abuse. They have found SIV helpful in dealing with overwhelming feelings, psychic stress, flashbacks and triggers, and other repercussions common to trauma survivors. Once understood in context, SIV can be healed by acknowledging the needs it serves and addressing the trauma from which it springs.
