Lesson Overview

1.16 – Cutting, Burning, and Other Silent Warnings: Self-harm is often misunderstood, but it’s not about seeking attention—it’s a cry for relief from unbearable emotional pain. People may cut, burn, or harm themselves because physical pain feels easier to control than emotional suffering. It can create a false sense of release or calm, even though it doesn’t solve the real problem. Many hide their scars out of shame, fear, or confusion. These acts are silent warnings that someone is struggling deeply and needs understanding, not judgment. When people feel safe enough to talk about their pain, they can learn healthier ways to cope. Listening without shock or blame helps them take that first step toward healing. Compassion opens the door to recovery. Every scar tells a story that deserves care, not silence. Healing begins when pain is met with empathy and support.
