Lesson Overview

2.31 – How to Talk About Self-Harm Without Feeling Judged: Talking about self-harm feels risky because fear of judgment looms large. Start with someone trained or kind—a counselor, teacher, or trusted adult. Use clear language like “I’ve been hurting myself” to avoid confusion. Honesty opens doors faster than hints. Expect mixed emotions; relief and fear often arrive together. Remember, sharing your truth does not make you broken—it makes you brave. People who care will focus on safety, not shame. Prepare for questions; they help others understand how to support you. You control how much detail you share. Bring a note or text if speaking feels hard. Each conversation chips away at stigma’s power. The more openly you speak, the lighter secrecy becomes. Discussing pain out loud transforms it into something manageable. Courage grows each time you tell your story. Vulnerability is strength disguised as words.
