Who Self Injuries?
Is There A Certain Type Of Person?
Despite the media’s frequent portrayal of self-injury being something that predominantly affects teenage girls, at FirstSigns we know this is wholly inaccurate. FirstSigns itself was founded by Wedge – and he’s never going to be a teenage girl!
Low self-esteem
Low self-esteem and the feeling of not being good enough can be exceedingly destructive and pave the way for future self-harm in various forms.
Perfectionism & High Achievement
Perfectionists may be very successful in their every-day lives, but it often comes at a personal cost.
Trauma And Abuse
Some people self-injure to cope with traumatic life events, either currently or in the past. These may include bereavement, bullying, break-up of relationship, or sexual abuse.
