Probably finished now but you can get the podcast - in case you, or someone you know, does this.
One good 'tip' was a girl saying that found clutching an ice cube for a long period of time could produce the required feeling of release without actually needing to harm...
Will try catch up with that. I work in a school and its a growing problem.
It's all about elastic bands on the wrist and pinging them as hard as you can, hurts like a mofo but doesn't give the same release as a deep cut.
Icecubes or snapping an elastic band on the wrist are two 'low harm' alternatives worth trialing
I've heard of the elastic band trick but the ice cube is a new one.
probably good to let the sufferers hear it as well, as they had lots of suffers phoning in.
Interesting topic with a lot of misconceptions around it. Did they talk much about life after self harm? Can be a tricky thing to come to terms with when the damage is often life long.
Wev'e got a lad in our place who's a serious self harmer, the one I remember best (cos I took him to hospital) was when he stuck a tube out of a 'biro' into his bicep all the way in. They had to cut him open to get it back out.
If anyone can find a link to it it would be greatly appreciated

My oldest has had real problems with this, and we've had the elastic band advice, but never heard of the ice cube one, definitley be giving that a try, thanks.
