Drawing on her own experience as a recovering cutter as well as current research, Whittenhall describes
You'll also find information about therapy options and treatment programs nationwide and suggestions for further reading on the topic of self-injury. Whittenhall writes, “Getting over self-injury is not easy. . . . But I've been injury-free for a while now. Self-injury still has its temptations, and sometimes they're pretty strong, but I know that life as a whole is better without self-injury. I'm more stable. I'm less depressed. I stay farther away from despair. I get more work done. I have more energy to enjoy my hobbies, like writing, scrapbooking and quilting. I have better and closer relationships with people around me, particularly my husband. I have found and am still finding other ways to soothe myself and cope with difficult feelings. And I am accepting that the only one who needs to sacrifice his body for my and others' sin is Christ. It is by his wounds, not mine, that I am healed (1 Pet 2:24; Is 53:5).” Save 20% when you buy now for just $2.40! » |
