Thank you, daisygirl, for sharing.
I was quite surprised to see that scratching was one form of SI. I once did that as a child. I was almost in a trance, and didn't even know I was doing it, until I "woke up" and found a big cut on my wrist from scratching it over and over. It was the only time I did it, but, I still, to this day, remember it.
I don't know if that fits the profile or not. It just makes me think. And yes, there was an awful lot of emotional turmoil in my childhood.
Come to think of it...there is still now, in my adulthood! LOL!
How did you find your healing, if I may ask?
Shalom!
