WHO AM I... REALLY?
Overwhelming emotions, shame,low self-esteem, sexual or emotional abuse, fear and suppressed anger are just a few of the reasons for self-injurious behavior. Those who self-injure often feel they are living behind a mask, that no one knows who they really are. Numbness or a sense of being detached from their surroundings is often experienced.
