In this episode, we talk with Chad Moses and Sierra DeMulder about their experience with self-injury. They talk about what led them to self-injury, how they found healthy ways to cope with their internal distress, and what they wish they’d known when they were struggling. We also talked with licensed mental health counselor Michelle Moore about the harmful stigma surrounding self-injury and what we should say to support the people in our lives who may be struggling with it.

You can hear more from Sierra on her relationship advice podcast, affectionately titled Just Break Up.
