Self-harming or suicidal behavior

Self-harming behaviours and suicidal ideation involve actions or thoughts intended to cause harm or end one’s life. These behaviours often arise from overwhelming distress, hopelessness, or unresolved trauma.

Therapists at ShiftGrit apply the ShiftGrit Core Method™ to identify limiting beliefs that drive self-destructive patterns. Reconditioning these beliefs provides new ways of responding to pain and distress.
