Sophie was a nice Christian teenager, the much-loved daughter of decent hard-working parents. One night she came back from babysitting and, almost without conscious motive, hit her leg with a coathanger. Then she tried whipping herself with a belt. The following day she scratched her arm repeatedly with the point of a compass. The sensation produced a warm sense of wellbeing, a release of tension. Thus began an eight-year struggle to conceal what was happening from her parents and friends; to reconcile this addiction with her faith; to find a stronger sense of self-worth; to find healing. Slowly, with lapses, she learned to identify the triggers and to realize that Jesus does not reject the self-harmer. Today Sophie works with teenagers and has considerable insight into how this very common problem can be tackled.

    Not for a harmer to read when still harming but really good to help others understand what it means to self harm This was a really great book. really explains self harm. Careful though she does talk about ways people self harm that people who are still in the throws of self harm will find triggering I know I did and it gave me ideas for new ways to help.

    This book really helped me to understand what self harm was. A valued read for any youth worker or friend or relative of a self harmer. Could be 'triggering'
