  • Show Notes for The Aspiring Psychologist Podcast Episode 134: What is indirect self-harm?

    Thank you for listening to the Aspiring Psychologist Podcast.

    Dr. Marianne Trent discusses the concept of indirect self-harm with guest expert Eva Perry. Indirect self-harm refers to behaviours that may cause unintended harm to oneself, such as social isolation or sleep deprivation. These behaviours are not deliberate or highly visible like direct self-harm, but they can still have negative effects on physical and mental well-being. The importance of awareness and support networks in recognising and preventing indirect self-harm is emphasised. The episode also touches on the relationship between trauma and indirect self-harm, as well as the need for mindfulness and alternative coping strategies.
