Self harm books
I'm looking for a good book on self harm that is geared for recovery and not too full of indepth phsyc stuff. Practical stuff like. So I can be more aware of the lead up and manage to distract myself etc. But without the hard head stuff.
Any ideas or reccomendations?

I want to kiss the bottom of the ocean before I burst through its surface into the sunlight, otherwise I will always be wondering about what was left unseen at the bottom
i'm tired of chasing my dreams.
i'm just gonna ask where they're going,
and hook up with them later.

bright red scream by marilee strong is supposed to be quite good, ive read extracts of it online :
Written by a US journalist, this book is based on a series of interviews with people aged 15-53 who describe in detail how and why they self-harm. The theory behind people’s behaviour is clearly explained without using a lot of technical jargon.

there is a book that i have read some of but not all of it, it is about someone who cuts and her like story and all.
its called a skin game i think.
yeah it is skin game by Caroline Kettlewell.
not sure if it will be what you want but she does talk about her recovery (i think) or i would imagine so.
i haven't read the whole thing, but what i read was pretty good.
i just don't read very much. ha

A Bright Red Scream my Marilee Strong is pretty good (I'm still reading it), and I heard good things about the book Cutting, which is geared more towards recovery.
