Episode 67 : Understanding Self Harm : A Conversation With Clare Assante

Self-harm can be one of the most frightening and confusing experiences for a parent, family member, or anyone supporting someone they love. In this episode, I'm joined by teen coach Clare Assante, founder of Blindsided by Thoughts. Clare and I completed our Change Coach training together, and together we explore self-harm through a compassionate and understanding lens. Rather than focusing solely on the behaviour, we look at what's happening beneath the surface and why understanding can change the way we respond. Our hope is that this conversation helps you feel calmer, clearer, and more confident in supporting someone who is struggling.

Please note: If you or someone you know is at immediate risk, or you're concerned about their safety, this episode should sit alongside appropriate professional support, not replace it. Please contact your GP, your local mental health crisis team, or your emergency services, depending on the urgency of the situation
