Self-Harm, Anger, and Learning to Express Emotion

At 31:00 · chapter starts 29:40

With disarming openness, Cara describes what happens when she gets angry in her current relationship: she has never been someone who screams at a partner or names-calls, but the pressure of unexpressed emotion has to go somewhere. For most of her life, that somewhere was herself — punching walls, scratching, cutting, trying to slam her head into surfaces. She frames it not as pathology but as learned necessity: if it doesn't go outward, it goes inward. In sobriety, she has learned to freeze rather than move, though the internal voice of self-hatred becomes correspondingly louder. She is unmedicated by choice, having found her own remedies, and is clear that medication is an option she would take if she became dangerous to others or herself.
