[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 143938, member: 84"] I also have to agree punishment won't work and really isn't applicable in this situation. Nichole cut everywhere, but mostly arms and legs. She covered it by suddenly wearing long sleeves and avoiding shorts. She sometimes carved words. With Nichole we used henna ink and markers to help with the cutting. It worked more than you'd think. (we had nothing to lose) When she wanted to cut, she was instructed to draw on her body instead. Still the behavior didn't improve until she became more stable with medications and was helped via therapist with better coping methods such as actually verbalizing how she felt. The only thing we did was she knew she was subject to "inspection" at any time. I did it often as it gave me insight into how she was doing. Even now, although she hasn't cut in almost 2 yrs, if I see her wearing long sleeves out of season I ask to see her arms or legs. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
