[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 540123, member: 84"] The red wax and henna tats are a good idea. We gave Nichole markers when she was younger.......it still let her express what she was feeling, just not in a permanent painful way. It didn't stop it, but it did help some to redirect it and show her other ways of expressing her feelings. Often a true cutter doesn't have a way to express themselves. Either they don't feel safe to do so, or they can't find the words to do so......so they cut. Nichole still has those intense emotional times when the temptation rears it's ugly head once again, but 99.9 percent of the time she's either able to express it to someone or get it out some other way. She's even gotten tats once or twice that I know of in order to resist the urge to cut. [/QUOTE]
