I’ll have the same question for the cutters. What exactly is cutting doing for you that you feel better doing it?
You can’t address the problem, without assuming that people do things because they get something out of it.
If people have a problem generally it’s because they are using something as a substitute for something else - something that they are generally unhappy about. You can’t address the problem unless you deal with this first.
You can make all the assumptions you want, etc, but it bears down to this.
I believe that it bears down to life choices that lead to addiction. Psycologicaly addicting is addicting just the same and can be as hard to break as physical addictions.
