I would also like to thank all the participants that gave up their time to contribute to the study. It was a privilege for me, that you shared your experience with me.

These findings have implications for defining what avoidance is, how we capture what is being avoided, as well as theoretical implications. #selfinjury #NSSI #avoidance #livedexperience

Additionally, participants reported how significant others, in their lives, often did not recognise internal pain as real but did recognise if someone was in physical pain. #selfinjury #NSSI #avoidance #livedexperience

It was also found that individuals recognised that engaging in self-injury was not a solution but rather a short-term distraction to help reduce the intensity of their experience. #selfinjury #NSSI #avoidance #livedexperience

We also found that rather than self-injury being in response to a stimulus, it can serve a pre-emptive function to help individuals prepare for their day.

We found that avoidance is not a term that resonates with individuals who engage in self-injury. Individuals see self-injury as a way of dealing with what they are experiencing.

The final paper from my PhD has been published. This paper explores the role of avoidance in non-suicidal self -injury. https://t.co/MwcxytE6xh
