Hi there,

I think that I agree with maybe talking to him about it and asking him some of the reasons behind why he may be self harming. You can let him know that you are really glad that he is getting counseling for everything now but you are a bit concerned with some of his actions and attitudes, and you just want to understand better.

Self harm IS really addictive, so if it is an addiction, hopefully the counseling will help him out some. But, if he is doing it for attention, I do hope that he realizes there are better, positive ways to be getting attention, rather than having to resort to self harm.
