Re: Dreaming About Self Harm - July 30th 2015, 11:30 AM

Hey, you are not the only one. When I was struggling with self harm and when it was a part of my daily life, I used to get these dreams often. The main thing I'd focus on was not doing it when I woke up, because for me when I woke up from a self harm dream the urges would be unbearable. I never really found a way to stop it totally, but relaxing music and scents did help reduce their frequency. Lavender and sandalwood helped the best for me, because I love both scents. If you have a particular favorite scent, you could try lotions or candles, maybe that will help you get some peaceful sleep. If you are okay with music playing while you are asleep, you could have some calming music play in the background. Doing yoga/meditation before you go to bed, is also very helpful.

I hope this helps. Stay strong.
