Just about everyone has engaged in a self-destructive behavior at some point in their lives. Self-destructive behaviors can include: intentional physical harm to yourself (cutting, banging your head against something, burning yourself, punching the wall), engaging in risky behaviors (gambling, unprotected sex, and substance abuse), having dysfunctional relationships, and neglecting one’s health. Whether intentional or not, self-destructive behaviors can lead to personal and social consequences. Discontinuing these self-destructive behaviors is possible by identifying your pattern of self-destructive behaviors, changing your thoughts related to your self-destructive behaviors, and coping with triggers to self-destructive actions.
