What is the best kind of therapy for people who self injure? I'm just curious; I hear that cognitive-behavioral is often used, especially if the causes of self-injury is depression, right? Or are there better methods available? Is anyone in CBT and what is it generally characterized by, as far as questions usually asked in the session? I'm not sure why I'm so curious about it--the psych major in me is interested, and I guess I'm trying to figure out what kind of strategy my counselor appears to be using, and if it's the best kind of therapy for me...I'm thinking he's taking a CBT approach, but I would like to hear what anyone else has to offer on the subject.

Any input is much appreciated.
