She shouldn't "say" anything judgmental about it. It's a tool that people use to deal with negative emotions. It's not a healthy tool or the best one out there but there is no shame in taking care of yourself. Sometimes I think the shame from SI is more damaging than the scars. All you can do now is try again to find something else that brings you relief.
