Without being too argumentative.... HOW is it dangerous? No cuts, no bleeding. It is not an OD or a noose. It is simply knocking some sense back into myself or reducing stress/anxiety.
So I sincerely ask you... HOW is it dangerous?

Some people take it too far.
I think I get what you do. Just gentle knocking right? Maybe your knuckles are even loose when you do it? As a sort of distraction from the possibility of self harm? I could see how that could help. And if the person who self harms isn't a hitter, I'd definitely recommend it.
However, I get their point, too. As well as cutting, I hit as a form of self harm. Generally, my legs. Though, I've slapped my head repeatedly before.
So, I would say it all depends on the person. This may help others, may not help some.
