My t brought up coping techniques and self-soothing strategies last session. I have quite an array of self-destructive coping techniques and limited self-soothing abilities. I am currently in the process of learning more helpful and nurturing ones. So far, I've found talking kindly to the sad, hurt, scared, angry and childlike part of me has shown the most promise.
Have you and your t discussed much around this topic? What techniques and strategies do you use to self-soothe?
