I use to bash my head on the basement walls or ceramic sinks at work or the granite counter(the granite hurt and caused the most damage).
I did not need much as this was painful and did the job quicker than burning or cutting. It calmed me down fast because well when you bang your brain you get a little lethargic.
I have not had to do that in over a year but the urge comes on bad when overwhelmed with frustrating emotions or self hatred comes on.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
