Self-Harm with Amanda and Marc Ferraro (TW)

TRIGGER WARNING: Today's topic covers self-harm.

In this episode, we are diving into a topic that many parents face, yet few openly talk about: self-harm.

We'll be hearing from a family who experienced this challenge firsthand. They'll share how they addressed this dangerous and frightening situation and where they stand today.

Let's welcome Amanda and Marc Ferraro. This brave couple reached out to Calm the Chaos after discovering their daughter's self-harm behaviors. Understandably, they were terrified.

Imagine watching your child hurt, praying things don't escalate while scrambling to figure out how to support them best… Beyond tough. For a while, their daughter masked her pain, wearing long sleeves even on warm days – an unmistakable sign she was in a dark place.

With guidance from Calm the Chaos, Amanda and Marc learned the importance of patience and allowing their daughter to open up at her own pace.

This trust-building eventually paved the way for her to see a doctor, begin therapy, use therapeutic cream for her injuries, and eventually return to school - a huge step forward.

So, if you're looking for more information on this topic, either for yourself or for your children, I encourage you to tune in today. We'll discuss the steps to take after discovering a child's self-harm and where to find support.

I promise this episode will offer hope.
