Self-Harm Recovery Pen
Self-harming is a behavior that can affect people of many ages and acts as a coping mechanism, helping those affected deal with deep distress, emotional pain, anxiety, burn-out and exhaustion.
Self-cutting is one of the more common forms of self-harm. This act may offer a release of overwhelming feelings, or communicate an inner state to the individual. To help express feelings, an inner state that the individual can’t put into words, or as a distraction from difficult life situations.
The significance of the 'sight of blood' can be crucial for individuals who engage in self-injury through cutting, alongside with the physical feeling. When people are under an extreme amount of stress, a common way of relieving those feelings is through sensorial stimulation.
For some, this is a cold compress, for others, it is the feeling of self-injury. It gives a purpose to the urge and a function as it can assist the release of intense emotions and despair.
Self-cutting is a growing clinical concern, so any safe alternative is a truly positive way forward. Learn more about Self-Harm, Harm Reduction, Self-Cutting, and my Self-Harm Recovery Pen HERE.
The Recovery Pens were made to safely cover every aspect of self-cutting in order to wean people off of self-cutting altogether. The tool uses principles such as: Harm Reduction, Aromatherapy, Classical Conditioning, and Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), offering a multifaceted approach to behavior modification.
Through the use of different colored inks and essential oils, coupled with the experience of the tool itself, these pens provide both visual and kinesthetic substitutes for self-cutting behaviors, complemented by the additional component of aromatherapy.
Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils for therapeutic benefit. When inhaled, the scent molecules directly affect the emotional center of the brain. This can help ground yourself, and is commonly used to treat anxiety and panic attacks.
The underlying mechanism involves rewiring neural pathways within the brain. The Recovery Pen's purpose is to introduce a new positive association with the urge to self-harm. Over time, your brain will start linking the feeling of wanting to self-harm with the Recovery Pen. This is a crucial aid in keeping the user safe.
Over time, individuals progress through different levels of Recovery Pens, ultimately reaching a point where self-cutting tendencies are hardly present. Eventually it will no longer be considered true self harming; marking a significant milestone in their recovery journey.
As individuals transition to higher leveled pens, their brains adapt, forming new, healthier connections. The ultimate goal is to dissociate the impulse to self-harm from the act itself, achieving long-term recovery and well-being.

• Even the addiction is now linked with the use of Recovery pen, rather than the true act of self-cutting, some individuals may not want this.
