A counselor using a solution-focused approach for a patient who self-injures may make statements focused on exploring the patient's strengths, coping mechanisms, and resources to actively address the self-injurious behavior. Statements may include highlighting times when the patient did not self-injure, exploring what prevented self-injury during those times, and identifying small steps the patient can take towards healthier coping strategies. The counselor may also emphasize the patient's resilience and ability to make positive changes.
