What if the thing your child is going through feels too big to even put into words? The kind of thing that makes your heart ache in a way you didn’t know it could. In this episode, I talk to the incredible Sally Panks, who opens up about her experience of discovering her daughter was self-harming at a very young age. Sally shares what those first moments were like, how she found her footing when everything felt shaky and how this led her to help others. If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “How do I even begin to deal with this?”—this one’s for you. We talk about the guilt, the confusion, the endless questions and what it means to show up for your child when you feel like you’re breaking too.Now, grab a cuppa, relax and press play. About SallySally is a mother of two and founder of S&L Self-Harm Distraction Kits, which is a dedicated not-for-profit organisation focused on providing essential support for children, young people, and adults who struggle with self-harm. Their mission centres around offering distraction kits that employ the "Delay and Replace" strategy, effectively encouraging safer coping mechanisms and emotional regulation. Each kit is thoughtfully curated to include various tools and resources that promote relaxation, mindfulness, and healthy distraction techniques.Recognising that individuals, as young as eight years old, may resort to self-harm as a means of coping with difficult emotions, they aim to deliver these kits to schools and community settings. By empowering individuals with practical resources, they strive to interrupt the cycle of self-harm and foster a culture of support and healing. Through donations and community partnerships, they work tirelessly to provide these kits at no cost, ensuring accessibility for those in need.To find out more go toFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553661582765Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sl.safecutkits?igsh=MWJyNm1mMm96Zmtk&utm_source=qrLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sally-panks-a667382b5?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_appTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sl.safe_cut_kits?_t=ZN-8wx0sRqMBc6&_r=1Website: www.safecutkits.co.ukIf you enjoyed this podcast then please like, share and subscribe. Link to get your free Personal Life Assessment download ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/LAPDFLA22⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you want to find out more about how I can help you then check out my ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and connect with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
