Listen "The Cutting Board"
Episode Synopsis
The Supervised Mind
Episode Title: The Cutting Board
Subtitle: Understanding Self-Injury in Psychiatric Practice
Host: Dr. Faisal Rafiq
Audience: Clinicians – Psychiatrists, NPs, PAs, Therapists
Welcome back to The Supervised Mind
Today’s episode is called The Cutting Board. We’re going to talk about self-injury—specifically non-suicidal self-injury, or NSSI. This is a topic that makes many clinicians pause. It’s uncomfortable. It’s urgent. And it’s all too common.
We’ll explore the biological drivers, the emotional mechanics, and the treatment pathways—including when to medicate, when to refer, and when to simply listen. Because behind every scar is a story—and our job is to understand, not just to stop the bleeding.
