Self Help for Self Harm
Hopefully some help for people who self harm or feel worth-less.
This book is available to download from 'Smashwords.com' for free. I don't see why anyone should have to pay for a book like this, or to seek to make a profit from it. Amazon promised they would 'price-match' with 'Smashwords' but have refused to do so.
Best wishes,

I like this book and I think it succeeds in what it is intended for. It is kind of a "best of" of tips which can be found elsewhere in books written by psychologists etc., but because it is the author's personal experience it is more believable and practical for me. The shortness of the book is encouraging for a start.
It's written in a "spoken" language, reading this is like being in a self-help group listening to a friend who shares his thoughts and experience and gives you hope. Steven Smith directly talks to the reader. In a pleasant way he encourages people who are affected by self-harming behaviour to take simple actions to distract themselves and to learn other techniques to cope with their problems. For example to go out into nature more, to watch birds or to occupy oneself by caring for plants. The are no "you have to's", just recommendations, each worth a try. At the end of the book there are some lists of books and music etc. which he found helpful.
