Self Help for Self Harm
I have written this book to give practical help, advice, and techniques to other people who may be going through a hard time in their lives and are using self harm as a coping mechanism. There are alternatives you can use to bring calm to your lives which I'd like to show you. Self harm is an obstacle to moving forward in your life. It gives temporary relief but solves nothing, and my wish is that by reading this book you will learn new ways of coping with depression/anxiety and you will be free of all self harm.
This book is available to download on 'Smashwords.com' for free. I have asked 'Amazon' to publish them for free and they have refused. I can promote it for 5 days out of 90 so keep an eye out for it being free.
P.S. I have just earned enough from the sale of my book to send £40 to NSPCC (who run 'Childline') - many thanks to everyone who have bought my book and contributed to this worthwhile service. Best wishes, Steve

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.
