It takes a long time to quit self-injury. With all of the chemical interactions involved in the brain, just like anyone who would get addicted to anything else, you have to go through rehab. A different sort of rehab, but rehab nonetheless. So many YA books that address the topic of self-harm (be it cutting or eating disorders) skip over this part and tend not to differentiate between the different therapies needed in order to get well. If anything, it makes them smaller, makes their heroines (and less often, heroes) victims, and that's something I just can't stand. Cutters cut because we need to control the pain and not be the victims but the victors of whatever situation that's driven us to do so in the first place. It always makes me see red when I see YA authors that obviously have no experience (or who haven't researched the topic enough) with self-harm write a book with a tragic heroine with a self-harm problem. Self-harm is tragic, but we don't have to be victims about it. Thank you, Ms. Kessler, for reminding us about this.
