ABSTRACT
Nonsuicidal self-injury is a common mental health concern, and humanistic counseling approaches can support clients in the change process. The benefits of experiential approaches grounded within humanistic theories of change include an emphasis on the present moment, client empowerment, and skill development that can be practiced in real time and applied outside of session. Experiential activities for those who self-injure are provided along with a description of their application. Practice considerations, limitations, and areas for future research are presented.
