“She’s Hurting Herself… What Do I Do?” Breaking the Silence, Together
from Teen Whisperer | Parenting Teen Girls · host Rach
Send us Fan Mail This week, things are a little different and more personal. I’m joined by Sally, a fellow mum who shares her story of discovering her daughter was self-harming. It’s raw, honest, and not about fixing - but about feeling seen. We talk about the guilt, the silence, and the strength it takes to show up even when you have no idea what to do. Two mums, holding space for a new kind of conversation, one that breaks shame and starts to build a different story. You might notice my message shifting. That’s because the girls I work with aren’t “too much” - they’re overwhelmed, sensitive, and carrying more than they can say. So I’m speaking more directly to that, and to you - the mum doing the quiet work of holding it all. If you’ve ever felt alone with something heavy… this is for you. She’s not broken. You’re not failing. And we’re rewriting the narrative - together. If anything in this week’s episode resonated for you, please know you’re not alone. If you’re listening to this thinking, “that’s me,” I’ve got something for you. It’s called Connect the Dots. It’s a really simple guide to help you slow down, look at what you’re actually seeing, and then zoom out and consider what else might be going on for your daughter. You can grab it for free here.
