"[Cutting] was something I could control." -A journal entry from Amy. a It's called cutting behavior, but many students know it by a harsher name, Hope College sophomore self-mutilation. Cutting behavior has been mistakenly linked to suicide, but the two are not the same. "Cutting behavior is sometimes termed para-suicide, with the intent not be- m ing death, but the intent being pain," said Director of the Counseling Center Kristen Gray. "And with the physical pain giving relief to emotional distress." H•r*'tJ* The behavior has gained recent national attention after several major news magazines, in- cluding Newsweek, featured cover stories on the topic. "It's become more visible in the last ten years," Gray said. "But I don't think it's new." mmSm The behavior may manifest itself in many ways, not just in razor cuts. A person suffering from cutting behavior may choose to burn themselves with cigarettes, make deep scratches, hit their forearms against a sharp table edge, or repeatedly smash a hand against the wall. "People do different behaviors based on what the person discovers works best for them," Gray said. "It's highly individualized." And it can become addicting. "One of the ways that people look at cutting behavior is that it gives a sense of relief because cutting releases adrenaline," Gray said. "It becomes a pure addiction and a very self-reinforcing habit. Instead of identifying the emotions and how [a person] can help to change that, [the person] just does more cutting." Although the behavior isn't intentionally suicidal, occasionally a person will cut themselves too deeply. Then the behavior becomes a medical threat. Also, self-inflicted injuries can lead to pennanent scar- ing- "Scaring is a risk people don't lake to seriously at this point in their lives," Gray said. But what leads a person to cut?

Hope College sophomore People are over- whelmed and don't know where to turn." Gray is quick to ANCHOR GRAPHIC BY CHAD SAMPSON mention lhal although the behavior is not technically suicidal, the Counseling Center does not take it lightly. "Some one who engages in this behavior is in very serious pain," Gray said. "It's a very serious issue." Besides physical harm, cutting behavior causes untold social damage. By choosing to cut, a person blocks him or herself away from friends and family in order to avoid questions about scars. "I think a risk is social alienation," Gray said. "If you have multiple cigarette burns, if your arms are all cut up, people are going to say, 'That's not right.'" Although a person who cuts may feel there arc no other alternatives to deal with pain. Gray insists this is not the case. "There arc options, lots of options for somebody dealing with this," Gray said. "But you have to talk about it. The next time you have an urge to cut, find something else to do." Gray also stresses the importance of reconnecting with friends and family when trying to beat the urge to cut. "Call people, say you want to go to a movie," Gray said. "Reconnect and don't let yourself be alone. Take a passion and connect it with a group or activity on campus." Also, a student suffering from cutting behavior should spend time with a counselor or therapist. "Find someone you trust and have that person come to a counseling session with you," Gray said. "Seek some kind of counseling. Some kind of help that will help." Students who wish to use Hope counseling services simply need to make a phone call. "We don't ask for the issue over the phone." Gray said. "It's free and it's confidential. Anything we discuss will not be a part of your school record."
