The Marker Method involves choosing a marker with a color that closely resembles the result of the self-harm you might engage in (for example: red for cuts, pink for scratches, yellow or purple for bruises, black for burns, etc.).

Instead of harming yourself, you use the marker to draw cuts, bruises, burns, bite marks, or scratches on your skin. This can help trick your mind, providing a visual cue that mimics self-harm without actually causing harm. This method can help ease the urge and give you an outlet for your emotions. 🖊 ❤️
