Hi Ben, welcome here! I am really glad you have joined us and I hope you will feel safe and comfortable here.
Relapses are part of your recovery journey. Healing takes time.
As you say, sometimes we feel as we cannot control self-harm, it simply happens. I relate to this a lot. At the same time, I have learnt through therapy that casting a light towards what causes it, which feeling and emotions lead to it, which physical sensations I experience in my body right before it happens, does help me to have some sort of control and choice over it. Maybe it could help you too?
