This powerful clip from our full episode on self-harm dives into a truth many people don’t talk about — sometimes physical pain feels easier to handle than mental anguish.

In this moment, Amanda shares how cutting became a way to see and control pain that didn’t make sense internally. When emotions feel overwhelming, confusing, or invisible, the mind looks for something it can understand — even if it hurts.

This is a real conversation about mental health, addiction, and healing. If you’ve ever struggled with inner pain, you’re not alone — and there is a way forward.
