This was really great AND we don't shape on stopping self-harm in DBT. We want to address the controlling variables with solutions to eliminate self-harm and suicide. Naturally, SH may continue in the course of treatment but this does not mean that we are shaping on it. Substance use is reinforced by substance use not by 'enablers.' Whether money is lent or not - the funds will be obtained to obtain the substance (especially for illicit substances).
