It's Complicated

Find a therapist that can help with Harm reduction

Harm reduction is a public health approach that aims to reduce the negative consequences of certain behaviors, such as drug use, without necessarily requiring individuals to completely abstain from those behaviors. The idea behind harm reduction is that even if an individual is engaging in behaviors that are risky or harmful, they can still take steps to minimise the negative consequences associated with those behaviors.
