abstract="PURPOSE What is happening in the perceived world of young people who have non-suicidal self-injury? The answer to this question explains many quantitative research findings in the field of NSSI. The current qualitative research design is Husserl's descriptive phenomenology. <br><br>DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH The participants included 17-29-year-old youths with self-injury and were selected with a targeted sampling approach and a conspicuous sampling method based on the theoretical saturation criterion of 21 people. Data were collected in a semi-structured interview and analyzed in the MAXQDA2022 software using the Attride-Stirling (2001) method. Validation of data was done by the method of simultaneous review of colleagues and simultaneous review of participants. <br><br>FINDINGS The themes emerging from the analysis of the findings are the three organizing themes of &quot;vulnerable temperament&quot; which includes height and head, high pain sensitivity threshold and desire for nothingness, &quot;traumatic family&quot; which includes disorganization, crisis and devaluation in the family and &quot;developmental injuries&quot; that are associated with physical, sexual and emotional abuse and neglect. The content of these themes seriously harms a person's self-perception through the emotions of fear, shame, anger and despair and is integrated into the overarching theme of &quot;damaged self&quot;. <br><br>ORIGINALITY/VALUE &quot;Damaged Self&quot; provides causal explanations related to the formation of self-injurious behaviors and these behaviors are in harmony with the damage that a person observes in his perception of himself.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
