The concept of the "self-harm iceberg" is a metaphor often used to illustrate the complexities and underlying issues associated with self-harm behaviors. Just as an iceberg has a visible tip above the water and a much larger portion hidden below, the visible signs of self-harm (such as cuts, scars, or other physical evidence) represent only a small fraction of the broader emotional and psychological struggles that individuals may be experiencing.
