<![CDATA[This study aims to make a significant contribution to the understanding of self injury behavior among santri, as well as the effectiveness of CBT-based counseling services in helping them. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method to explore the experiences of santri who experience self injury and undergo CBT-based individual counseling. The subjects consisted of three santri, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data triangulation was conducted with counselors and boarding school caregivers. Analysis used Braun and Clarke's thematic technique. Validity was maintained through triangulation and member checking. This study highlights behavioral, cognitive, and emotional changes during the counseling process in the context of pesantren. The results of this study show that self injury behavior in santri emerges in response to emotional distress and the social environment of the pesantren that is less supportive of emotional expression. Cognitive distortions such as feeling worthless and negative assumptions exacerbate their psychological condition. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-based counseling is effective in changing negative thought patterns into more rational ones. However, the success of the intervention relies heavily on an empathic and safe therapeutic relationship. Therefore, counseling in pesantren needs to combine the CBT approach with humanistic values to respond to the emotional needs of santri more thoroughly.]]>
