Question
Habit reversal therapy can certainly be done on your own, but you may see only short term effects. Doing more long term work with a psychotherapist will definitely yield more long term effects. Specifically talking with a therapist about what is motivating your self injury so that you can address the root of the problem will be a lot more effective. If you are in the Los Angeles area, I would be happy to help you: www.drlanichin.com. If you are not I would strongly recommend you see a professional who can guide you through your recovery. Good luck.
