Secret Cutting (also known as Painful Secrets) is a 2000 television film directed by Norma Bailey, starring Kimberlee Peterson and Rhea Perlman, about a self-harming teenager and her relation with family, friends and acquaintances.
Secret Cutting depicts a topic that is in need of understanding, as self mutilation is often seen as taboo and as attention seeking. The film portrays 'cutters' to be sexually promiscuous, unstable and to live in dysfunctional families.
Without the support system of a caring family or close friends, teenager Dawn Cottrell (Kimberlee Peterson) resorts to cutting herself to ease her emotional distress.

After a series of dangerous self-injury incidents, Dawn is finally convinced that she needs outside help and agrees to meet with specialist Dr. Parella.
