It's technically not "self injury" because you're not making an actual injury. Once it re-heats, you're fine. You couldn't do any REAL damage, so it seems like an acceptable solution. 
It's not how you do it, it's why you do it. 
Yeah, but if doing that stops someone from slicing their arms/legs all to pieces, I'm all for suggesting it. I've been through SI for years, and I've found solutions. If I could stop someone else from doing REAL damage, even if it was just to find a substitution like this, i would be more for it than saying "OH GOD, DON'T DO THAT!" because that doesn't really help at all. 
Then you understand they should find a better and healthier alternative. They're playing with their mind about their pain- not good to play mindtricks on yourself. Finding another alternative, one that doesn't do such things, would be a much better thing to encourage than this sort of behavior. Physically, it may sound great to do. But it still affects the brain in the same way.

The depression or stress is going to anyway. We're not magic, sweetheart.

It just makes it that much more difficult to get over the habit. And using ice in this matter, can hurt you in the long run. So... really, how does it help? I don't see much improvement in that at all.
