Not really? Worth mentioning that Abbie's mentor was a "lovable b*****d type, and he's portrayed favorably in flashbacks because that's how Abbie sees him. Some of his "tough love" approaches may make others feel differently.

Technically yes. A man willingly touches a cursed rosary that severely burns his hand (severe meaning 3rd degree burns) because he can read information from the beads. So while he is technically harming himself, it’s a side effect of a necessary action rather than an intentional act

S1E3 has a possessed man threaten to shoot his wife in a hostage situation and then he shoots himself.
