Is a pronoun needed before the verb if the direct object is “toi-même”?

C’est un pléonasme (une répétition), pour renforcer encore plus sur qui porte l’action (faire du tort). Ce n’est pas obligatoire.

On peut dire simplement:

Tu te faisais du tort. (qui remplace : tu faisais du tort à toi, qu’on ne devrait pas employer).

Tu faisais du tort à toi-même. (insistance).
