You are right ((((((((((pegasus))))))))))))))

It hasn't been my experience that therapists are unknowledgeable or uncaring, it's that sometimes I've heard that therapists sometimes don't feel equipped to deal with someone who is actively self-injuring because they don't know how to help. I know I shouldn't lump everyone into one category though, so thanks for pointing that out. You are right, I shouldn't "throw out the baby with the bath water" as the expression goes.
