Right now you just don't know another way and think that you deserve to hurt yourself. It's what you know and if you didn't want to find another way you would not be posting here. It matters to you and that is awesome - yippee for you.  There are so many other people who just cut and live their lives that way never seeking help. So...breathe...and know that you are here with others who understand and are struggling and recovering with it.
Suffering for me is as natural as breathing...and it has never occured to me that there could be something else. Cutting is the same way a reaction. If that is what your therapist is telling you then can you take it a step further and together find some ways of working on this? At least for me it's not about the cutting ~ it's the thoughts and feelings that get me there and without even realizing it I am in that dark place.
You may not realize it but you did an amazing thing by posting ~ yes, you can find other ways of coping, it just may take some time.
