I feel so stressed out, because I want to talk to T about this before it has time to come back, but we have SO much else to talk about...things that I feel are, at the moment, more important than this. I never feel like I have enough time to really get through everything.

Yep, can totally relate. Right now I'm experiencing in therapy a lot of I don't have enough time to tell you everything and listen to what you have to say. It never feels like there is enough time. But, this is important stuff, I don't know what else is on your agenda but recognizing the triggers and finding tools to deal with them can open up new avenues in therapy. Hey, I am the 1st to admit that I don't know if I will SI again, but if I can try to understand the triggers then I don't have to keep going back there. That is what seems hard, repeating the behaviors; it just feels like I want to be past that but I know I'm not.
So right now, I'm not sure if we'll get a chance to discuss this or not. I'm hopefully going to get a phone call from her tomorrow, so maybe I can bring it up then...maybe start to figure it out before my session next week. I don't know...
I hope the phone call goes/went well and you are figuring more things out. It really sounds like you are taking amazing steps to find tools. It's scary at least for me, b/c I'm terrifying of facing life and that is what it feels like I am doing by trying not to SI.

Please post and let us know how you are doing - or pm me.
Thanks for this!
