Thank you gracey for understanding. and yes I have been known to cut there a time or two. but not to the point where a friend of nine did. and no you are not crazy and so on for cutting there. For me when I was cutting there it was to get rid of the feeling of my stepfathers fingers pinching and so on me there. my choices these days on cutting areas is on my right leg, and my stomach. My right leg because I wear a brace on it that requires my wearing a long knee sock so it is not a bell ringer for others that I have on a long sock in the summer. My stomach because I have some stretch marks from having my son. using a thin blade razer there the scars don't show up as anything but stretch marks. I have also been known to cut my fingers for anyone can cut themselves there and blame it on oh I was cooking and wasnt paying attention to what I was doing. so that doesnt ring any bells for my therapist or doctor.. Well maybe not my doctor but a couple months ago my therapist asked me right out where do you cut. Its documented in medical records that Ive had stitches and so on from cutting but she never sees any fresh cuts.At first I was afraid to talk to her about this so I wrote about it in my journal how she never will see any fresh cuts because I know that if she sees a cut within the 24 hours of the act she has grounds to put me in the hospital mental health unit. and Im not putting her or myself in that situation. I also put in there for her a list of where I am known to cut. And I showed her threads that I started on various websites about everyone posting reasons not to cut and ways to help themselves. So she knows yes I cut but I am actively working to stop it. Then she told me that she would not put me into the hospital if I told her BEFORE cutting that the thought was there. It made it so much easier for me to have it out in the open and also easier I now know she wont hospitalize but will help me in other ways when the urges hit.

So maybe you could try writing about your cutting and then just hand it to your therapist. You can also explain why it is so hart for you to talk about it so your therapist will know you're not avoiding it you're just a bit nervious and scared because of where it is that you do it.
