Well done! Each time you take control over those urges gives you more power to overcome them the next time! And they will weaken each time too.

Good for you! God surely did help you.

The symptom of self harm is not the problem, though it causes problems and is not the best way to cope, but it is a coping mechanism. (I know you know this, but it's good to be reminded. )

You're addressing the real issues in counseling I suspect, and you're sucessfully coping today! I'm proud of you.

I reread your initial post. I think now you do have a choice, to choose to cope better than by self harming. What do you think? Has the T given you better ways to cope during this time?

Therapy --healing-- is hard work. You grow stronger as you do this work. Hope you have a better day!
