After a month and a half I finally had a session this week. Crazy thing is, my therapist threatened to tell someone of authority about the fact that I cut my stomach...that is, until I told her I wouldn't ever do it again as long as I am her client...I thought therapists were somewhat used to hearing stuff like that; I didn't want her to get worried to that extent, where she would think I am in true danger...I mean, I've hurt myself before, but I always know my limits and I don't cross them...I wonder if she knew EXACTLY how bad the cuts were if she would react...they weren't deep enough to cause serious damage...they were just on the surface of my skin...like if someone cut themselves from shaving...but, she said, it doesn't matter how I did it or how much...all that matters is that I did do it. I thought someone might know about therapists reactions to this. I asked her what other therapists do in this same situation and she said she didn't know. It makes me wonder how many clients shes worked with who have self-injured...thats not my primary concern at all, for being in therapy, but, it makes me wonder. I feel bad for upsetting her.!!!! please don't make me feel too guilty by your responses!
