Very much agreed Rapunzel,
My psychiatrist actually has told me in full that she does in fact self-harm and that we shouldn't discuss too much about self-harm. I'm not sure about my DBT therapists though. I have self-harmed in the past, but it has now been over 230 days since my last act of self-harm, which is a positive, however I am sooooo tempted to do it again. I feel that if I self-harm then I'm letting her down, not necessarily myself down though. I don't really care, in fact, I really want to more than anything in the world. If I did, would it really matter to her, or would that hurt her more than me???
Flipping back to the topic:
some therapists do self-harm and others don't, some avoid it because they don't want to trigger you, but sometimes I really think that they do it because they feel triggered themselves.

"To dwell in the here and the now does not mean you never think about the past or responsibility, plan for the future. The idea is simply not to allow yourself to get lost in regrets about past or worries about the past or worries about the future. If you are firmly in the present moment, the past can be an object of inquiry, the object of your mindfulness by looking into the past, but you are still grounded in the present moment"
