Here's your well deserved Happy Dance for you.
You did a really great job in your first session with T. It takes time to build trust so take your time and remember to breath.

Sounds like you have a good T there. Sounds like she understands about the cutting. My T does the same thing and ask to see the cuts. My T just says he cares about our well being and that he just wants to make sure we are OK and that's why he wants to see the cuts. It takes a lot to work through the cutting. We have been doing it since we were like 9 or 10 years old. We just have to learn to redirect our feelings into something that's not harmful to our bodies.

Good Luck with T, It's a long journey of healing. But always worth it.
