It's all so confusing.
Your goals sound very broad to me, Rose; can you maybe work with your T to break them down into manageable chunks?

For instance, could you set a goal such as, "I will not cut or burn for one week." or if this is unrealistic, try "I will not cut or burn for one day." Then once you reach that short-term goal, go a little longer, "I will not cut or burn for two days (weeks)."
