I wondered how your therapists respond to talking about self injury? He responds really well.

is it something they can handle? yes
does it concern them? actually no, he tries to normalize it.
do they suggest medication is the only solution? Not the only solution, but he suggests it.
do they want to find out what causes the thoughts? Yes
do they show understanding? Lots of it
have they helped at all? Yes, i haven't si'd in quite some time.
if so, what have they done to help? He helped me to be able to say no.
do they want you to tell them if you have si thoughts? only if I want to.
do they want you to tell them if you have si'd? only if I want to talk about it.
do they suggest hospital for si'ing? never
does it make them uncomfortable to talk about this? I don't think so
do you feel safe sharing with them? sometimes
do you tell them the truth if they are able to hear it? I try to
do they criticise you for it? Absolutely not, never.

My si stuff was a little different, it wasn't as much a coping mechanism as it was me "hearing" voices demanding me to do it. I have since learned that I don't have to obey those command, they really can't hurt me if I don't.
