Well, that was about what my therapist said, if I was going to cut there was not a lot she could do to stop me I had to want to stop myself. She did however focus on other things I could do to take the place of cutting.

Thing is if you are determined to cut nothing will stop you and if you are determined to stop you can find the way. Talking to your therapist about it is one good way to work on stopping. I hate having to admit when I run out of other resourses and cut or for me I use pins and needles just enough to bleed and hurt. I think the ideal was not that it was cool to cut but that you are starting on a trip that you are going to have walk yourself. Our therapists can hold our hands but it is up to us individually to do wht it takes to learn to stop and to learn to do the things that help us to stop
