My T never mentions it - which I'm glad. I don't realize that I'm doing it until after it's happened. I don't know what it is.
Usually I try to have something in my hands to play with, even if it's just my coat.
Should we be telling out Ts about this? I mean, it sounds like it pretty normal and a lot of us do it.

You;re welcome
. I too, am very uncomfortable about asking the question, but I was actualyl curious if it was only me...generally when u think it's only you, it never is.
I pinch and scratch usually during therapy and sometimes it will bleed too...but didn't realize it until after. Sometimes, I touch her couch constantly to try to keep my hand busy with something
You can mention it, but you're therapist may not mention anything because maybe she feels it will cause u more anxiety ( i think that's why mine isnt saying anything...she feels i wont be comfortable...)
