Wow, I'm really surprised to read these responses.

I only started therapy about a month ago when I went to the counseling center on campus. I mentioned in my intake that I SH and was immediately made to see a psychiatrist.
The psychiatrist physically barred me from leaving her office until I showed her my arms (even though I hadn't said that was where I SH). She also verbally threatened me with being sent to hospital if I did not show her.

When I went in for a second appointment for intake, the therapist then made me show her my arms, too. I was in tears both times, it was so overwhelming and humiliating.

I'm really glad that other people have not been forced into that situation.
