Maybe she thought it was meant as a joke?
IDK, it wasn't a joke. For me, SI didn't hurt when I was into it. The hurting meant that I no longer needed to SI.
That's what I wanted to convey to her.

I have never felt like my T was laughing at me inappropriately. I have felt like she didn't realize how serious/sensitive some issues are for me. This is mostly my fault because I'm not very good at communicating my needs or my pain. It's difficult for me to reach out for help or accept what is offered.
I'm sorry that your T laughed and wasn't able to understand what you were trying to say. I think one part of the process is learning how to communicate with our Ts and I hope you are able to bring this up to her when you are ready. Maybe she laughed at the irony
Btw: I made a few jokes in session and emails and my T doesn't always laugh at them. Lol. I know she has a sense of humor so I'm guessing she forgets that I so to sometimes.
