I've started a DBT skills group in Novembre, and for the last 4 or 5 session there was this guy who doesn't cover his arms even though they are full of major scars from self-harm. This guy is really nice and I don't want to make him feel bad, or self-conscious, I think it's great that he trusts the group enough to show his scars. Problem is this has been quite triggering to me, to the point where I cut myself yesterday... obviously it's not the only reason why I self-harmed, I know it's my fault and I take responsibility for my actions. But since I started seeing his scars, my urge to self-harm is becoming a problem again, whils it wasn't one for years...
My T already knows that I keep thinking about self-harming, but I didn't tell her why. I don't want to ask this guy to cover up, it's my problem if I can't deal with seeing his scars...

So what do you think? Should I tell her or not? Would be easier if she wasn't also this guy's T...
