So I have self injred since I was 12, I am 24 now. Over the last few years it hasn't happend as much. I recently started seeing a therapist and recently self harmed and she made me very upset.

I still live at home with my parents (moved back a year ago) and I listed my mother as my emergency contact on the therapists form. Our first meeting I told my therapist I recently self harmed but do not have suicidal thoughts. She did something that really threw me off. She said well I may have to tell your mother about this?

I am like wtf. I am 24 years old, an adult, not suicidal, my cuts were on my leg at that time and she says she might tell my mother? Can she do this?

Now I feel I cannot trust her with anything if she is going to threaten me like some child. I thought that she would have to keep this private? can she do this? I don't want my family to know because frankly it is none of their damn business.

Should I talk to her about this? what should i say to my therapist?
