Hi everyone,

I'm new here, and this is the first thread I write. For those who don't know, I'm French, so I apologize if there's any mistake.
I started seing a psychologist in October. I can really say that I trust him, he has been absolutely perfect and understanding with all the troubles I have shared with him (self harm, sexual abuse...).

However, two days ago when I saw him we talked about SH, and I told him I had stopped doing it on my arms. So he asked where and I said 'on my thighs', and he said 'where on your thighs ?'.
I don't know why this question embarrased me so much... I kept silent for a while, then I said "my upper thighs" and he kept asking where exactly, saying "come on, tell me." At some point I was almost mad at him, but I don't even know why, I told him I didn't see why it mattered and he said, "then why is it hard for you to tell me ? ". So I showed him vaguely where it was through my clothes.
None of us said anything for a while, and then he said, "that's near your genitals," and he wanted to know what I had to say about it.

As I said, I usually feel comfortable with him. I know I don't talk that much and sometimes it's hard for him to understand me, but I trust him and I don't understand why I couldn't talk about this with him. I completely shut down, and I was probably blushing. I don't understand this embarrassment, and I don't want him to believe it's because of him, and I don't understand what doing it there means and why he thought it was important.

Any thoughts?
