The main reason I question it was because I did something elective in my late teens/early 20s, that is just about unheard of (I'm sorry, I'd rather not say), and I did it for my own benefit. She took it as a form of self harm and punishment. I have a history of MENTALLY punishing myself.... and I was very surprised by her reaction to that. So I'm just leery.

Petra5ed, you make sense....that's exactly it. It's my last session before a 3 week break, and I would like to prioritize what we discuss. Not discuss things like this, which could be interpreted the wrong way. I've got time to sleep on it, and think about it tomorrow. I either go in in short sleeves and have it brought up, or wear something with long sleeves (in 81 degree weather) and hide it. I HAVE worn this certain shirt with long sleeves recently, just because, (I get cold easier than hot), and figure I could always get away with that shirt again. I look like abag lady, but oh well! I'm really going to miss our sessions....and she knows I'm really fretting about that.
