I have found that therapy isn't so much about stopping cutting. My T rarely wants me to talk about cutting at all. Cutting is just a symptom, or a way of dealing with what is going on in your life. Therapy is about dealing with life more effectively, and becoming the person you want to be. Whether the person you want to be includes cutting, or not, is kind-of your decision. It is usually the case that once you feel good about your ability to cope with life, you won't need SI anymore.
