Let me preface this real quick by saying that I have also used cutting as a coping mechanism off and on for over half my life. I would like to encourage you to not think of your self as a "cutter" but someone who uses cutting as a coping mechanism.
Are you wanting help stopping? Are you wanting accountability? Are you wanting to bring it up so that someone else knows and you aren't carrying it around alone anymore? Basically, I'm asking you why you want to bring it up. Please feel no obligation to answer here. There isn't really a right or wrong answer, just your own personal truth.
Most therapists know well how to handle this type of coping mechanism. Your T will likely have questions about it, but in my experience hospitalization isn't a high risk for nonsucideal self injurious behavior. Your post here would be an excellent way to bring it up.
