To what extent is T providing you with alternative means of coping with triggers?

That's what I was thinking--that T was afraid the trauma therapy would be triggering and cause you to self-harm more. You're still seeing your T in the meantime, right? If so, agree with what Bill said--to talk about alternatives to SH, a safety plan, like do x, y, z first, then if that doesn't work, call T (if outside-session contact is allowed) or a hotline, etc.
