After about 6 months of therapy it was summer so I started wearing less clothing but I always wear lots of bracelets so she hasn't seen the ones on my arms. I guess she knows why I wear bracelets. We'd already talked a lot about SH by the time this came around. I wear shorts a lot and she saw some of the scars lower down on my thighs. I remember the first time she looked at them very deliberately with a concerned look on her face which made me feel terrible. I stood up and pulled down the hem of my shorts further, making a point of it. Since then she hasn't looked, I think...I sometimes have new cuts but I try to hide them. I don't know if I want her to see them. I have a lot of white scars on my thighs. It's a confusing mix of shame and wanting her to see. I assume she knows why I wear stacks of bracelets though. Unless she is stupid.
