I would tell the therapist this, maybe they can explain to your mom its not necessarily a trigger thing. Or if you look on this site, it has lots of resources on Self Injury that may explain this to your mom. You cant fault your mom honey, shes trying. THats a lot more than mosts parents do. You have to help her see what its all about, educate her. talk with her. if you blow up when you are trying to do this stuff she will write it off as you being tempermental right? so be calm, print out resource info on SI and show her. IN the meantime, tell your T what your mom said. She was the therapist says ok? Some parents dont know how to handle SI, they want to protect theyre kids, they think they can make the bad go away.

Make sense? Hope you have a better day. keep us updated.
