I feel like self-harming right now and it’s a crisis to me.

You’re looking at the trees, not the forest. Your frequent desire to self-harm and then doing it is an ongoing crisis to your therapist. You can’t look at each incident separately and you can’t say it’s a crisis only if it’s a medical crisis; it’s a psychological crisis.

I didnt know self harm was a thing of concern until i joined this forum. I dont think it is important enough to tell my t. Its just something ido.

I don't think it's a crisis either. I don't do it often anymore. These days I'll go years without doing it. Recently I did it once when I knew my therapist was definitely going to die and twice more after he died. Haven't done it in a few weeks, probably won't do it again is my guess.

For me, it's a coping mechanism. Not a good one and less and less effective as I get older. But not a crisis at all.

ETA: I also don't get anywhere close to the point of having to go to the hospital. I'm fairly careful not to leave permanent scars even.

For me, SH was a sign of a crisis. It was a coping skill I used when nothing else helped. I knew there wasn't much coping afterwards, so it was definitely a warning sign.

I think when you still actively use SH, you can't see how unhealthy it is. Like other addictions too. So to you, it's okay, but in reality it's not.
