jully i don't cut for attention either... and my t knows that... i think that if you talk to your t... and let him/her know what you need ... i realized last week that he is concerned that i will self sabotage when he points out my successes... he said something about it when he pointed out that i had only cut 1 time since the beginning of december... i have noticed that when he points out my cycle... i get angry...he is usually right... grrrrrrr.... if he just ignored it all... i don't think that would work for me... it's kind of like sweeping the dirt under the rug ... you know?

kiya in the beginning he left it to me to tell him... but when i cut it's really hard for me to admit it out loud.... so i would get to the end of the session and not tell him... or would blurt it out on the way out ... so now he just takes my chart from me in the beginning... sometimes i ask if we can talk about it at the end.
