But. . .haven't you said that you were doing much worse in terms of self-harm before you started seeing the current T?
So -- a trade off, maybe? I think therapists need some better ways to help people but currently, they don't. And for what it is worth, this forum has helped me a lot once the therapy did end.

Yes therapy has helped me with my dangerous coping behaviors but replaced it with something more insidious and it showed itself yesterday if you read my other post.
I do not know how to fix me. I am robbing peter to pay paul.....and that is how it feels lately.

Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
