Actually Pink, I am surprise that he wants you to go for "cutting."

I am starting by saying that I have been in the hospital a number of times and do not have a problem with them.

But, the idea of putting someone in the hospital for cutting does not make sense to me. All being inpatient will do is remove the opportunity from you (and actually I have cut in the hospital and then been given one-on-one supervision)

Cutting requires dealing with the issues in therapy. Being in the hospital does not take those issues away. It just removes the opportunity, as best as it can. When you get out, the issues are still going to be there.

To me, going to the hospital for cutting is a waste of your money and time. You would be better off spending it in therapy with your T dealing with the issues that make you cut.

A good analogy is this:
An overweight kids wants a cookie from mom. Mom hides the cookie jar that day so the kid does not have access to the cookies. But after a week, mom puts the cookie jar back....the kid still wants a cookie.

Unless the hospital is like the SAFE program in Chicago that spends months focusing on the issues behind cutting and everyone their is a cutter, then I don't think it is worth your time.
