I actually think that asking people to limit their freedom of expression to that extent is asking a lot. I mean, I wouldn't personally use a counter, but from a previous post I made, it really helps some people. I mean, you want the word "cut" out of the widgets, but you posted it several times, even in capitals in the title of this post. I guess I just have a hard time seeing how a word can be triggering-- I can understand if the context in which the word is used is triggering, but in the case of the widget thingies, it is being used in a positive light-- people are being reminded of their progress. I also self-injure and I think it is nice to see people finding something that works for them in order to track their recovery process.
