It's good you reached out to someone, Kit--it's worth seeing if she could be a good fit. (I reached out to a couple today myself.)

Regarding SH, there are also different reasons that people do it. So you'll need to be sure your T understands why *you* do it. For example, the times I've done it have been more about self-loathing and sort of punishing myself. Which sounds different from why you do it.
