Hi daas,
I see your 2 threads have been combined now... it's really good you've come back to respond... I was wondering how you were doing...
It's good to hear you have a therapist.
I wonder, though, if this behaviour has become a habit? How can you stop or bypass behaviour and replace it with a new positive habit?
How long have you been SHing?
Is it a matter of thinking deeply to find the genesis of the impulse towards SH, or is it a question of bypassing it?
I don't know what type of therapist you have, but is she a trained psychologist by any chance?
Do you have a pdoc and, if so, what meds are you taking? How often do you see the pdoc? (psychiatrist)
