I've never liked therapists digging into the whole "abuse" thing. Especially since I'd much rather talking about something concrete, like my self-injury since that's real and tangible for me.

But it's all connected I think. Maybe your T thinks that dealing with the abuse stuff will help deal with the SI stuff?

I don't like journalling much either for that reason. Triggering yourself isn't fun at all!

What about doing it so you skip an ENTIRE sheet of paper between days, so you don't have to see the past entries? Or at the end of journalling one day - put a bookmark in at the NEXT place you'll start writing for the next time (if there is one)?

Sometimes also writing it out, in a document on your computer, like Word or Notepad, you can save the different files for different days, and save them to a disk or something, and then give that to T if they want to see it? So you don't have to look at other days, you just start a new file!
