I can tell you for sure that he will object to self-harm being off-limits. You've just witnessed how seriously that issue is taken by T's and other mental health pros. I think it would be unethical for a T to accept treating a person while deliberately ignoring self-harm issues.

But what you say is what you say, and he can't read your mind about what you're thinking and not saying.

Obviously you know you should process all of this stuff with him, right? It can only help. You’ve been through a lot lately. Take advantage of every opportunity to get or explore getting help.
