About the SI tool - I think it's strange he threatened to terminate because of it. Most Ts would try to work on the things that triggered you to buy the tool, and come up with alternate ways of coping and maybe a safety plan. Could you possibly talk this over with him? If he stands behind the termination threat, then maybe it would be best to find a new T who is willing to work more collaboratively with you.

Hang in there, Lbien, and stay safe.....
I totally agree. My t. and I have discussed SI many times. He is concerned when I mention this topic, but tells me that we need to talk about why I feel this way, what triggered it, and find other things I can do instead. He would never threaten to terminate me over that. The fact that your t. did threaten this bothers me a lot. How are you going to learn other ways to soothe yourself if t. won't help you with it?
