So I'm supposed to see a counsellor soon (after I finish getting some other medical tests done for other issues) and at the moment I'm a little worried, I'm not sure if I should mention SI or not? (Is scratching even considered SI?) I was being referred to a counsellor originally by my doctor for major fidgeting and anxiety/paranoia. So should it be mentioned? (Is it even SI?)
 Thanks ahead of time! |

scratching is si...it just isn't as harmful as using razors but could accelerate to that if it persists. it is something you should tell the counselor about. I know it is scary but it is not something he/she wouldn't have heard before. it is very common. they can only help you if you are honest with them. si is a coping skill you use and they need to know how you cope so they can teach you new skills. good luck and take care.

I agree with kaliope it would be best to be as honest with your T as possible. This helps them develop the best treatment plan for you.
Best wishes
