I've been lying to my T and I feel guilty. I haven't been telling her about self harm lately, and I've cut twice and lied about it since the last time I told her I did it. I also threw up twice and lied about it. I feel really bad about lying to her, and I'm worried about making her not trust me. But I'm weary of telling her the truth because last month she sent me to the hospital because of my cutting, and she told my mom about it. I don't want to go to the hospital again, and I don't want my mom to know I'm still cutting or that I've thrown up. And I'm worried that if I tell my T, she'll tell my mom again or send me back to inpatient. So now I don't know what to do. I also signed a release form a few weeks ago for her to talk to my mom. I don't know why I signed that. I guess she convinced me to, but now I regret it. So she would totally be able to tell my mom things without even breaking confidentiality. But I feel bad that I've been lying, and I think I probably should tell my T about my self harm so that she can help. But I just don't know what to do about all this.

maybe tell her you are worried to tell her something because of what happened.

I believe you can rescind permission for a therapist to talk to someone at any time. I would do that if I were you and worried about your mother.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I know my T has said I can rescind at any time my permission for her, my marriage counselor, and my p-doc to exchange information. So I assume (since you're in the U.S.), that it would be the same with permission for your T to talk to your mom. If it's keeping you from being honest, then that can't be good for your therapy.
