Just wondering..

Yep several times. He has accepted now though that I won't show him so he stopped asking.

I don't know if that is what did it or something I said, but afterward she made me promise to tell her when I had the impulse. I had no problem with it until she told me if she thought I would do it, she would hospitalize me. I haven't done it since, but if I were, the PHP I go to will never know it again! Just my outside therp!

Mine has never asked to see it, just asked where I do it at.

[nycgal448]

Mine too.

[IGotThis]

Mine has never asked, but since it's on my hand, whenever it becomes a problem, or makes me worry too much, I just hold out my hand like you would for a high five, and by now she knows what to look for... She's never had to ask, because I've just automatically showed her every time.

T hasn't asked but my nurse has, T has seen my S/H in the summer when it was very hot.

[crazycat000]

Mine has asked once. first session

Yeah. If I tell her I've done it she'll ask to see them. I don't mind though, I mean. As long as she won't report me or break confidentiality, I don't mind showing her.

Mine asked me if there was a spot (my old area or my new area) that I felt safe enough to and willing to show her. I agreed to show her the old one (that happens to be a lot smaller). She looked, came in close, asked me to explain the marks, I want to say she touched it or pointed real close but I wasn't really looking at her and couldn't really go into detail. I thought I was comfortable with it, but she pointed out how immediately tense I got about the situation. I doubt she'll ask anymore and will probably wait until I choose to offer it to her. Before she asked to see it, I almost felt like I was lying about it because she never questioned it. I knew I wasn't, but I couldn't believe she just believed me. I don't regret showing her though.

If my Case Manager finds out when I'm at the PHP, at the bare minimum, she and a nurse have to view it. Very embarrassing.

[ScarletPimpernel]

I have had 8 T's so far. All have asked to see my S/H, and I have always allowed it (because it was on my arms). My new T has seen both my old scars and pictures of the most recent S/H on my thigh. I am no longer embarrassed by it, though I don't "show off" my scars. My only fear with a T seeing it is if she will pass out or be disgusted by it, but I figure if they ask then they should be prepared.

VERY timely question.....

I am supposed to show my T my thighs (where I do most of my cutting) at todays session. I was supposed to not do any SH this past week, but on Friday I gave in to it.

Oh well - I guess I get to be yelled at some more.....

He/She would yell at you for self harming?

Not yell in a literal sense.

You know what I mean (assuming here....). More of the "disappointed look", make you feel guilty stuff. Bordering on the implied her ending our therapy because she senses no progress or a lack of commitment on my side.

All that crap - all wound up in to my MISuse of the phrase "yelled at"

[adam_k]

My therapist has asked but I didn't show. I just explained what I did and she was fine with that. I think she was just trying to determine if it was life threatening or not.

A sign she cares I suppose.

I suppose I agree with your premise. And if she does.... well then that makes one of us.

[puzzclar]

T has asked about location. Never to see (thankfully)

Yes she has asked a few times. I have never shown her though, thats way too personal.

[bronzeowl]

Mine asked if he could see the ones on my arms during our very first session. x.X

To be fair, though, this was after I told him that I always do the worse ones on my legs. Therefore, he knew that the ones on my arms would be mostly faded. Still was kind of odd being asked during the very first session.

[Victoria'smom]

My T will ask to see it the session after she finds out. I think she knows if I said somthing I have temporarily stopped. So she judges how bad it was from that. I have amazing healing powers. So if it's still healing after 3 weeks she knows it was bad.

[herethennow]

Yup, T and pdoc does that. Kind of gets on my nerves at times

[growlithing]

Mine always asks. Actually all of my therapists have always asked. My current one asks to see my newer scars because she wants to check to see if they are healing the way they should.

[Sterella]

Both times, my Ts asked the very first session. The first, I complied...because she was super nice and comforting. Second T, asked very abruptly, caught me off guard. I practically screamed "NO!" at her. I feel really bad about that.
