Hi tomboy, yes it can happen, and it doesn't make you weak, it just makes the urges really strong. Which they can be when harming yourself has been a big part of your "coping" and you've been putting a stop to that. But that doesn't mean that there can't be other "healthy" things to replace the harming, it's maybe as much about finding one's that work for you. Might be in the way you look at things/problems, might be in doing things, might be in changing things, might be something else...........? It would be really good if you could talk to your T about it though, and don't worry about disappointing her, OK?!!
You're not "letting her down", you're going through a hard time and she should be there to understand and support you with that. She should know regardless that it's about you, and helping you through this that matters. Therapy is/and should be all about you!! And I'm sure she'd want much more to have helped you with what you're actually going through, than have you perfect a mask for her when you're in front of her, right?? And any of those feelings of shame, guilt....all those feelings that you shouldn't be feeling, just remind yourself that you shouldn't be feeling them, OK? Because you shouldn't!! It matters that you're hurting, and you deserve help with that!! Alison

Be proud of yourself that you stopped SH for so long! If you did it once you cand do it again. Old habits are hard to break. Just b'c you relapsed doesn't mean you can't stop again. Ik you have been struggling with this for years. Give yourself some credit for stopping. Remember that you can change something that drastic so quickly. It takes time.
To me this relapse is just a bump in the road. You have to keep going! I'm sure your T will help things instead of making them worse. She's there for you! Your dear friend, Hoping.

T once said this to me, "There's a reason why I do not tell you to not cut yourself. Cutting is a way for you to cope. It helps you to cope. And my objective is not to get you to stop cutting yourself. My objective is to get you to a place where you can cope without cutting yourself. So I'm not here to judge you.. or this therapy is not about disappointing me. The whole point is for you - to walk with you through this whole process."
I'm sure that's not just my T but it's resonates with most Ts in general. Hoping you'll find the courage to talk it out with your T
