My new T told me last night in session that she pretty much thinks I am going to self harm for the rest of my life. What?! I disagree. Okay so I've self-harmed my entire adult life (minus one year when I abstained) but where's the hope, the encouragement...it sounds like she's given up on me after just three sessions. I had self harmed a little more frequently than what I had been over the past couple of months but I didn't think it was alarmingly so. I think if I can treat the stuff that is causing me to want to self harm then the self harm will subside. Does that even make sense? Or am I kidding myself....

I'm so sorry your T said that. If you're feeling up to it, It'd be cool to prove her wrong.

Did you ask her why she thought that? That sure wasn't helpful!

Yeah, she said, well you haven't stopped yet! I figured this might be one of those provoking things that are said intentionally in order to make a change but it just didn't hit me as therapeutic. It really just sort of irritated me and made me feel bad about myself.

You're right, that would be cool. Summoning inner courage!
Thanks for this!
