Well for the first time in years i cut. I can't believe it although i have been using food and all kinds of other things in the past but now I want to recover not go backwards. I feel so guilty cause I had to tell my T and i felt liked it really wigged her out. I can't intentuibakkt lie to her. self injury this could be triggering self injury this could be triggering

I know how that goes, esp. if you are really connected to your T -- I cried and cried the first time I cut after my last long-term one (I have had a few quick duds since then) had worked for months to help me not to anymore. We talked about it and he said he was surprised that I was more worried about letting him down than I was about myself.

I'm sure your T just wants you to be OK, and surely she knows setbacks happen. Just focus on how long you went without before and know that you can do it again.

that would be hard ... maybe next session you can talk to her about it... and let her know how her reaction made you feel... take gentle care... lyn

Im sure your T would understand hun, so just go for it... maybe your T will be able to ease the guilt a bit and make u realise that its okay to take a step back sometimes, you've done so well, we cant all just recover like that!

just a thought... when i cut... my t makes it clear that he isn't happy... he makes me show him and then won't let me get away with shrugging my shoulders... and not talking... sometimes i feel like he is angry at me or that he doesn't undersand... but i think he is holding me accountable... we have a unwritten agreement that i will try and call him if i am going to cut... but that i will call if my intentions are more then si... do you think that was what your t was expressing to you... that she wasn't happy with your choice to si and that she is concerned for your safety? maybe setting up a safety plan with her would help both of you understand... just a thought... stay safe...lyn
