I'm glad you know that it wasn't your fault and you have nothing to feel guilty about. I'm glad you know that you deserve better. But sometimes knowing isn't feeling, unfortunately. There may be some deeper levels at which this hasn't been resolved.
In light of what you said about the former therapist providing soothing, perhaps you should concentrate on that need more than the self injury itself. Maybe it's all connected, and that will let you be gentler and more nurturing with yourself.
I hope your therapist calls back soon. In the meantime, can you contact your pdoc?
