I'm honestly shocked that she expressed surprise- is she a relatively new therapist? As you become more familiar with SI (through the internet and books) you'll see how common a coping mechanism it is. I often pinch my hands and arms during therapy- it's a way for me to stay present. Both my shrink and therapist understand this and they give me things to hold- my therapist has stuffed animals and my shrink usually has me hold a pillow. Then we work on me staying grounded through other means. My point is you are most definitely not a freak, it just sounds like your therapist lacks experience. Take care, judy
