Hello Skittles,
I wish she hadn't said she would phone the police in her message. That was unfortunate. But y'know, suicide is a T's worst nightmare. They get all neurotic about it.
Skittles, it seems to me that you are in a place with your T where you need to open up and trust her. You are expending so much precious energy protecting yourself.
Could you establish some ground rules? Not to involve other people in your treatment.
I think I may understand your frustration with the self-harm stuff. It's like, well, yes, sometimes I do think about dying. But so many people do! Not in an active way, not in a dangerous way. If that is you, you could make this clear to your T.
Could you write to her? Make two copies, take it with you to therapy, and take things one at a time?
You see, once you get past this, you may begin to feel better. I think you would.
I too have called my T for comfort. I learned to say that finally, and to tell him what I needed to hear. IT WORKS! For me at least.
I send you great, warm hugs, big ones that surround you and blot out all the other stuff.
ShortE
