Thank you all for your wonderful encouragement. I just have a minute, but will post more later. It's so nice and comforting knowing that there is somewhere I can go for support such as y'all gave me. Being able to count on that really helps me get through this kind of stuff.
I left out a couple of things: my hairdresser quit cutting hair, and I have to give up my all time favorite beauty product (Clinique's All About Eyes) since it is causing that reaction under my eyes I thought was excema. I'm in mourning for both. :(
Also, I appreciate everyone's thoughts about when they felt safe about disclosing SI. For my client, I just felt sad that there was this evidence of how bad she feels about herself that really intensified my empathic reaction. (Probably being so touchy added to it.) I wish I could have known that (how intensely bad she feels that she feels she needs to punish herself)sooner, but I also view it as a positive indicator for our relationship that she could talk about it now.
Thank you all so much. ((((((Babblers))))))
