Sometimes that works. Saying I can't do it to myself just makes me want to do it more. Saying I'll do it, but first let me... sometimes delays it enough to make it no longer necessary.
My therapist has seen it a few times, but I think I initiated it, not him. I try to make sure my son never ever sees what I have done, which makes physical disclosure iffy in a therapy setting. I'm not sure if he would even if it were in a more public location though. He's got a very big problem about SI. I suspect he doesn't work with it very often.
He thinks it's weird that I think *he* has a problem with SI. But I envy people the therapists that understand it better and are less judgmental.
