> 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.
Where is your son or husband at the moment? If they are out can you say "I'll do it after x o'clock", ie after they get home? Then you would have them as a distraction and it would obviously be a deterrent to do it with your son there. But that might all be a terrible idea. I'm no good at parenting stuff either.

But I envy people the therapists that understand it better and are less judgmental.If he thinks it's weird that you think he has a problem with it, then maybe he doesn't have a problem with it?? Maybe you're projecting something on to him? Although, you haven't mentioned exactly how he is judgemental. I hope he doesn't turn green and say "eww gross" when he sees it. Then it would be a pretty safe bet he does have a problem with it :)
Regardless of how he reacts, maybe you could promise yourself (and them him at your next appointment) that you'll always show it to him. That way, you may be less likely to do it in a place that is too private.
