How about taking what you wrote here to your next therapy, and if after reading what you wrote, he still doesn't get it, then I would want him to explain why is one thing so awful and the others are not.
I used to be a cutter and also 20 some years ago in hospital would bang my head so hard on the wall, I would have a goose egg and end up in restraints. So, yep there are things worse than cutting. I think I am very fortunate, though, as I never really used to scar and still hardly do even from surgeries. Can barely see the scars from surgery. So, unfortunately that is the down side of cutting--when you stop and no longer feel the need to cut, then hopefully you won't have to go around always wearing long sleeved shirts or long pants. What would he think if you started burning yourself with cigarettes. I used to do that too. God I guess I really was a mess back then.
Seriously, why not take your post to your doctor so he can see what is so upsetting to you.
