What??!!!!
You share something with her that you *should* be able to share with her, and she tells you that you've put her in a bad position, then says that if you tell her again, she'll report you?
But still wants you to tell her?
How attached are you to this therapist? Self injury may be outside her range of abilities. I'm very glad to say that although my therapist was not at all comfortable with my self injury, he was never foolish enough to give me such a confused message.
I'm always reluctant to make judgments about therapy, since I know that context makes all the difference in the world. But that sounds like a message that is incompatible with encouraging clients to be open and honest.
