cut cut cut cut cut cut

I am a cutter. I have just recently begun DBT therapy (to work on not cutting).

My primary therapist (who i saw on Monday) told me that she “understands and respects my cutting and would NOT ask me to stop doing it). Now understand she is the one who pushed me into DBT – so she doesnt want it forever. But she said she would not ask me to stop either.

My point is this….. If cutting helps you deal with your pain and thereby stops you from doing something worse to yourself….. then cutting isnt so bad. But, if you cut and you still need more…. Then I dont think that is the best idea.

Just my opinion.
