Afraid to Tell My Counselor I’m Cutting

January 25, 2012

“I struggle with disordered eating, for which I have been seeing a therapist for several months now. I’ve told her all about my eating issues, but have been afraid to let her know I also struggle with cutting myself. I don’t want to overwhelm her or make her think I’m beyond hope. My friend says I need to tell her what’s going on. How can this really help me?”
