When I go to therapy do they have to tell my mom that I self harm?

I tend to not hide them, just because most people tend to not notice because they’re on my thighs, but if someone were to ask me to cover them more because it triggers them I would immediately. This doesn’t apply, however, to people who might ask me to cover them because it’s “weird” or “gross.” They’re healed scars.

Im sorry if i misunderstood this, but i think social media helped me alot whot self harm and other stuff, Also great work and i wish you get better whit your condition <3

i wish i came across this like 5 days ago! i was so not prepared for all the very personal questions my therapist asked me, and it was really hard to talk about it, but i'm glad i came across it now as i am going to be going weekly :)

My mom called me an attention seeker and she’s gonna take my phone away

I just don’t know how to tell them I think I have depression and suicidal thoughts.

I snap rubber bands instead of cutting, since my religion prohibits damaging one's body. After I snap, there will be pink marks on my wrist for an hour up to a day or two, depending on how much/hard I snap. If I go far enough, I have marks from an internal injury that are very visible for a few days. I anyway wear long sleeves, but I make sure that my wrists are fully covered when I'm at home and am wearing a rubber band or have marks. I don't hide my snapping at school, but I do at home as I'm afraid my parents will know what the rubber band means. They already know I have SI, and I've started therapy, but I haven't decided whether or not to tell them about my snapping. I'm afraid they will make me give up my rubber bands and I'll have to use other non-damaging self-harm methods that I use but don't like as much. To be honest, I don't really want to stop. I don't want to cut (as I have had thoughts of doing) or continue possibly violating religious law with my internal injuries I can cause, but self-harm really does help me cope, even though I know it's unhealthy. I haven't yet told the therapist I just started with. I'll mention it next session, but I'm kind of afraid she or my parents will try to force me to stop. I have other people who know about my snapping, and they've been respectful and supportive. I don't know what to do.

um nothing is helping :(

The unless..

hey there, i have been struggling with depression lately. this happened again 3 years before and I think I somehow managed to get out of it. i didn't even realize I might have had depression. I have been feeling very down for the past 1-2 months and it just doesn't seem to leave me. my father is also struggling with depression and he also takes medications. i think that's kinda his personality as this happened to him before I was born throughout his life. I also read that people with depressed parents are 3x more likely to have depression. anyways I think they would understand but I don't want them to say things like you're too young to understand what depression even is. do you have suggestions?

I dont wanna answer the safety question cause i dont know how to answer

Thank you!

I've always had problems with resentments and forgiveness because of the things some people did to me especially the major things. I went to treatment for an addiction problem and I have mental health issues to get sober and in recovery where I had a therapist and a sponsor I did the steps with. My therapist told me that resentments only hurt you, not the other person. You do it for yourself. The steps are all about letting go of bad behaviors, making amends, becoming a better person, and helping others. I had to write down all my resentments, how they affected me, and my part in them. When you see your part you know what to change and make amends if needed. Tjis doesnt apply to every situation though like if you were abused. I also try to understand why people are the way they are and do what they do. Not justifying or condoning their behaviors but we act how we do for a reason. Then it helps have more compassion and pray for them. If they change be happy for them, if not, don't stoop to their level and get revenge, but be the bigger person and be kind. They will get their karma whether from an experience, another person, or God. I wouldn't wish that. It's good to heal and protect yourself.

I did therapy once when I was four, just before primary, my mom said I'm probably going to go again for secondary because I definitely would not be able to handle the divided classes stuff.

Seriously?🤨

Thank you very much for this content. I am a guy in his first year of college, and I am having a lot of anxiety and worries since I have started. Sometimes it seems like it's getting better, and after some days or even less I face the same panic situations.

I had one that told my parents every thing

❤️ Conversations can heal and you are not alone! Here are 3 ways to revisit the conversation when you have sh relapse: 1️⃣ Use your Coping Skills before, during and after the conversation. These conversations can come with a lot of emotions. Using coping skills to regulate before the conversation can help you start at a more manageable level, during can help you hang in there through the conversation, and after because if it goes sideways, you’re gonna need to regulate, but even if it goes well you just went in an emotional rollercoaster and you’ll need to regulate. 2️⃣ Write Down what you want to say. Taking the time to write down what you want to say, or key points, can help you stay on track and get your point across. You can bring it with you to the conversation so you have something to hold and look at. And if you start feeling emotional, you can share what you’ve written with the person you’re talking with. 3️⃣ Stay kind with yourself. Relapsing is hard enough, and so is asking for help. You are doing a good, kind thing by seeking support ❤️ Curious how to create your own personalized coping skills list that *actually* work for you? ✅ You’ll want to join us in the Coping Skills Crash Course where I break it all down for you. 💬 Comment “COPING” to see more help like this. 🔗 is in the video description #copingskills #mentalhealthsupport #shhelp #helpforsh #dbtskills #youarenotalone❤️

Very helpful

Mam i have a anxity issue my stomac swelling uper right side ,bloting,nauses all the time medicine not working it is possible anxity causes swelling intestine i have back pain also pls ans

I hate therapists. Have had two of them. For several thousand dollars got only more pain, humiliation and traumas. Now I avoid you guys at any cost even in the streets.

My mom found out about my sh but then I stopped 😃 But now I’m starting my to relapse but idk how to bring it up

This is becoming more difficult as the years pass. There are way too many Doctors that are able to prescribe Service dogs but choose not to. We have been on the search for one in Texas that will prescribe one for my son. His medical team agrees it would help but his psychiatric doctor refuses. Then we added a second doctor to ask him and he asked why didn't the first doctor do it. We told him exactly what she said "She doesn't feel comfortable putting her name on that" then the second doctor also agreed. We do not yet have a dog but need the letter first in order to get a trained dog for my son's tasking needs. We want to be legit about how we go about this but it is a difficult task. Any advice or help?

Based on my experiences its not that i dont believe in therapy Its thats therapists are often a nightmare I dont want to talk to someone who will not believe me Or will hear what i said but think i said something else What is the point in therapy if im constantly made to rephase what i said because they think i said something i didut Its like being in a endless hamster wheel

Trying to get this all as a minor in school; struggling to get calls and emails back from people! As its something i feel like i need, it does suck a lot when it all depends on the people who forget to respond to me :(

Ironically a backpack with 2 straps is probably better for the back of an adult

Cried in the first 4 minutes

this helped me realize i have separation anxiety from my girlfriend and it sucks so i wanna learn about it

i feel like my parents will just say "Your going through puberty, its normal"

I hate summer so much uch

💾 SAVE THIS if you’ve struggled to feel safe or secure during telehealth therapy (like with a snoopy roommate or loud siblings). I’ve got 7️⃣ tips to help you feel more in control, even in a chaotic environment. ICYMI - hi 👋 I’m Mallory Grimste (she/her), a licensed mental health therapist (LCSW) in CT and NY. Here are the top tips my clients use for privacy during therapy: 1️⃣ 🎧 Headphones: Using them blocks eavesdroppers from hearing the full conversation. 2️⃣ 🪧 Signage: Place a sign on the door to remind others you’re in therapy. Sometimes people need that extra reminder to pause before opening the door. 3️⃣ 🚪 Sheet/Towel under the door: Did you know most doorways have a gap at the bottom? Rolling up a towel and placing it there can help reduce noise leaving the room. 4️⃣ 🎶 Music or Sound outside the room: Placing a sound machine or playing music outside the room helps mask the conversation inside. 5️⃣ 🚙 Creative Locations: My clients have done therapy from closets, parked cars, the garage, even the bathroom (not in use, of course 😅). 6️⃣ 🥸 Code Names: If there’s something you don’t want overheard, you can use code names or aliases for people in your life (*unless there’s a safety concern). 7️⃣ 💬 Chat: If the telehealth platform allows, use the secure chat for things you’d prefer not to say aloud. 💡 These little changes can create a safe space for your therapy sessions.

It's not very helpful with all of the distractions of, "Good job" etc. I didn't get a guided meditation out of this video. I kept waiting for it to start, but it never did.

How can I help my teenage I’m from Texas

Hi 👋 today i had anxiety attack in class i was breathing very fast and my head started shaking out of my control. I found it so hard pretending to be listening as the teacher thought i was just zoning out. Im going to try these next time. I hope it works❤😅

Hi!! So I just started self harming and I’ve been struggling with it a lot. My parents are strict and when they saw my first ever self harm scar (my mum did) she said “oh no I hope your not joining in with any of those SeLf HaRm TrEnDs😂” and it made me really upset. I hide the cuts on my wrist with a rainbow glove. I trust my dad with this topic more than my mum tbh. I was wondering if maybe I should message my dad about it since he’s a fifo worker and is currently at work so he has time to process it? I don’t know what I’m meant to do because I know my mum will just take my phone and electronics away, and will punish me BAD. Whilst my dad might end up telling mum or just getting made or upset about all the cuts on my wrist. I really need help on what steps to take, so they know it’s serious. Thank you❤ (my mum can be supportive but I’m afraid she’ll just get made at me for the cuts on my wrist)

“OK - I understand… is the crying helping you to feel better? (Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t)” “Give me 10minutes and I’ll call you” “But first, let’s get you feeling regulated and back in control of your body responses to the emotions :) what have you already tried so we’re not recreating the wheel?” “That’s amazing!!! Can’t wait to celebrate in our next session 🥳 “ “Oh no! That’s awful- did you want to talk?” One of the major benefits of being a counseling client of mine is that you can text, call or email me between sessions if you need an in-the-moment pep talk or gentle reminder you’re not alone.
