I Used to Self Harm

I haven't self harmed in about 7 months, but I really feel like doing it today. When/If I do, what is the best way to tell my therapist, without really telling my therapist (Such that he would be legally required to report me to the higher authorities?!)

It’s a complicated thing self harm. When I started (aged 7) it wasn’t spoken about and incredibly taboo. Regarding your therapist it’s always best to be 100% honest with them or they can’t do their job properly, I learnt that the hard way. Hope you find some peace and remember to be kind to yourself🌷
