To preface this, I am a 23 yo female. Ive been self h@rming for a decade. I recently had a relapse. My psychiatrist asked me to show her. I told her my cuts were under my shirt and shorts (chest and thighs) and I didn’t feel comfortable removing my clothing. She said that she was a medical doctor and that I shouldn’t feel uncomfortable and that she’d only look and not touch. I complied because I didn’t know what else to do in the moment. Was this okay for her to ask? Ive never had to show my body to any other mental health provider before.  I know I had a choice, I just got scared.
